Strategy-Survival RPG Project Afterfall Hits 1.0 in November, Final Early Access

Project Afterfall is a single-player and co-op dark survival-strategy RPG which takes players to a post-apocalyptic setting with fantasy elements. After a Steam Early Access launch last year, it’s now preparing to hit version 1.0.

First, a bit of history: Project Afterfall takes place in the same universe as Thea: The Awakening and Thea 2: The Shattering, fantasy turn-based games set in a world that’s inspired by Slavic mythology. The “retro-futuristic urban fantasy” setting doesn’t let go of those elements, but it’s a noticeable evolution with a sharper edge that affects both visuals and gameplay.

After roughly a year in early access, MuHa Games has announced Project Afterfall will hit its 1.0 release on November 3, 2026, on Steam and GOG. Right now, players can also play an early single-player demo and/or jump early into the strategy-RPG, as Update 9 added substantial combat reworks, fixes, another round of polish, and even Steam achievements.

“Customise your characters’ gender, class, and race, and recruit NPC allies to explore the wastelands of Thea, rebuild your colony, and engage in tactical card-based combat. Experience branching narratives and character progression, where every choice shapes your survival and the fate of humanity in this story-rich roguelite adventure.”

Newcomers only need to know Project Afterfall blends exploration, survival mechanics, colony management, and party development, all through turn-based systems that are easy to grasp but harder to master. Branching story paths and tactical card-based combat also make it more enticing for players familiar with games like Slay the Spire. Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Try co-op with a friend.

Straight from MuHa Games, here’s quick rundown of what players can expect:

  • Custom Hero Creation: Personalise your hero’s appearance, choose their class, gender, and tailor their abilities to suit your playstyle.
  • Branching Story: Every choice changes the story and shapes your future.
  • Rebuild & Manage: Rebuild your colony and manage resources in a crumbling world.
  • Survive: Stand against the cruelty of the wastelands and enemies out to get you!
  • Explore & Gather: Scavenge the land for rare resources and hidden secrets.
  • Card-Based Combat: Build your deck and fight with tactical, card-driven battles.
  • Craft & Customise: Craft gear, items, and of course some yummy Slavic foods!
  • Co-op Mode: Team up with a friend for two-player chaos!
