Distortion: Prologue

An epic story-driven role-playing game with elements of strategy and action, introducing an innovative style and the midpunk universe from Game Art Pioneers.

About

THE FIRST
DISTORTION GAME

Takes place in a unique world where futuristic technology coexists with transformed earthly traditions – the planet Chloe | Achaea, colonised by settlers from the Solar System several centuries before the game’s events.

They deliberately abandoned the "benefits" of advanced space cyberpunk civilisation, overpopulation, and corporate oppression in favour of a peaceful and measured life in harmony with nature and each other. However, as is often the case with humanity, things did not go according to plan.

Explore

A vast open world, altered after catastrophic events.

Follow the stories of multiple protagonists, make difficult moral choices, develop your settlement, and fight mysterious creatures.

Immerse yourself in a multifaceted and eclectic world where every detail – from architecture to dialogues – reflects a unique blend of human heritage and technological progress.

Multifaceted Gameplay

Dynamic tactical battles with a variety of enemies
Strategic development of the city-base and outposts
A deep relationship system with companions
Command armies and engage in diplomatic negotiations with factions

Uncover the Secrets

Of hidden laboratories, reshape the planet’s social structure, and attempt to save humanity from an evolutionary trap.

You will experience vivid drama against the backdrop of a dark, viscous, and sometimes even decadent atmosphere of the death of a beautiful utopian civilization under the blows of external forces beyond the control of your heroes. Each of your decisions determines not only your fate, but also the future of the entire civilization. Join the fight for the future of humanity!
