Introduction

Interdict: The Post-Empyrean Age is a classic-style dungeon crawler similar to Wizardry I-V, Might and Magic I & II, and the Etrian Odyssey series. You will create a party of characters and guide them through dangerous labyrinths filled with enemies to battle in turn-based combat, treasures to find, and mysteries to uncover. 

However, Interdict also incorporates significant roguelike elements: most of the game's content is procedurally generated each time you play, the resources available to your party are scarce, and looming over your quest is the threat of "permawipe". Individual characters who die may be revived, but if your party is wiped out, your game is over and you must restart from the beginning, with nothing carrying over from previous attempt.

Description

In Interdict, you play as a group of six prisoners who have been awakened from their forced slumber to find their memories gone and the world shattered.

Starting with only improvised equipment, and barely any memory of what skills they may have once possessed, your party must escape their prison, discover what happened to the world, and whether or not it may yet be restored.

Battles with foes will be frequent and dangerous, but you will confront them with characters of your own design: there are no classes to hold you back. Any character may use any item or learn any skill, they need only train to meet the requirements, and their training is entirely up to you.

Your party's outfitting is also under your control. You can upgrade or craft more of any equipment you find, but the resources needed to do so are finite and few. Will you prioritize weapons, armor, or magical relics? Will you focus on making powerful equipment for one or two to utilize, or spread your resources evenly to make plenty of basic gear for everyone?

These decisions, and more, are entirely yours to make. Your party's success or failure lies in your hands.

Features

• The current version allows the first three dungeons to be fully explored, providing roughly 10 to 20 hours of gameplay.
• Even in this early version, over 210 skills and 280 items are waiting to be found. 
• More than 1500 possible enemies can be generated, giving each game a unique bestiary to test your party against.  (If Elite and Champion variants are counted, more than 56,000 possibilities exist!)
• A 45 page PDF manual is included for old times' sake.

2/14/2026 Version Highlights

• Over 30 new skills have been added to the game, with an emphasis on skills that support archery, great weapons, and polearms, as well as a new mechanic: Leadership. Leadership skills provide impressive benefits for non-Leaders in your party, but inflict serious penalties if the Leader dies.
• The resurrection economy has been rebalanced: Blue Cells now revive all dead party members instead of one each, but you will find far fewer of them than before. This should make deciding when to use them more of an interesting choice, and also make near-wipes a bit less punishing.
• Permadeath can now be enabled at party creation for any number of characters by starting them with the new Royal Blood or Cursed Blood skills. Royal Blood treats permadeath as a trade-off by giving you a small power boost; Cursed Blood enables permadeath with no benefit at all!
• The descriptions of status effects have been updated to be much more specific about their effects.
• As usual, many other bug fixes and balance adjustments are included as well.
• Note: Save files from earlier versions will not work in the 2/14/2026 version. You will need to finish your game in your current version, or begin a new game in the 2/14/2026 version.
