Press release:
[Warsaw, Poland, – December 15th 2023].
The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games developer and publisher False Prophet are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second major content update for their dark turn-based tactical RPG “BEAST” (now called “BEAST: False Prophet” to better reflect the game’s true vision and deeply rooted narrative).

The said update is available right now for PC via Steam Early Access.

“This update will allow players to complete our game from start to finish with up to 40 hours of varied missions. We’re hoping this will generate enough sales for us to continue fixing bugs and polish the game to its final release in 2024.” says Piotr Pacynko, Founder of False Prophet studio.

To celebrate the new name and content, the studio will be giving the game its biggest discount yet of 40% during the Steam Winter Sale.
Aside from being the studio’s name, False Prophet now serves as the game’s subtitle due to its deep connection to the story.

Throughout protagonist Anton’s personal journey during the story, he must uncover the truth amongst a myriad of lies – hence the name False Prophet. The game takes place during a tumultuous time, set in the Dark Ages, and inspired by Carpathian legends. In BEAST: False Prophet, there is only lesser or greater evil.

BEAST: False Prophet offers two main ways to play: either play it safe and focus on team oriented tactics, or unleash the Beast and rush in for an all-out brutal assault. Each have pros and cons, so you will need to choose wisely depending on how things unfold on the battlefield.

Playing it safe allows your allies to gain various buffs. Once your insanity meter reaches its threshold, you have the opportunity to turn into the Beast allowing your inner demon to come forth, giving you access to devastating attacks to shred through your foes. While becoming the Beast does grant you more power, enemies become less predictable and gain additional abilities of their own.

With 26 Beast abilities, 60 weapon types, 16 companions, 45 playable missions, and there’s plenty of content to enjoy during a 40-hour playthrough of BEAST: False Prophet. The game is also available in a variety of languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Polish.

The second major update for BEAST: False Prophet is live now for free and contains a plethora of new features. For a full list of patch notes, please visit the official homepage.

Most notably, the update includes:

Game now playable from start to finish totalling up to 40 hours of gameplay!

Six new enemy types (and two enemy classes)

A new camp
49 Achievements

Beast: False Prophet Features:

Exercise or Exorcize Your Inner Beast: Will you choose to play it safe and side with your allies or will you unleash the Beast? Both offer a variety of strengths and weaknesses and it’s up to you to decide the right time for each tactic.

Deep, Strategic Gameplay: Select from a plethora of different skills and abilities, and engage in visceral turn-based combat as you maneuver throughout the gridless battlefield. You have limited action points each turn, so use them wisely!

Rich, Dark Story: Narrative is a main focus, offering nuanced characters who are grounded and morally ambiguous. Set during the Dark Ages in a Carpathian-inspired world, players must choose between the lesser of two evils.

Warband: You don’t have to venture forth alone. BEAST: False Prophet gives you access to the warband consisting of loyal comrades, each with different skills and abilities. Will you work alongside them or consume them to enhance your Beast abilities?

BEAST: False Prophet is available in Early Access on Steam and GOG and is Steam Deck compatible. The game will see its biggest discount yet with the game available for $14.99 (40% discount) as part of the Steam Winter Sale, beginning on December 21st.
