What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've been working on Peripeteia since 2020 and built one of the most passionate communities in indie gaming along the way. The game launched into Early Access in February 2025 with five full missions, two bonus modes, and 30+ hours of content. Early Access funds the remaining story campaign. Updates ship regularly.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until the story campaign is complete. Development hit a rough patch in late 2025 due to a team restructure but is back on track with consistent updates. We won't give a date we can't keep.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Additional story missions to conclude the campaign, more weapons, expanded NPC interactions, a full polish pass, community-driven localization planned. Everything you own now carries forward.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Five levels with branching paths and multiple completion methods. Two bonus modes. 100+ weapons. Inventory tetris now with item transfers between levels. Stealth, combat, hacking, and augmentation systems. 30+ hours of content that keeps surprising people who think they've seen everything”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“May increase at 1.0. Buy now, get everything.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through community interaction we've added features we wouldn't have thought of on our own and implemented community content that makes up the soul of the game – like the fever dream that is Joychan. Development is transparent: commit logs are public on Discord, beta branches are open to backers, and feedback drives what gets built next. A public roadmap is in the works to keep everyone informed post-restructure.”

About This Game

Peripeteia is a cyberpunk immersive sim set in alternate-history Poland – a first-and-third-person game mixing shooter, stealth and RPG mechanics with an unexplored setting and original ideas.

You are Marie: a cybernetic mercenary in a post-Soviet city full of corruption and opportunity, where nations, factions and ideologies clash. You will use your wits, tact, and raw violent nature to complete tasks shrouded in conspiracy and mystery. Logic, skill and ruthless cunning win the day in an interactive world – but when that fails, a loaded gun and the ability to climb virtually anywhere, will suffice.

EXPLORE A CITY THAT GOES DEEPER THAN YOU THINK

Levels so vast they take hours to explore. Every tower, sewer, rooftop and basement is real and reachable. No quest markers. No correct path. If you can see a ledge, Marie can grab it. Forge your own routes with a sabre jammed into a wall or a well-placed crate. Get lost. Find something no one else found. That's the point.

ARM YOURSELF

Over 100 weapons – Cold War surplus, prototype rarities, stolen NATO hardware. Every magazine, every bullet, every attachment exists as a physical object in your inventory. Strip enemy weapons for parts. Transfer your gear between missions. Build your stash in Marie's basement. Plan your loadout or improvise when everything goes wrong.

EVERY PROBLEM HAS MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS

Hack terminals. Possess enemies. Manipulate factions against each other. Sneak through the vents, talk your way past the guards, or come in loud with a stolen PKM. Every mission is a sandbox. Your choices determine who lives, who dies, and whose flag flies over the city.

SURVIVE

Marie is living military surplus – powerful but not invincible. Manage your implants, ration your energy, scavenge what you can. The city doesn't care about you. Its factions will use you and discard you.

LOSE YOURSELF IN THE EASTERN NIGHT

An unforgettable soundtrack featuring Sewerslvt, Ed Harrison (Neotokyo, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided) and a dozen other amazing artists. Drum and bass, atmospheric ambience, breakcore. Post-Soviet brutalism rendered in the grit of the early 2000s with modern lighting. Rain on concrete. Every second of this city sounds and looks exactly as dark as it should.

An immersive sim for people who think the genre never got the sequel it deserved.
