DESCRIPTION:
After Reset™ RPG is a hard sci-fi post-apocalyptic role-playing game. Inspired by original Fallout 1/2, Baldur's Gate and Planescape:Torment.
PLOT:
Planet Earth. 132 years after the 'Reset', the thermonuclear apocalypse that ended human civilization. Around one third of the globe is covered by 'Yellow Zones' where the ruins of cities are covered with radioactive dust. In these areas, anarchist survivor groups have taken control where uncontaminated food and drinking water are valued on a par with human life. Another third of the earth is in the agony of the 'Red Zones', the epicenters of the deadly anomalies that arose as a result of a nuclear chain reaction in the atmosphere and the morphing of the planet. The majority of life is not capable of surviving in the Red Zones that makes them a perfect home for mutants. The planet is unrecognizable.
CORE FEATURES:
• A POST-APOCALYPTIC ATMOSPHERE, developed with a focus on sci-fi realism and more locations to explore than Fallout 1 and 2 combined.
• A NONLINEAR STORY with the freedom to choose between a ton of branches and endings, which influence the whole setting even beyond the game you play.
• HARDCORE MECHANICS in the best traditions of D&D and SPECIAL, we have created our own system called SACPIC, where you will be able to customize every aspect of your character.
Articles
Hi, guys!
This monthly news and update should be the last one before the Prologue release. If you're our backer or Co-Founder, please, read the full version of it on Kickstarter which comprises the usual patch notes and most of the NDA-stuff I’ve shared with Co-Founders on the forum after the previous update.
This NDA material includes:
• Our current state of affairs.
• Money and issues results report.
• Our plan for the prologue release.
• The future of the After Reset development.
• Preview of the article "Developing AR RPG, the Prologue: Debriefing" I’d like to post it after the Prologue release in October.
• Preview of the article "Developing After Reset: Tips, Insights for Indie Devs" another article specified for indie developers. It consists of concise data on the common issues we and our colleagues faced during the development, our conclusion and solutions we applied. Those issues are something that all indie devs must meet and have to deal with at one time or another.
Right after the Co-Founders, I’d like to share all that data with you before it is made open public to receive your feedback, impressions, thoughts and advice (in case you have one) before making another solid step.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
#1 Guys, during your walkthrough tests please pay attention to drones’ behavior. It took about 4 weeks to rework it so that they don’t freeze and don’t make a jam. Though, I have a suspicion that they might do that again despite our efforts, but we ourselves did not see that bug after the patch.
#2 Previous saved games may not be compatible with this patch (and future ones). This is inevitable for EA and will proceed till the full game release. Nevertheless, the ability to save/load games within every update should save a lot of time for testing and polishing the game. We’ve been testing save/load mechanics for one week only, so, please, if you have time test it more and report about the possible bugs.

Is it possible to buy the game in beta on steam?....I dont have money I can spend on my card but, I have some in my steam wallet
Please, wait till January when we launch open SEA. There you'll be able to buy the game in Steam.
Hi guys might I say that you have a amazing looking and sounding game, so much so that I have just backed you just wondering does the “DIGITAL PRIVATE” AFTER RESET RPG pledge give me access to the current beta or do I have to wait till I comes out on steam? If it does, where would one get the password for the .zip?
Plz, send me a PM with your e-mail. We'll send you the password. But if you can wait several days, you can just wait till you receive your Steam Beata key :)
yeah ill wait for the beta. i'm in no rush still trying to complete "Middle earth Shadow of mordor" look forward to giving this a try though great work!
quisiera que este en español :( no entiendo nada pero se ve genial...
Gracias, amigo. Estoy seguro que con la localización de acción prolongada.
This is looking pretty awesome so far! The art does look pretty realistic. Keep up the good work!
Will there be an option to choose between FPS and 3rd person option? It would be extremly intresting to play game throu an FPS perspective by selecting FPS and 3rd person same as in fallout. It would be extremly intresting in both meaning of gameplay and enviroment to experimence every single detail from your own eyes in the game. Such as details on the weapons and enviroment around you (Such as Dead NPC's/Stuff you killed, Ground,Light flare effecta nd that beautifull felling as you are the one who are in that apocalypse) And ofcourse not everyone like FPS so there could be an option to play in 3rd person shooter or to play from the top. So you give the player a chance to experimence the game in his on will of play.
Have you read the header? In order to have an option to play this game as a 3rd person shooter would mean making a completely different playstyle, since this is supposed to play as the original Fallout and Planescape games, so either turn based combat or realtime/turnbased hybrid with a pause. In the open access build you can zoom in real low and pan the camera so that you can partly see the horizon, so it may have something like Neverwinter Nights zoom, where you technically could play 3rd person, but the caombat was the same and the control was somewhat clunky.
