Start Your Journey in Deserter: Prologue
The indie game studio AskaLot Games has announced that Deserter: Prologue is now available on Steam for free. Eager players can dive into this brand-new Stealth-RPG and get a first-hand experience. This version is a standalone chapter for the original game. It will give you early access to the new gameplay systems, the world’s evolving atmosphere, and a taste of what’s to come.
In Deserter: Prologue, players step into the role of John Holden, a soldier whose spirit has been shattered by relentless battles and the lies that surround them. Confronted with a truth he can no longer ignore, Holden realizes there is no path forward except one: desertion. The player must guide him out of a heavily guarded military camp, using stealth, resourcefulness, and courage to survive.
Time becomes the enemy as much as the soldiers around him. Each night provides a chance to gather supplies, craft makeshift tools, and quietly plan the escape. Yet every step risks exposure, and failure brings Holden closer to the very war he seeks to leave behind. Encounters with other soldiers open doors to secret deals, uneasy alliances, and dangerous betrayals, adding further weight to each decision.
The game builds on the traditions of classics like Thief, Dishonored, Shadow Tactics, and Commandos. Fans of methodical stealth, layered strategy, and darkly immersive settings will find themselves at home here. Deserter: Prologue is not only an introduction to a larger story but also a complete challenge in its own right, blending the tension of survival with the haunting atmosphere of a world scarred by endless conflict.
