- Developed by SUPER AC in France × Self-published 1930s Noir world + Anthropomorphic animal characters
- A real-time tactical stealth game continuing the legacy of Commandos, officially selected for Games Made in France 2025.
- Official launch on June 3 amid surge on Steam wishlists… Anticipation rises with release of new trailer
Chicago in the 1930s, where meat, not alcohol, was banned. The confrontation between Al Capone, who built a massive criminal empire through illegal meat smuggling, and Eliot Ness, who seeks to bring it down, is brought to life as a unique tactical stealth game.
French developer SUPER AC announced that it officially released the real-time tactical stealth game ‘PROHIBEAST’ on Steam on June 3. Along with the release, an official launch trailer was also unveiled, featuring the game’s world, key characters, and core gameplay.
Prohibist is a game that combines anthropomorphic animal characters with a noir world inspired by the Prohibition era. Players take on the role of legendary law enforcement officer Elliott Ness and lead the special task force ‘The Untouchables’ to dismantle Al Capone’s criminal organization from within.
1930s Chicago, where anthropomorphic characters meet noir sensibilities
The biggest feature of PROHIBEAST is the 1930s Chicago rendered in 3D isometric view and the anthropomorphic animal characters. Various animals such as jaguars, wolves, and bears appear wearing fedoras and coats as members of criminal organizations and law enforcement officers, creating a unique atmosphere.
The game’s settings consist of dimly lit warehouses, foggy docks on Lake Michigan, and the Chicago Loop district, where corrupt power is concentrated. Each area recreates the gloomy and tense atmosphere characteristic of 1930s film noir, while jazz and blues-inspired music enhances the immersion.
The stealth system is also a differentiating factor. Enemies do not detect the player solely through sight. They track intruders using not only sight but also hearing and smell, so players must move cautiously while taking these detection systems into account.
A unique worldview where meat is forbidden instead of alcohol
Prohibition is characterized by a worldview that offers a unique reinterpretation of the actual American Prohibition era. In a society where meat, not alcohol, was banned, meat became a key commodity in the black market, and Al Capone used this to build a massive criminal organization and take control of the Chicago underworld.
In a society where carnivores and herbivores coexist in a precarious balance, the meat trade has evolved into a massive criminal industry. Players take on the role of Elliott Ness, commanding the Untouchables team to dismantle the criminal organization’s key strongholds one by one.
Untouchable composed of five experts… Team tactics based on division of roles
The core of the game is team tactics utilizing five specialists with different abilities.
Team leader Elliott Ness possesses balanced abilities to handle various situations, while Malone B. Clonan is a veteran agent strong in frontal assaults. Frank E. Egan is a sniper who eliminates enemies from a distance, and Alice Curie is a scientist and doctor responsible for healing and various support equipment. Tina Sanders serves as an expert specialized in lockpicking and infiltration.
Players can choose from various approaches for each mission, such as stealth infiltration, silent takedowns, and diversionary operations. Additionally, they can devise their own strategies by utilizing hidden passages, shelters, and environmental elements that can distract enemies.
The settings are diverse. Each location holds its own dangers and opportunities, such as the Chicago Loop, the center of corrupt power; the Mayor’s mansion, where criminal alliances are formed; and the foggy Lake Michigan docks, a key hub for smuggling.

Attracting attention as a highly anticipated title among fans of the tactical stealth genre.
Prohibist has garnered attention from overseas game communities and media since the early stages of development. In particular, it is reported that its Steam wishlist has steadily increased following its official selection for Games Made in France 2025, a French game showcase.
Overseas media outlets cite its unique worldview, tactical stealth system, and noir-style direction as strengths, evaluating it as a title that will breathe new life into the real-time tactical stealth genre, which has seen a scarcity of new releases for a long time.
Furthermore, within the Steam community, interest continues from users who enjoyed classic tactical stealth games such as Commandos, Desperados, and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, and there are also reactions anticipating a new real-time tactical stealth experience reinterpreted with a modern sensibility.
Fans of the tactical stealth genre are gathering interest in what kind of entertainment the bizarre noir world where meat is forbidden, the crime war between animals, and the meticulous infiltration operation carried out by five experts will offer.
