This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace. |
The only available Ubisoft build, build #1188 was uncovered from the most unlikely of places; SteamDB. A commit was left open by accident, allowing anyone who owned the game to download the prototype. The commit has since been closed.
build_version.txt reveals that it was compiled on September 26, 2013, predating the final build by around 6 months. While most of the game is already finalized, it still contains a TON of small differences and leftovers from other prototypes.

For some reason, the Map tab uses an image taken from DigitalGlobe as a placeholder. The map icons are completely different, and the previews of the areas are missing.
