  Behind the Rift — Devlog #1

  Hey everyone, Last week, we revealed our debut game, The Rifted Skies, a parkour VR roguelite game. We've seen your first impressions and couldn't be happier with your enthusiasm - thank you so much! ❤️ We wanted to dig a little bit deeper into the game, talking about the story and what to expect during your runs. Uncover the MysteryThe protagonist is a descendant of the spiritual guardians of a mountain tribe who protected the Sanctuary and stood against the Rift for centuries.

At the same time, the game is designed to always provide players with enough time to react and make meaningful decisions in combat. We won't spoil everything of course, as we want you to find out about them. 👀 Reactive Combat GameplayCombat in The Rifted Skies is built around reactive gameplay, where players must quickly respond to enemy actions with the appropriate counteractions. In every situation, the player has more than one valid solution. As the game progresses, the player’s arsenal of abilities further expands the combat opt...
