Questweavers is a third-person stealth adventure level set in the RIFTS universe. Built around a hostile mist-filled landscape, the project explores how environmental storytelling, player judgment, and system-driven stealth can create a journey shaped by uncertainty, danger, and gradual mastery.
The World
Questweavers is set in RIFTS, a world shaped by collapse, supernatural power, and unstable reality. Our story takes place in RIFTS China, a land ruled by the Yama Kings and sealed behind a supernatural mist wall that cuts it off from outside intervention.
RIFTS China
We chose RIFTS China because it naturally supports the kind of experience we want to create. Its isolation, ruin, and constant supernatural threat make it a strong setting for a stealth journey where the player feels small, vulnerable, and surrounded by the unknown from the very beginning.
The Journey
- The player is a fugitive who once stole a treasure from the Yama Kings
- After losing the village that once sheltered them, they are forced back toward the mist
- At the mist wall, the treasure is revealed to belong to the Celestial Court
- The level begins as the player steps into the mist and starts moving deeper into danger
