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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Questweavers is set in RIFTS<\/strong>, a world shaped by collapse, supernatural power, and unstable reality. Our story takes place in RIFTS China<\/strong>, a land ruled by the Yama Kings<\/strong> and sealed behind a supernatural mist wall<\/strong> that cuts it off from outside intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

RIFTS China<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We chose RIFTS China<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>
