A time travel breakthrough at Waldorp-Verr Aerospace Corporation has come under scrutiny from the US Government. An investigative audit goes wrong and the research facility is flooded by a prehistoric lake!
You play as Craig O'Dell, a member of a covert group tasked with rescuing the only scientist who understands how the time portal works!
Primal Rift is a turn-based, single-character RPG set in a flooded research facility.
Note from the Developer:
I set out to make a classic solo-character console-style RPG similar to the original Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest with a few fun twists and no filler. Instead of rescuing a princess in a tower, you will be saving a scientist trapped in a research facility. Instead of swords and magic, you will be using knives and guns. The game also takes place in one large interconnected "dungeon" as opposed to multiple towns and dungeons.
Meet fascinating prehistoric creatures!
Make tough life-or-death decisions.
Wield an arsenal of weapons such as knives, SMGs, rifles, and more.
Climb, swim, jump and most importantly fight for your life!
Tons of secrets to discover!
