9 itemsAbout the Game
Every run is a race against the Rift swallowing reality. Fall, return, push deeper. Welcome to The Rifted Skies, a VR roguelite built for speed and flow.
Parkour Without Motion Sickness
In The Rifted Skies, your body drives movement. Sprint by swinging your arms, jump by throwing them upward, leap across gaps, slide, glide and climb anything that looks like it can hold you. Feel every run and make your muscles ache, with minimal buttons and no motion sickness.
Dodge, Deflect, Survive
Combat is reactive and skill-based. Dodge, deflect, interrupt. Wield the bow or katana to send projectiles back or smash through your foes at full speed. Enemies grow tougher, fights faster, and every move matters.
Build Your Run
Collect gems from ancient altars and shape your power with every pick. Some upgrades click together, others clash. Push your luck and craft a run that feels your own. With 100+ run upgrades and permanent unlocks, including flight, grappling hook, and charged fist, no two runs feel the same.
