About the Game

"How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there is no comfort in the truth." Sopholes

In the year 2194 it was decided to send the crew of MPV-426 into The Shimoda Rift. Take control of the vehicle and explore the strange and unsettling world beyond the imposing portal located on Planet Villapoto in the Shimoda System. Navigate treacherous terrain and difficult conditions while following the path of a reckless expedition.

The Shimoda Rift features accurate vehicle physics and unique driving challenges, a haunting and mysterious world that defies reason, and the story of an ill-conceived adventure and it's horrifying fate.

Features

  • Over thirty levels, including unique platform challenges such as elevators, rotating pipes, pistons, collapsing bridges and exploding Space Wraiths designed to test your driving skills and patience.

  • Realistic vehicle physics require a considered and methodical approach by the player and provides a satisfying off-road, rock crawling, truck driving experience.

  • Simple controls and top down view make for an easily accessible experience, perfect for the casual player.

  • Storytelling inspired by ontology and the nature of being, reality and existence. The story is told without explict exposition, relying instead on environmental set pieces, symbolism, and player interpetation.

  • Custom Dark Amibent soundtrack designed and composed by 4jane music creates a cimematic atmosphere and a deeper, artistic experience.
