RiftMode
You move through a space that seems quiet at first, but the world around you reacts in ways you can’t ignore. A faint pulse of light follows your steps, guiding you toward something just out of view. Surfaces shift subtly, as if adjusting to your presence, inviting you to explore further. Each decision you make sends a ripple through the environment, revealing new paths and hidden details. You begin to sense a rhythm beneath everything, a quiet conversation between your actions and the world’s responses, drawing you deeper into its evolving design.
Features include:
- Dynamic Combat System – Mix precision melee combat with specialized instruments, executing devastating combos, parries, and counters. Swap between DAWN and SHADE modes to adapt to different playstyles in real-time.
- UNISON System – Rewrite Reality – The world of SHADE Protocol exists as code. Wield it to manipulate events, relive key moments, and choose their ultimate outcome, shaping the fate of entire factions.
- Unique Defensive Mechanics – Perfectly timed parries and counters restore Echo, a vital energy source for powerful Instrument attacks and defensive maneuvers.
- Instruments – Weapons That Sing – Wield an arsenal of musical weapons, including the Twilight Spear, Sunrise Great Axe, and Midnight Chakram, each with distinct combat and exploration abilities.
What subtle shift in the world makes you pause and pay closer attention? What unexpected response from the world draws you deeper into the experience? What moment makes you feel connected to the rhythm of the world around you? Find out when SHADE Protocol comes to PC via Steam, and hopefully, it will come to other platforms as well. Also, check out the Kickstarter.
