About Journey to the Rift

In the far north, a strange melody has been luring all manner of monsters, misfits, and miscreants into the depths below. A mysterious power lurks beneath, but to uncover the secrets of this place, you'll need to be equipped with all the wit, strength, and cunning that you can muster, in your Journey to the Rift!

Text-based fun for your imagination!


Uncover the secrets of a mysterious dungeon in this text-based adventure, where every adventure is different! Establish a base camp, venture forth into the dungeon, and get ready for the many puzzles, monsters, and other strange denizens that await! Tackle each encounter in your own way, with each situation having multiple ways to progress.

A different adventure with each playthrough


With over a hundred unique encounters, no two playthroughs will be the same. To add even more variety, the residents of the dungeon will react to how you have handled previous encounters, allowing you to discover different secrets based on how you play! The choices you make will have far reaching consequences beyond the dungeon, so choose wisely!

Make your base camp, a base home!


Between episodes of spelunking you'll need a place to rest and recuperate. Grow your base camp into a burgeoning settlement complete with everything you'll need for your adventures. Expand enough and you'll attract an eclectic gang of characters that can offer their help, while giving you more opportunities for special quests and adventures!

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
