Riftcast
Steam
Discover the realm of Reveria, a wild world a cast of curious creatures call home. Take the role as one of these monsters as you encounter all kinds of Reverians, and embark on all sorts of adventures and quests!

Customise your experience with two versions in Red and Blue, with exclusive and more easily accessible areas, homelands, species and shells, real time progression toggles and two distinct gameplay modes...
In Revery Mode, you're free to tame and nurture your currently active Reverian in one of 10 distinct homelands, while Gazing Mode presents a more challenging experience with requiring regular check-ins to maintain your whole team's well-being all at once - all while playing as the very weakest Reverians.

Play as one of over 50 fully-evolved Reverians in Revery Mode (or 5 special Reverians in Gazing Mode), and encounter over 100 species and discover their unique traits and needs, from dietary needs and instinctual habits to elemental skills and special abilities. Recruit and raise up to 20 party members through adoption, dropped eggs and defeating invaders!

Keep your party in top form by feeding, training and tending to their needs. Spend quality time with your party members by playing minigames and fighting alongside them, and watch bonds form as they hang out amongst each other... but watch out for infighting, truancy and sabotage!
Fight with your party members or enter the fray with your own player character in classic turn-based bouts. Test your skills in Training Battles, participate in Tourneys, and undertake daring Nightward Raids against waves of adversaries!
Visit your homeland for items, amenities and quests, and send off party members to search for materials and work for money and experience. Discover new areas to explore in as you increase your Player Rank with quests and raids!
Manage your inventory wisely and stock up on essential supplies from your homeland's shops and the elusive Alterworks Depot. Harvest plants, go on a voyage for materials, craft your own items and cook new foods with the help of your party members!
This game's still in active development, and certain features, items and the like that are already visible or available don't do anything as of yet. There are also some differences between Red and Blue versions, such as how often certain species appear and what areas are readily available or temporary, but exclusive content isn't totally inaccessible on one or the other.
