"I was entertained from start to finish, swept into its strange intersection of time, mystery, and sound. Few mobile games manage to be both innovative and nostalgic, but this one nails it." Thank you Geekgasm for the awesome review!!

The brain can only keep ~7 things in working memory. That shaped how we designed RYFT: every system had to respect that limit, so the experience works the way an audio-based adventure game should — kept in your head and off the screen.

I think about this tweet often
Ten years from now you'll put on a jacket and find a mask in the pocket. "Oh man, what a weird year that was," you'll chuckle to yourself. Then you'll pick up your machete and continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving gangs of cannibal raiders.

#indiedevs: if you could magically get the rights to any IP and make a game, what would it be? Mine? Back to the Future IV as an audio-drama adventure game. I loved the @telltalegames.bsky.social BTTF — and I want to see (err... hear) more! Reply with your dream pitches 👇

To make our audio adventure game, we custom built a script editor that integrated with Reaper for recording sessions, editing, and syncing up with the current game build. For the sound nerds out there, our audio lead covers it in depth on his blog: www.jesserope.com/ryft?pvs=25

Before the election, I was visiting a zen center for a beginner's class...the teacher explaining zen to me calmly said "If we're going to have a fascist government, well I guess I'll experience what it's like to live through a fascist government."

We are looking to update some of the graphics moving forward -- most of this project was written/recorded before genAI was even a thing, so it's a fair thing to call out that folks might be questioning what's human-made and what's not.

The entire game is written by a human (me), and recorded by a cast of real voice actors. It's a three person passion project, and donations based. The focus of the game is audio/voice-speech interactions.

Such a classic adventure game response for not wanting to waste time designing empty drawers. We have a few dressers missing drawers in RYFT — although now I’m kicking myself for not directly referencing this line.

Why are audio games just not really a thing? When all these smart home devices came out, there were some attempts. But they’ve all been pretty limited (multiple choice, choose your own adventure, robo-voiced) There’s so much potential here, and that's why we built RYFT to close the…rift?

If you're like me, you're staring down a mountain of laundry to fold this weekend. Why not solve a mansion mystery while you're at it with our audio-based adventure game? 🔊🎮 Play with just your voice. Collect and combine items, talk to characters, and explore a world powered by your imagination.

It's a great observation, so much about what made those early graphic adventures so impactful was the stunning landscape pixel art you would encounter. Something about each being a composed picture (vs. a 3D world you can look around) had some additional story/emotional impact.

Honestly, that's beautiful. As a player, I really appreciate whenever there's a specific artistic direction/experience being offered. I like open camera, but this lets the dev be a bit more cinematographer.

I think there needs to be a MI quote of the day calendar. So many gems in those games. The first thing I did playing Return was turn on the extra dialog settings.

When we got graphics, text adventures became Point-and-clicks. When we (finally) got good voice-to-text we got…not much. There’s a whole audio world to play with — with RYFT we’re trying to open doors in gaming by opening your ears to more ways to play! And it’s FREE on iOS and Android 📲

Love multiple puzzle chains at once. So many games can start to feel linear — one my favorite examples of that is Act II of Monkey Island 2. You’ve got puzzle pieces everywhere that you can solve in different orders.

I'm kind of amazed that no matter how many Steam reviews Old Skies receives, it has consistently remained 1% shy of the threshhold for "Overwhelmingly Positive" (95%) for months. Anyway, we're almost up to 600 reviews! Thanks, everyone. Even the 6% of you who didn't like it.

I finished this game by @dave.powerhoof.com last night. It's got pretty much everything I like: monsters, ghosts, sci-fi conspiracies, and a pumpin' synthwave soundtrack. Not sure I'd have much to say in a video but I'd definitely recommend playing it.
