Released!

Thanks so much for checking out Primal Rift. This is a game that I have been working on for the past 4 years.

I initially set out to make a classic solo-character console-style RPG similar to the original Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest with a few fun twists and no filler. Instead of rescuing a princess in a tower, you will be saving a scientist trapped in a research facility. Instead of swords and magic, you will be using knives and guns. The game also takes place in one large interconnected "dungeon" as opposed to multiple towns and dungeons. Finally, I wanted to keep a very tight focus on the main objective and not bog the player down with unnecessary filler.

It was largely an experiment to try and make a console-style JRPG with all the excess stripped away.  

Was I successful?  That's up to the player to determine, but I hope you're able to see what I was going for here. Either way, I look forward to hearing what players think.

Message regarding Gen AI

As an artist for almost 40 years I refuse to use gen AI in my work.  This is a subject that is very important to me and I take extra precautions to avoid  media created with such tools. As a result, every custom asset used in Primal Rift was created by me or a contracted artist. All pre-made assets (such as photos, textures, and sprites) were purchased or licensed from trusted sources. As a player you can rest assured Primal Rift and any other games created by me will be free of generative AI.
