Questweavers is a six-person team working on a game level that explores environment-driven design through mist-focused stealth-escape gameplay. The project centers on creating a tense, systems-driven adventure level, emphasizing player judgment, environmental storytelling, and systemic stealth interactions, developed through an industry-informed production pipeline that prioritizes clarity and player experience. Set in the RIFTS TTRPG universe, the player takes on the role of a fugitive who has stolen a treasure from the Yama Kings in Mainland China. Hunted relentlessly, they must cross a vast, mist-covered region to find a way out. As they learn to control the mist’s properties, players can evade monsters, reveal new routes, open paths forward, and ultimately reach freedom.
