Descend into the fractured lattice and calibrate the rift. PrismRift is an offline roguelite puzzle game built around a single elegant mechanic: swipe chains of matching nodes across a 6x7 crystal lattice to discharge fractures lurking in the deep. HOW IT WORKS - Drag your finger through adjacent same-color cells in any direction - Chain 3 or more nodes - longer chains multiply your resonance damage - Each discharged chain whittles a fracture's stability - When a fracture's charge counter hits zero, it strikes back - manage your integrity DESCENT STRUCTURE Every run takes 3-6 minutes. Navigate 5 strata layers, each offering branching paths: confront fractures, recover integrity, or collect passive modifiers. Reach the bottom to complete the descent. MODIFIERS 12 passive upgrades across three categories: Resonance (chain amplification), Integrity (survivability), and Lattice (board behavior). No currency. No upgrades to buy. Pick one from three options after each victory. ARCHIVE First-time fracture defeats unlock permanent Archive entries - full records with lore, stats, and encounter details. Track your discoveries across all runs. PROGRESS Follow your descent statistics: total runs, best depth reached, longest chain, fractures cleared. All data stored locally. FULLY OFFLINE No internet connection required. No account. No login. No ads. No in-app purchases. Everything stays on your device.
