Riftbloom is an original anime action RPG set on the Lunaris Archipelago, a chain of islands scattered beneath the shattered remains of the moon Kagura. Three hundred years ago Kagura cracked apart and its fragments, the Moonshards, rained down. Wherever a shard lands, reality tears open into a Rift, a pocket world that blooms with crystal flora, monsters called Hollows, and the trapped memories of long-dead heroes known as Echoes.

You play as a Lanternbearer, one of the rare people who can carry a Soul Lantern into a Rift, survive it, and bind the Echoes found inside. Each Echo you bind grants new abilities, combat styles and story fragments. Bind enough of them and you might learn why the moon broke, and whether it can be made whole again.

This wiki is the living design document for the game. Every system, item, place and character is planned here before it is built in Unreal Engine.
