Rapture is a turn based procedurally generated dungeon crawler with challenging but fair combat. Your objective is to explore the depths of Rapture - an otherworldly dimension that slowly devours time and space, threatening the very fabric of existence. Your team is tasked with finding the source of Rapture and putting an end to it, securing the future of humanity and time itself.

  • Procedurally generated dungeons filled with different enemies, events and items. Each session should never be identical.
  • An in-depth turn based combat system that requires you to take full advantage of your party's skill set and to act strategically to succeed.
  • A large cast of characters, each with it's own abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
  • Extensive party customization with various items and upgrade terminals. Further customize your characters by learning new abilities as you progress through Rapture.

Compose your ideal exploration party from a number of different adventurers to choose from, each with their own strength and weaknesses. Discover which adventurers work best together and develop your own strategies from a large cast of playable characters. Every character has their own set of abilities and an exclusive starting Relic that makes them stand out from the rest.

Rapture is constantly growing and changing. Each session you'll be faced with different challenges as the layout of Rapture shifts constantly. Rapture features procedurally generated dungeons with randomized relics, events and encounters to keep each session unique.

Make your way through the various different layers of Rapture, with each layer becoming increasingly more challenging the longer you descent. Each layer has it's own set of boss encounters, ready to stop adventurers in their tracks as they make their way deeper into Rapture.

Throughout Rapture, you'll discover powerful Relics that can be equipped to your characters to provide them with bonuses and various passive effects. Experiment with various different combinations and synergies to unlock your party's full potential. Your characters can be further customized by reaching the Terminal Room. Spend your hard earned currency on upgrading your party's attributes and restoring their lost vitality. Teach your characters new abilities to prepare for the challenges waiting for you in the layers of Rapture. Interact with mysterious Data Crystals scattered throughout Rapture to change a character's abilities to match your needs.

Rapture Update 1.2

News

Hello!

Since Rapture released a few days ago, I've been working hard to address any bugs or balance issues that showed up. Today I'm going to go over the new features added in the 1.1 and 1.2 patches.

New Player Experience

Since the release of Rapture several adjustments have been made to the game's balance. First of all, Rapture can be a bit harsh on players that are unfamiliar with the game mechanics, leaving them stuck in encounters that take forever to complete or worse.

In patch 1.2 I introduced a new Difficulty setting. As of now there's two different difficulty options, Normal and Easy mode. Normal mode is the difficulty setting that Rapture was designed around, and it will provide a challenging experience. Easy mode is designed for faster sessions and is the ideal difficulty for newer players. Enemies will scale less as the player progresses and elite encounters are 15% weaker.

In the future, I'd like to create a system for customizing the difficulty even further, allowing you to edit the dungeon generation directly, such as how many rooms, enemies, relics to generate per layer, the amount of credits earned and even enemy scaling. This system however, is far from being implemented.

Balance Changes

Rapture contains a lot of customization and due to the nature of each run, your choices can make one party play completely different from another. Certain builds which focused on raising Defense and Resist were performing consistently well but were extremely slow, with battles often taking more than 30 turns to finish.

To address this issue I've introduced two new abilities that you can learn through the Data Crystal event, which scale directly off the user's Defense or Resist stat - giving characters who focus on raising defensive stats a way to output some damage. Furthermore I've added three new Relics to the base set of Relics, to even out the spread of defensive and offensive relics. The distribution of the base Relic set was leaning towards having more Defensive options so the three new offense oriented Relics should help balance it out.

Quality of Life Changes

There's been various Quality of Life changes introduced in the two patches so far in Rapture, such as being able to read character abilities in the party selection screen or letting you toggle Fast Mode on and off during combat. I'm constantly working on Quality of Life changes that improve the player experience.

Demo, Official Soundtrack and Ambiences

In other news a Demo of Rapture is now available through the Steam store. The Demo will allow you to use 10 out of the 16 characters and explore the first layer of Rapture. If you've been on the fence about Rapture I strongly recommend you give it a shot.

Furthermore, we've set up a free OST download for Rapture, which should be available within a couple of days. This OST includes all four tracks composed by Jesse Myers for Rapture.

Finally, some of the environmental ambiences for Rapture have been uploaded by on youtube by Konstantin Stelmach, the Sound Engineer who worked on sound effects and ambiences for Rapture.
