Our playtest is now offline!
Thank you to everyone who played during this stress test. The Lost Rift team remains deep in development as we push toward our Early Access launch. Your feedback from playtests has been invaluable, and we are already discussing how to incorporate your feedback in as much as possible. We’ve read your comments, followed your discussions, and yes… we know there are still bugs to squash.
Early Access is a partnership between our team and our players to shape Lost Rift into the best game it can be. By inviting you in before the full release, we have been able to gather real-world feedback, see how you engage with our systems, and identify what works and what doesn’t long before the final version. A stress test, like our most recent test, allows us to test our servers and make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible on many types of hardware. This collaborative approach also allows us to refine balance, squash bugs, and introduce features based directly on your feedback.
If you played in the playtest over the weekend, we’d love for you to take a short feedback survey. Feel free to include as much (or as little) info as you'd like to share with us.

Dr. Fynn Sullivan: The Cavebound Scientist
For the last thirty years, Dr. Fynn Sullivan has lived isolated in a fortified cave on the same island of Victoria that you’ve washed up on. On his mind is a single obsession: to unlock the secrets of Kennedite, a material located on the island that he believes can open a path back home.
Fynn was once a leading researcher for Operation Victoria, the scientific organization present on the island. However, Fynn’s caution in studying Kennedite put him in direct conflict with the military’s impatient leader, Captain Wade Davis. Their rivalry exploded, quite literally, when his actions caused a deadly blast that severely injured Wade and many others.
Racked with guilt but vowing to continue his research, he disappeared. Understandably, Wade has despised him ever since. Now in his sixties, he’s worn down from years hunched over improvised workbenches, with a wild-eyed stare that hints at both brilliance and the toll of isolation. Fatigued but sharp, his mind never stops working.
When you find Fynn, he will not leave the safety of his cave base. He has managed to stay alive with the help of other survivors on the island, and now you are among them. Too wary of the dangers outside, he will enlist you as his hands and eyes. Exactly what he is working toward by asking you to help with his research, and how far he is willing to go, is something you will have to discover for yourself.
Helping Fynn will bring you closer to understanding Kennedite’s true power and deeper into his decades-long mission of escape, but it also risks opening doors that should remain shut.
