Set within the sprawling city-state of Greyhawke, developed by vast corporate funding from Earth, the game places players in the role of an independent agent. As you strive to survive in this oppressive environment, your choices shape not only your fate but also the fate of others standing against corporate tyranny.

As you complete jobs for the underground group known as RIFT, the connections between the corporations become increasingly complex and captivating.
