CODENAME_RABBITHOLE
Fractured Chronicle I
When fables fracture.
Awaken beyond the pre-written script.
Ⅰ · The Storyscape
A multiverse forged from shattered tales
The Unraveling
The Unraveling was a sudden dimensional fracture that ripped open the seams separating individual literary domains. Words turned to ash, plot lines severed, physical laws decayed, and landscapes collided into surreal hybrid geographies. Fables lost their guaranteed endings, and their inhabitants were left with real mortality, real free will, and the urgent duty to fight for their survival.
0103
Narrative codex
The protagonists reject the tragedies and roles dictated by the authors of old. They refuse to be sacrifices, victims, or static archetypes.
Each of them carries ghostly fragments of alternate iterations of their own tale, and wonders whether their emotions and desires are truly their own - or echoes of a reader's gaze.
Ⅲ · Systems
Every move rewrites the fight
Party-Switch Combat
Fast-paced, responsive real-time ARPG combat built on instant character switching - tag between party members mid-combo and chain their abilities into one fluid sequence.
- Seamless dynamic tagging between party members mid-combo
- Precision mechanical play: parries, dodges, counter-attacks, and aerial juggle states
- Synergistic elemental and spatial resonance effects with evocative ultimate animations
- High-cadence impact feedback for visceral, readable hits
Precision & resonance
Dodge. Parry. Strike back.
Turn a precise defense into a counter-attack. Combine elemental and spatial abilities through fluid character switches.
Inside the craft — technical notes
The combat framework runs on Unreal's Gameplay Ability System with high-frequency animation blending - every dodge, parry, and elemental burst is authored as a structured, responsive ability.
- Built on the Gameplay Ability System (GAS) in C++ and Blueprints
- High-frequency animation blending keeps every exchange fluid
- High-speed dodges, parries, and elemental bursts as first-class abilities
- Fluid camera tracking through every combo and ultimate
The art of the Storyscape
Next-Gen Anime NPR
Expressive anime characters, crisp silhouettes and dramatic gothic light — a world designed to stay readable even in the heart of combat.
The illumination study is sealed. A raw-to-final comparison will open here when approved game renders are released.
Inside the craft — technical notes
A custom deferred toon-shading signature in Unreal Engine 5.8+ that rejects both flat cartoon shaders and generic photorealism - clean forms and silhouettes stay readable at every camera distance and combat speed.
- Custom 1D directional toon-ramp transitions — no muddy diffuse shadows, full geometric depth
- Facial shadow maps (ILM) keep flattering, cinematic anime contours at any light angle
- Dynamic stylized 'angel ring' hair highlights over sculpted hair meshes
- Dual outline technique: inverted hull geometry plus screen-space edge detection
