We hope this message finds you well. Today, we write with a heavy heart to announce the closure of Rift Sweepers on the Steam platform. We realize the the game was put in early access prematurely. As such, it did not receive the attention and engagement we had anticipated within the limited time it was available.
Regrettably, due to various factors and circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue further development and support for Rift Sweepers. This was not a choice we made lightly, and we understand that this news may come as a disappointment to those who did support the game during its brief lifespan.
The closure of Rift Sweepers will take effect on May 31st, 2023. Following this date, the game will be permanently removed from the Steam store, and it will no longer be available for purchase or play. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause, and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate this difficult decision.
We want to express our sincere gratitude to those who did give Rift Sweepers a chance and supported us during its short tenure. Your feedback, however limited, was valuable to us and helped shape the game in its early stages. We truly wish we could have delivered an experience that resonated more strongly with the community.
We understand that some of you may have questions or concerns regarding the closure process. Steam will be processing refunds for those of you who purchased the product. Also, our support team will be available at help@jofsoft.co.kr to address any inquiries you may have and provide assistance where possible.
Though this chapter may be coming to an end sooner than expected, we remain committed to creating quality gaming experiences. We have learned valuable lessons from this experience and will apply them to future projects. Your support has not gone unnoticed, and we hope you will consider joining us on future adventures as we strive to deliver memorable gaming experiences.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to those who did engage with Rift Sweepers and supported our efforts. It is your passion and support that drives us to continue creating and exploring new horizons in the gaming industry. We hope that our paths will cross again in the future, and that together, we can forge new connections and experiences.
Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you many enjoyable and fulfilling gaming experiences ahead.
Sincerely, JOFSOFT Dev Team

New Contents Update
Hello, I'm Hugo, the director of Rift Sweepers.
We have updated 'badge objectives', added more levels, and improved the 'Corrupted Subway' level.
Badge We've arranged all levels by difficulty. Earn badges to access the next levels. You will need to earn certain badges to be able to host a level. While playing a level, sweepers can still claim the badge even if the level isn't cleared.
Crane levels Added These are simple levels. RSHQ needs special items, such as; the dragon's egg, the guardian's heart and the kitchen facilities of the restaurant Nova. While RSHQ's crane is taking these items, demons will attack this area. Sweepers have to defend these spots.
Corrupted Subway Improved. Due to the previous game rules, it was easy to fail the corrupted subway level. On the other hand, some sweepers had to wait without any demons because they were so skilled at this rift. Now all players can clear this level at a pace that suits them. Drones will increase the power as long as there is enough fuel and it able to be activated again.
thanks for waiting for this update. We hope you enjoy Rift Sweepers.
Thank you.

Update the mission 'Castle and reactor'
Castle and Reactor rift is now available.
Hello sweepers. I'm Hugo, the director of Rift Sweepers.
We are very pleased to keep the promise to update the new level in November. The new level, 'Castle and Reactor', has been updated today.
This level's name was 'Castle and Cage'. While we were working on this level, we got a better idea to appeal to the background setting of Rift Sweepers. As a result, we changed this level's gameplay in order to fit the concept of the game.
In this level, players will solve the problem caused by the plane's crash landing. Because this 23rd century plane crashed in the medieval era, players have to restore the natural order of the medieval time.
