Tears Apart

Tears Apart follows Vane as she tries to get home through the Decay. You fight using five consecutive dash attacks called Tears: strike enemies, evade their attacks and reposition, then reload the cycle after using all five. Your upgrades shape what each Tear can do, while timing and positioning determine how much damage you can deal safely.

Build your combat cycle

You can upgrade your Tears, your cast or Vane herself, each of which has its own pool of upgrades. You cannot get everything you want, so choose what your build needs and combine effects. Upgrades can be assigned to individual Tears and rearranged, letting you shape and master your attack cycle.

Combine weapons and casts

Choose a weapon and pair it with a cast before equipping upgrades. Weapons change the reach and rhythm of your Tears, while casts bring their own abilities and upgrades. You switch weapons between runs, which can give familiar upgrades a different role.

Face changing challenges

As Vane’s story unfolds, new Acts introduce changing challenges. Bosses test your build: learn their attacks, find openings and make each cycle count. Falling and returning lets you unlock permanent upgrades and new options for your next attempt.

Meet the residents

Some of the beings in this fading realm do not want Vane gone. Its residents have their own troubles, convictions and ideas about what is best for her; some want to talk or help, while others offer questionable advice or try to put her back to sleep. The story is presented as a cosmic fairy tale.
