The rifts lead to incomplete fragments of the simulation, taking place in Paris of various ages. You'll get access to them at the end of sequences 3, 7, and 11, while you complete server bridges. Rifts occur in groups, two or three for each historical period.

After you enter a rift, you have to:

• Collect a specific number of points. Thanks to this, you will find the imprisoned assassin .
• Free the assassin. Thanks to this, you will attain intelligence data.
• Collect another specified number of points. Thanks to this, you are rewarded with money.
• Ecape through the portal.

All of this has to be done in a limited time. If you run out of time, the simulation will start to collapse. You can escape before you take all the steps, at which point you do not obtain the intelligence data and are rewarded with livres.

The value of the reward depends on the amount of points that you gather. There are two limits: the one required to find the assassin and another one required to obtain a bonus. The more above the second threshold you gather, the more money you obtain. Remember, however, that you need to escape before the simulation collapses, or you do not get your reward.

You earn points for collecting data clusters. Blue are worth 10 points, they are not moving. Orange ones are worth 20 and they move along their paths. Green are worth 50 points, they require standing by them for a while. Some missions include guards, killing them is worth 20 points. Freeing the assassin is required to complete the mission but, for doing so, you are rewarded with several hundred points.

Moreover, some levels have extra requirements. They have been described in maps and secrets chapter. In the entire game, there are 8 rifts, divided into 3 groups available, includng one tutorial rift.

You can explore each one on your own, but you can also follow in the footsteps of the captive assassin. After you appear on a new map, you can sometimes note the phantom assassin. He will take you to where he has been imprisoned, by dropping data packs along his path. Their value drops with time so, it is best to collect them as quickly as possible. You do not need to follow the assassin running, but this guarantees completing the mission in the majrity of cases, with the required amount of points.

In the rifts, there are artifacts. To find them, you first need to sign up with the Novce program and then, unlock them with the companion app. After they are unlocked, they can be collected during the mission.
