Dana's Cradle
Hello and welcome to Dana's Cradle, a fansite dedicated to Tales of the Rays! This site is currently a work in progress, so resources may be incomplete and pages may be missing.
Tales of the Rays was a crossover entry in the Tales of series. The game was launched on smart phones in March 2017, and after 2,703 days of operation, it was announced the game would end live service in July 2024.
Against all odds, Rays captured my heart with its story. This site is dedicated to preserving and honoring this silly little gacha game I ended up loving so much, and, hopefully, allowing people who never played the game while it was live to understand why I loved it.
To that end, my most important goal is to provide the options available for experiencing the story now that the game has ended live service. ...But I also want to just talk about why I love this game, too!!
Site News
Hello, I'm not dead! I have finally finished moving over my masterlist to the site! D-C now has it's own domain and hosting as well! (...the latter is shared with my personal site, actually, but shh, details, details.) As a bandaid fix for a problem I realized existed that I'm unsure anyone ever encountered, your window being too short will switch you to the mobile layout so the menu doesn't get cut off. Front page news older than a year is now in the news archive page.
2025-07-21Updated skits. This time in a more timely manner than (checks notes) 4 months.
Thank you to everyone in the community who made fan translations, wrote summaries, cracked open the game or even indirectly helped me learn reverse engineering skills, helped with archival work, or anything else that made this website possible or otherwise aided the fandom as a whole.
