Reviews

“It has one new idea, and it’s a really good one ... Maybe we’re not done with deckbuilding roguelikes yet.”
Polygon

“I had to tear myself away and I want to play more of it. On the Wishlist it goes.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“I love roguelike deckbuilders, but I’m always on the lookout for a game that takes the genre one step further.”

About This Game

Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder. Use your deck of cards, representing rooms and corridors, to grow the labyrinth of the ruins. Then auto-battle your way through them, harvesting as much Glimour as you can from the cursed residents before darkness overcomes your torch.

Earn favours from the Harvest Maiden, find Relics to trade with the Hen Wife, Wulver and other characters from Scottish folk lore to upgrade and curate your deck, and hope you are strong enough to face The Warden when you can finally reach it.


FULL GAME FEATURES

  • Dynamic Deck and Dungeon Building: Create your dungeon as you play, using a variety of cards to place rooms, corridors, and more. Modify your deck by earning the Maiden’s favour or interacting with characters within the ruins.

  • Strategic Room Synergies: Place rooms like campfires, libraries, and portals strategically to unlock powerful effects and adapt your approach to every challenge.

  • Endless Replayability: Each run offers a new dungeon layout, fresh challenges, and evolving strategies. Unlock rule-changing modifiers, discover hidden echoes, and expand your card pool with every victory.

  • Rooted in Scottish Folklore: Explore a world inspired by Celtic legends, from witches and faeries to the eerie Maiden and her connection to the Harvests, with the option to immerse yourself in the experience by playing in Scottish Gaelic.

  • Evolving Challenges: Confront new dangers with every attempt, from procedurally generated ruins to powerful enemies and artifacts that redefine your strategy.

  • Unlock Hidden Treasures: Discover rare charms, cantrips, weapons, and lore fragments to shape your journey and uncover the secrets of the Restless Ruins.
