DEATH ENDS THE RUN. NOT YOUR PROGRESS.

Escape Ruin is a dark-fantasy roguelike deckbuilder built around exploration, choice, and long-term progression.

Venture into interconnected Lairs, manage a limited number of Steps, build your deck, pursue quests, and decide how far you are willing to push each expedition.

When the run ends, return to the Hub with Soul Slivers and permanently strengthen yourself for the journeys ahead.

EXPLORE THE RUIN

There is no single path through the Ruin.

Travel across the world and enter sprawling Lairs made of interconnected rooms. Choose your route as you search for enemies, events, shops, places to rest, quests, and secrets hidden deeper within.

But every movement costs Steps.

Push deeper in search of greater opportunities, find ways to extend your expedition, or turn your attention toward the objectives that matter most before your run comes to an end.

GROW STRONGER BETWEEN RUNS

Gold disappears when a run ends.

Your progress does not.

Bring Soul Slivers back to the Hub and invest them into permanent upgrades that reshape future runs.

Upgrade cards at the Forge, and from that point forward, the upgraded versions become the cards you can encounter during your adventures.

Unlock lasting powers that stack with the upgrades you have already earned.

Run by run, the version of Escape Ruin you play changes alongside you.

FIGHT, SNEAK, OR SPEAK

Finding an enemy does not always mean drawing your weapon.

Attempt to sneak past dangerous encounters and continue deeper into the Lair without fighting.

Or greet those you meet.

Some may have nothing to say. Others may reveal interactions, opportunities, or consequences you would never discover with a blade in your hand.

And when words and stealth fail...

Draw your cards.

THE RUIN REMEMBERS

Choices do not always end with the event that created them.

The decisions you make can echo through future encounters. A choice made earlier may unlock an opportunity later, close another path entirely, or cause something within the Ruin to take notice.

You may not always know when a decision will return to haunt—or help—you.

PURSUE QUESTS ACROSS MULTIPLE RUNS

Not every objective can be completed in a single room—or even a single expedition.

Discover quests that take you across different parts of a Lair and continue progressing them across multiple runs.

Some may reveal secrets, introduce new threats, or open paths into previously inaccessible areas of the Ruin.

Death may end your expedition.

It does not erase what you have discovered.

BUILD YOUR DECK

Collect cards and relics as you explore and shape your strategy around what you find.

Spend Gold during a run to expand your arsenal, create synergies, and prepare for the enemies waiting deeper within the Ruin.

Then permanently improve the cards you rely on most and change the possibilities available to you in future runs.

ESCAPE THE FALSE GODS

The Ruin is a place between life and what comes after.

Its realms are ruled by twisted False Gods and the creatures that serve them.

Challenge their followers, hunt the powerful beings standing between you and freedom, uncover the truth of the Ruin...

And become powerful enough to escape it.

Beschreibung nicht jugendfreier Inhalte

Der Entwickler beschreibt die Inhalte wie folgt:

The game contains mild, non-graphic depictions of violence consistent with a dark fantasy setting. Combat encounters may feature small amounts of blood when attacks are made, along with basic death animations where enemies fall or collapse before disappearing.

There are no depictions of sexual content, sexual violence, drug use, self-harm, or extreme gore. Violence is presented in a stylized and restrained manner and serves gameplay and atmosphere rather than shock value.
