Into the Restless Ruins (PC)
Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder where your cards shape not only your strategy but the world itself. Each card represents a room, corridor, or special feature of a vast labyrinthine ruin. As you build the dungeon, your torchlight fades and the cursed residents stir. You must harvest as much Glimour as possible before the darkness consumes you.
Every decision matters as you balance expansion and survival. Earn the favour of the mysterious Harvest Maiden, trade with strange beings like the Hen Wife and Wulver, and gather Relics that enhance and reshape your deck. Deep within the ruins lies The Warden — an ancient force that awaits those bold enough to descend into the shadows.
Dynamic Deck and Dungeon Building
Each card you play defines the shape and tone of your journey. Place rooms, corridors, and shrines to control your route through the ruins. Upgrade and curate your deck through encounters, offering endless combinations and strategies to explore.
Strategic Room Synergies
Campfires, libraries, portals, and other specialized rooms grant unique effects that can turn the tide of battle. Careful placement can create powerful chains of synergy, allowing you to harvest greater rewards or defend against ever-stronger foes.
Endless Replayability
No two journeys are the same. Each run generates new dungeon layouts, hazards, and enemies, forcing you to adapt your strategy with every attempt. Unlock modifiers that reshape the rules, discover echoes from past adventurers, and expand your card pool with each victory or defeat.
Inspired by Scottish Folklore
The world of Into the Restless Ruins draws from Celtic myth and Scottish folklore. Encounter witches, faeries, and divine spirits tied to the cycles of harvest and decay. For those seeking deeper immersion, the game offers full support for Scottish Gaelic, enriching the world’s atmosphere and authenticity.
Ever-Evolving Challenges
Face shifting dangers as the ruins evolve with every expedition. The deeper you delve, the more the labyrinth reshapes itself. Powerful enemies, enchanted artifacts, and unpredictable twists keep every run both fresh and perilous.
Unearth Hidden Treasures
Discover rare charms, cantrips, and lore fragments that hint at the history of the ruins. Collect weapons imbued with ancient power and shape your fate through choices that echo through the darkness. Every fragment you uncover brings you closer to the truth of the Restless Ruins — and the haunting power that dwells within.
