Short description
Death brings you to the Ruin: a shifting limbo ruled by hungry Gods. Build your deck, battle their followers, and decide whether to remain pure or wield corrupted power. Carve your path through the darkness and escape—if you can.
About this game
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.

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 c…
