Into the Restless Ruins

Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder set in procedurally generated ruins inspired by Scottish folklore. You build a labyrinth from cards representing rooms and corridors, then watch battles unfold automatically as you try to harvest as much Glimour as possible from the cursed residents before darkness overcomes your torch. Your goal is to reach and face The Warden.

Build the labyrinth

Create the dungeon as you play by placing rooms, corridors and other cards. Room placement matters: campfires, libraries and portals can produce powerful synergies. Each run brings a new layout and challenges, calling for different strategies. You can also unlock rule-changing modifiers, discover hidden echoes and expand your card pool with each victory.

Meet its inhabitants

Earn favours from the Harvest Maiden and find Relics to trade with the Hen Wife, Wulver and other characters from Scottish folklore. These interactions let you upgrade and curate your deck. The world draws on Celtic legends, including witches and faeries, as well as the eerie Maiden and her connection to the Harvests; you can also play in Scottish Gaelic.

Discover and adapt

Each attempt brings new dangers, powerful enemies and artifacts that can reshape your strategy. You can find rare charms, cantrips, weapons and lore fragments as you uncover the secrets of the Restless Ruins.
