About Recursive Ruin
Recursive Ruin is a puzzle game about manipulating an infinitely recursive landscape while working through grief and a creative crisis. With Behemoth, The Cat nearby, you explore your past and search for meaning in a chaotic world.
The Infinite Realms
The game takes place in a dying fractal world where strange physics repeat eternally inward and outward. You explore seven landscapes, uncover hidden spaces and encounter bizarre celestial denizens. Using circular logic and recursive physics, you reshape the environment to solve challenging, self-referential puzzles.
A personal journey
As you progress through a bittersweet story that turns surreal, you use your abilities to shape the world and fight Ichor, a malevolent substance eating away at reality. Solving puzzles and pushing back the Ichor helps balance the chaos of the Infinite Realms as you confront your inner turmoil and seek hope and meaning.
