“Into the Restless Ruins delivers a distinctive gameplay experience, letting players construct their own dungeon using a deck of cards that represent rooms, corridors, and unique features,” said Ant Workshop managing director Tony Gowland in a press release. “This blend of deckbuilding and dungeon creation offers a fresh strategic challenge, and we’re excited for players across all platforms to dive into the depth and creativity it brings to every run.”
Wales Interactive co-founder David Banner added, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Ant Workshop, a studio whose creative vision and dedication to storytelling shine.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Scottish legend tells that those whose hearts desire can’t be met by earthly means should seek the Harvest Maiden. In return for their toil she will satisfy their craving.
After years chasing rumors and false leads you found the ruin entrance, and the maiden appeared to you. Finally, your wish…
Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder. Use your deck of cards, representing rooms and corridors, to grow the labyrinth of the ruins. Then auto-battle your way through them, harvesting as much Glimour as you can from the cursed residents before darkness overcomes your torch.
Earn favors from the Harvest Maiden, find Relics to trade with the Hen Wife, Wulver and other characters from Scottish folk lore to upgrade and curate your deck, and hope you are strong enough to face The Warden when you can finally reach it.
Key Features
- Dynamic Deck and Dungeon Building – Discover a large variety of rooms and corridors, and work out the best ways to use them to beat the ruins. Earn favors with The Maiden to be blessed with new cards, and interact with characters you find in the ruins to modify your deck further.
- Discover Room Synergies – Rooms aren’t just big square corridors, they have uses. Think hard about where you place campfires, armories, portals, graveyards, libraries, and dozens more, as each will change your approach to the harvest.
- Huge Replayability – Because you’re building the ruins, each run is unique with a different layout, new challenges to overcome, and new shortcuts to use. Discover ghostly echoes trapped in the ruins and decide their fate, be blessed with dozens of passive Charms, and discover new weaponry. And after you’ve defeated The Warden once, try again with new rule-changing modifiers, in new level layouts, and unlock new cards to your drop pool.
- Uncover a unique world of Scottish folklore, legends and creatures.
