Overview
RUINED is an exploration-focused RPG that draws inspiration from classic NES adventures. Players awaken each day in a world overrun by monsters. As time passes, the day turns into an unending night, with enemies growing stronger and more numerous. The only way to see the morning again is to return to sleep or meet your demise. However, you are not entirely defenseless. Every defeated enemy drops seeds, allowing you to cultivate your own monster allies. The core gameplay loop involves exploring the world, battling formidable creatures, and recruiting them to fight alongside you against the relentless onslaught.
