Decades after a global collapse, investigate the questionable dealings of a tech company.











Here is an excerpt from From Ruins' description on Steam:
Building upon modern genre staples like The Case Of The Golden Idol and Return Of The Obra Dinn, From Ruins combines true detective gameplay with a gripping story against the backdrop of an atmospheric post-apocalyptic world. A linear singleplayer adventure with multiple endings, From Ruins promises a hand-crafted, deeply immersive experience spanning an evening or two.
Caught in a feud that started decades ago, finding the truth is not just your job – your fate depends on it. The further you delve into the mystery, the more hidden interests are laid bare as friends and foes reveal themselves. Challenging investigation gameplay deeply intertwined with a story full of twists will keep you on your toes until the very end.
From Ruins challenges you to pay close attention to the information you gather from various clues and people, and subsequently draw logical conclusions to answer a host of different questions: Who is who? What does this symbol mean? What happened here? Every correct submission drives your investigation and the story forward. Occasional mini games keep the experience fresh.
You will never be required to ❌ pixel-hunt for clues, ❌ combine items using moon logic, ❌ use quick reactions or any advanced hand-eye coordination.
Unlike the cases you solve, many questions in life don't have a correct answer. From Ruins will confront you with a handful of these truly tough decisions, and there will be no turning back. In the end, it comes down to what you believe: Can humanity be trusted with its greatest achievement, or will it inevitably lead us all into ruins once again?
