What is Into the Restless Ruins?

In this roguelike deckbuilder set in ruins inspired by Scottish folklore, you use cards to place rooms and corridors, then navigate the resulting top-down maze while combat plays out automatically. Each run, you collect Glimour from cursed inhabitants before your torch goes out and work toward a confrontation with the Warden.

For you if...

+you enjoy planning routes through dungeons you build
+you like replaying runs to unlock new cards

Not for you if...

−you want an untimed dungeon crawl
−you expect direct control over every attack
