Ruina Winter Sale + Development Roadmap

Ruina is currently 15% off as part of the Steam Winter Sale, and I wanted to take a moment to share what’s coming next.

The launch has been incredibly encouraging so far — thank you to everyone who’s played, left feedback, or picked up the game. Development is very much continuing, and I have several updates planned over the next few months.

Coming Very Soon — Challenge Mode (by end of December)

Before the end of the year, I’m adding a brand new Challenge Mode, featuring:

  • 25 handcrafted challenges

  • Fixed “set-piece” gem boards

  • Limited moves, no shuffles

  • Clear score targets to hit

This mode is designed to be more puzzle-focused and to test mastery of Ruina’s systems in a tighter, more deliberate format. My goal is to release more of these each week so stay tuned for additional puzzles!

January Content Update

In January, Ruina will receive a larger content drop, including:

  • 25 new scrolls

  • 2 new bags

  • 2 new boons

This update focuses on expanding build variety, synergies, and long-term replayability.

March Content Patch

Looking a bit further ahead, I’m planning another content update in March that will include:

  • Additional new scrolls

  • A brand-new gameplay mechanic (details coming later 👀)

This update will meaningfully expand how runs can play out, and I’m excited to share more once it’s ready.

Thanks for Playing

If you’ve been enjoying Ruina, thank you for supporting the game — and if you’re checking it out during the Winter Sale, I hope you enjoy your time with it.

As always, feedback is welcome and genuinely helps shape future updates.
