Key Features

🌿 Survival, Build, Craft

You start wounded and stranded in a dangerous open-world jungle, now warped by a supernatural anomaly. Managing vital resources—hunger, thirst, and health—is key to surviving in this survival horror environment. Scavenge for resources, craft tools, and build a secure base to protect yourself from the many threats lurking in the darkness.

🦌 Wildlife Interaction and Allies

The anomaly has turned once-peaceful animals into unpredictable threats. As you explore the haunting environments of the jungle, you'll need to choose your allies carefully—some animals can become valuable companions, while others, now warped by supernatural forces, may turn on you in an instant.

🏛️ Unravel the Anomaly

Explore the eerie open world of Ruins of the Forgotten, from lush jungles to mysterious ruins, as you piece together the origins of the anomaly. Uncover the dark mystery behind the aggression of even the most peaceful herbivores and the presence of supernatural forces. Collect emeralds known as "Manis," powerful items tied to the anomaly, and use them to unlock hidden truths and advance your journey.

🏞️ Dynamic Jungle Setting

The jungle is a living, breathing character in its own right. Its landscape and day and night cycles are constantly changing, adding to the fear and suspense of your survival journey. Traverse dark, dense forests by day, where survival is a challenge, and prepare for the night, when the real horrors emerge.

⚔️ Varied Enemy Encounters

Prepare for encounters with a variety of enemies, from warped animals to terrifying supernatural beings. The anomaly-driven horror brings a mix of psychological and physical threats, ensuring each encounter is unpredictable. Enemies come with different behaviors, requiring both strategy and courage. Some creatures are territorial, some hunt by night, and others may only be seen in the light of a campfire. The survival horror experience in ROTF forces you to assess each threat carefully, adapting your tactics to stay alive.

Survive, Decide, and Thrive!

Ruins of the Forgotten blends open-world survival and survival horror into an immersive experience where every choice has consequences. Your actions during the day affect the night, and how you interact with the environment, animals, and enemies shapes your survival. Will you brave the jungle and solve the mystery of the anomaly, or will you succumb to the terrors lurking in the dark?
