Press release:
Cardiff, Wales — May 15, 2025.
The Penarth-based (Wales) indie games publisher Wales Interactive and Edinburgh-based (Scotland) indie games developer Ant Workshop Ltd , are today very proud and happy to announce that their roguelike deckbuilder “Into the Restless Ruins” is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores.
Into the Restless Ruins blends strategic deckbuilding with dungeon crawling, offering players the ability to create their own dungeon using a deck of cards, then auto-battling through the challenges they’ve constructed. Every card played shapes the dungeon’s layout, adds buffs or curses, and affects the outcome of each run.
Players begin their descent into the ruins in Eorisdale, the game’s introductory level. Here, players construct their first dungeon, encounter a curated selection of cards, enemies, and upgrades, and meet unforgettable NPCs like the Hen Wife and the Wulver, who offer critical boosts and card enhancements. At the end of the level, you’ll face The Grey Man (Am Fear Liath Mòr), a powerful boss drawn from Scottish folklore.
Will you conquer the ruins?
The Ruins have so much for you to explore and discover with 116 cards across 7 categories, 6 distinct ruins, and 62 creatures to face, including 6 bosses inspired by Scottish folklore.
Players will also discover 40 passive charms to shape their strategy, 38 Cantrips to modify gameplay and increase rewards, and 12 weapons to unlock and master. The deeper you go, the more complex the strategy becomes, with new relics, card synergies, and meta-progression unlocking new ways to conquer the ruins.
“We’ve really enjoyed bringing the world of Scottish myth and folklore to life, and it’s been great seeing player reaction to the demo.” said Tony Gowland — Lead Developer and MD of Ant Workshop.
“We can’t wait to see you discover all the secrets, cards, charms, and wee beasties in the full game!”
Into the Restless Ruins is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for £12.99 / $14.99.
