The sun set long ago in the world you knew, leaving behind only the ink-stained silence of the discarded. Welcome to the grey between life and loss—a sketchbook of crumbling brick and forgotten dust where the architecture is as hungry as the ghosts. You are a Scavenger, a flickering candle in a forest of grey, rummaging through the ribcages of dead buildings to reclaim the scrap of the past. But beware: every hallway is a throat waiting to swallow you whole, and every shadow has a name. Escape the ruins... or become part of them. THE LOOP: SEARCH. FIGHT. ESCAPE. The rules of the ruin are simple but deadly. Enter the zone, fill your pockets with relic scrap, and find the extraction point before the clock strikes midnight. • Scavenge the Shadows: Rummage through the rot of schools, hospitals, and houses to find the materials you need. • Banish the Residents: Use ancient exorcist tools to fight back the ghouls that haunt the halls. • The Final Run: If you don't reach the exit in time, the ruins will claim you—and everything you’ve gathered—forever. CRAFT YOUR CURSE: Roguelike Combat No two descents into the dark are the same. As you battle through the corridors, the ghosts you defeat grant you flickering memories of power. • Triple-Threat Evolution: Choose between three twisted power-ups in the heat of battle to evolve your survival. • Synergize to Survive: Will you focus on blinding light, serrated steel, or protective charms? Your build is the only thing between you and a permanent stay in the ward. ARSENAL OF THE EXORCIST With over 50 unique Talismanic Tools to collect, your playstyle is yours to define. From rusted ritual blades to spectral lanterns, every tool features a deep Perk Tree. SHELTER OF SCRAP: Camp Operation You aren't the only one trapped in the grey. Deep within the ruins, you’ll find "The Broken"—hostages of the haunts who are waiting for a savior. • Rescue & Rebuild: Bring survivors back to your camp to unlock specialized shops and powerful services. • Management of the Macabre: Your camp is your only sanctuary. Use your extracted loot to fortify your home and prepare for the next night. GAME FEATURES: • Gothic Hand-Drawn Art: A beautiful eerie world inspired by classic lite-horror sketches. • High-Stakes Extraction: The thrill of "Search-Fight-Extract" compressed into bite-sized, casual sessions. • Urban Exploration (Urbex): Explore 8+ distinct environments, from the Hollow High School to the Echoing Offices. • Endless Variety: Dozens of heroes to unbind and hundreds of weapon/perk combinations to master. THE RUINS ARE CALLING. WILL YOU ANSWER, OR WILL YOU FADE?
