Once upon a time, after the world BURNED

What's Inside →

  • The world ended… and got way cooler.

    Think ancient tech buried in molten sand, sky-cities run on steam, and secrets just begging to be dug up by the brave (or the foolish). The world of Ruin: Awakening is packed with peril, promise, and enough lore to sink an airship.

  • Charming rogues. Terrible life choices.

    Our heroes are charming, chaotic, and one bad decision away from disaster. Whether they’re chasing relics, revenge, or just a stiff drink, they leap off the page with pulp drama and sky-high charisma.

  • Welcome to the Age of Brass Havoc.

    From clockwork monstrosities to steam-powered sky-junkers, the tech in Ruin is loud, lethal, and delightfully unpredictable. From unhinged automatons to duct-taped dirigibles, the only thing more volatile than the tech is the people wielding it.

Adventure Awaits. Engines Ready.

Join the crew. Raise some hell.

Steam, secrets, sky-pirates—Ruin: Awakening is a wild ride through a world on the edge.

Hope is a dangerous thing. Especially here.

Long after the fall of the ancients, Ruin is a wasteland of rusted relics, fractured tribes, and brutal survival. 

At its center stands the Prophetess, a tyrant cloaked in divinity who hoards the Awakened — rare individuals blessed with extraordinary abilities — locking them away in fortified monasteries to fuel her empire.

But rebellion rides in the form of the Liberator, a stolen war rig led by Captain Alia Rychist and her crew of fugitive Awakened. Together, they blaze across the wastes, freeing the imprisoned, igniting resistance, and striking back against the Prophetess’s iron grip.

Ruin: Awakening serves as the gripping prologue and first installment of the Ruin: Rise of the Liberator saga.
