YOU shape the story
Ruin's community is VERY active. DELVE EVENTS run by the author have fan characters voting on expedition actions, suggesting puzzle solves, and much more.
WARNING: Your character may get killed off. Brandon does that, and I've given up trying to stop him... -
Where Fans Become Legends
Fan-made characters don’t just lurk in the margins - they clash, ally, and even fall beside Ruin’s cast. Heroes, martyrs, or legends in the making, their fate becomes canon.
That doesn't mean guarunteed happy endings, of course. It is RUIN, after all. -
Human-Made, for Humans
No AI shortcuts here. Ruin is built by actual humans - writers and illustrators who care about the integrity of what we create.
No-one wants to read souless garbage, and we're committed to making Ruin a bastion of human-ness wherever we can.
