Publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Bit Rot are excited to announce that Recursive Ruin is coming to Windows PC via Steam, GOG and the Epic Games store on Wednesday May 18, 2022!
Recursive Ruin is a kaleidoscopic narrative puzzle game that invites you into an infinitely recursive landscape aptly named the Infinite Worlds. Caught in a mix of existential crisis and environmental puzzles, you have to find your way by bending the world to your advantage. Recursive Ruin delivers a story that takes a deep dive into your psyche to deal with past trauma, grief, and a creative crisis.
The Infinite Realms are filled with strange, snarky denizens, hidden spaces, and mind-bending physics. You have a unique ability allowing you to shift the eternally repeating world inward or outward to your advantage as if you were playing with a kaleidoscope toy. Open up barred paths, overcome plunging depths, and trick motion sensors. In Recursive Ruin, the reality is what you make of it.
Take a glimpse at Recursive Ruin with the new trailer. Players can also get a taste of the adventure in the free demo, which will be live until May 18th.
