Recursive Ruin

Recursive Ruin — is a visually stunning puzzle in which the artist goes in search of meaning in a recursive fractal world. In Recursive Ruin, you follow the story of an artist who is experiencing a creative crisis that has long since created works that he would be truly pleased with. One day, a mysterious parcel arrives in your house, unfolded by your cat, which says it contains a game that transports you to a surreal dimension, where strange celestial beings and endless recursive landscapes live. This strange world is spoiled by an evil substance known as Ichor, which you can help defeat and restore the fabric of reality. The current version of Recursive Ruin takes about 20 minutes and the project is quite an exciting spectacle.

About This Game

After a short part in the apartment, where you learn more about the life of your character, you find yourself in the Infinite Kingdom, where you learn to manipulate the environment and change the laws of physics to solve puzzles and move forward. The introduction is a bit boring, especially in the section where you need to listen to a fairly long audio recording, but as soon as you start talking to your cat and get into the Infinite Kingdom, everything becomes much more interesting. You learn the intricacies of recursive environments and can manipulate them in original ways to move forward. It’s a bit like Portal, because her world also has its own logic, and you often have to think outside the box to solve its puzzles. This landscape is simply breathtaking. Highly recommended.​​​​
