The sun shines high in the sky. You arrive at a ruin in the desert, with only the vague promise of a priceless historical artefact hidden inside. Before you reach it, many dangers must be overcome. Can you find a path through this abandoned structure without losing your head?
The Ruin Wanderer is a small episodic homage to the classic female archeologist simulators from the 90's. It focuses on exploration and light puzzle solving in beautifully desolate environments. Above all else, it is about atmosphere; just you, the silent ruins of a long gone civilization, and here and there a swinging blade or spike pit to watch out for.

A short, but fun exploration and traversal based love letter to everyone's favorite British raider of tombs. Really atmospheric, and I loved the addition of secrets.
Neat little game. I have a lot of nostalgia for this genre, and the implementation here is pretty good. Pushes all the right buttons. This game also properly supports Dualshock 4 controller with no fiddling around and that's very nice.
Not much to see here folks, just another cheap & short indie banger from #1 sexy Dutchman Hedgefield.
A fun little excursion into an ancient tomb with a familiar protagonist! It's got a solid adventure atmosphere, nice level design, and is surprisingly polished for the small scope. Looking forward to the next romp!
