TFR Content Update - June 2021

Jun 19, 2021

The fourth content update has finally arrived! V1.7.0 offers a complete overhaul and re-design of the sound within The Forsaken Ruins, along with updates to existing UI, bug fixes, and added optimization. Players can now expect to feel fully immersed as they attempt to uncover the dark secrets of Ever-Bleed Keep. Furthermore, I have attempted to keep things clean and simple (UI-wise) in the hope that players find the new screens more appealing and easier to navigate.

If you happen to chance upon any bugs within the game or, even have suggestions of your own, please don't hesitate to get in contact with me via the Steam or Tumblr page.

Thank you for your patience, once again! - Please note, I am currently working on other projects, so the time between updates may be longer than usual. Having said that, I still remain motivated on delivering the fifth, and final update to The Forsaken Ruins - Early Access Version. Cheers! ːsteammockingː

The Forsaken Ruins

Cannot play

Hey, me again, Its been a while, but i saw some content updates and decided to see the improvements for myself but, I can't. Every time the game opens it opens on an automatic ''are you sure'' screen which is for the exit of the game. The problem comes from the fact I can hit yes, but i can't hit no so i cannot enter into the games menu at all....

One-Year Anniversary!

May 25, 2021

Once again, thank you for downloading and supporting the game! I can't believe it's almost been a year since I published my first ever game on Steam. I believe I have become a better developer since then and I hope you can continue to enjoy the updates I provide (even if they include the occasional bug!). I still remain motivated to continue development on The Forsaken Ruins with the hope I can look back on a well-rounded, story-driven, horror title.

To celebrate 'The Forsaken Ruins: Early Access Edition' one year anniversary, I will be placing a 33% discount on the game, running from May 27th to June 1st!

Cheers again for the reviews, comments, and downloads! I take every opinion/suggestion into account as I want players to feel satisfied when they make a purchase. Be sure to check out my YouTube and Tumblr accounts for more information on upcoming updates. 😎

P.S - The Sound/UI Update (V1.7.0) will be arriving very soon, sorry for the delay! ːsteamfacepalmː

Bug hunt

So, I find that your Warden doesn't fit through doors, Is this intentional? Purely asking since he can be a little slow in his reactions for the size of the room he's in :) https://imgur.com/a/v7hEdja Also with regards to my note of the Out of Bounds in my review comment: https://imgur.com/a/9aAuHZe Hope this helps! :)...

Good luck

Good luck on your university project! One question: will the price rise as you add more content? $2.99 is really cheap. I bought mine today.
