"Nothing can go wrong



🕯️ Enter the Ritual… If You Dare 🕯️

The candles are lit, the runes are drawn, and the ritual is in motion. In Runes of the Unbidden, you take on the role of an occultist attempting to complete a dark summoning. The forces beyond the veil are watching, but make one mistake... and the consequences will be dire.

Each round, you must uncover and input the correct rune sequence before your candles burn out. Sacrifices grant power, but every boon comes with a curse. The longer you survive, the deeper you descend into madness.

How far will you go before the ritual consumes you?


🔥 How to Play 🔥

  • Click the correct sequence of runes each round.
  • Each mistake blows out a candle. If all go out, the ritual fails.
  • Every 3 rounds, the ritual grows more complex, adding more runes.
  • Choose wisely—sacrifices grant power but also impose a curse.
  • Survive as long as possible to witness the final summoning.

✨ Features ✨

  •  Dynamic Ritual System – Candles flicker, shadows move, and the summoning grows stronger.
  •  Rune Puzzles – Every round presents a new sequence to decipher.
  • Sacrifices & Curses – Choose powerful boons, but at what cost?
  • Horror Atmosphere– Dark pixel art with an eerie, looming presence.
  • Immersive Audio – Haunting music and unsettling sounds enhance the ritual.
