THEME

"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?

• (ESC Key) to toggle Menu, (Arrow Keys) change selection, (Enter Key) to Select (Will be Changed in Future Update)
