Lost Ruins
Description
Lost Ruins is a 2D side-scrolling survival action game, where you play as a young girl that has awoken in a strange and foreign place without her memories. Explore a dark and dangerous world, battle hideous monsters, and topple incredible bosses.
A young girl wakes up in a dimly lit dungeon without any of her memories. Surrounded by horrible, bloodthirsty monsters, she is rescued by a mysterious magician, Beatrice. With Beatrice’s help, the girl goes on a perilous journey to find answers and unlock the secrets of the Lost Ruins.
Engage in Combat
Combat in Lost Ruins is in real time, and can be both fast and methodical. Slash away at enemies, burn them to a crisp, or even deflect their projectiles back at them. Arm yourself with a variety of swords, axes and other assorted medieval weaponry, and hack monsters to pieces.
Master Spells
For those with an affinity for magic, Lost Ruins allows you to cast a variety of spells through wands, tonics, and scrolls. Burn monsters, freeze bosses, and heal yourself when in danger. Choose what works for your playstyle and make a magic casting character that’s totally your own.
Choose Accessories
The world of Lost Ruins is a dangerous one and being armed to the teeth with awesome weaponry is sometimes not enough. That’s where accessories come in. Accessories are unique pieces of equipment with all manner of effects. One accessory might protect you against fire, while another might heal you when you’re poisoned. The right combination of accessories can create different strategic options for your adventure.
Use the Environment
As you explore the depths of Lost Ruin’s dimly lit dungeons, you will find that while everything around you might bring about your death, you can also use the environment around you to your advantage. Elements within the world will react with other elements realistically. Flammable liquids will be set ablaze when in contact with lit lanterns. Ice magic will freeze bodies of water, making them dangerously cold. The more you understand the environment and how to use it to your advantage, the more dangerous you will become.
Main Character
A young school girl who wakes up in a dangerous underground maze with no memory of her past. Desperate to find answers to who she is and how she ended up in this place, she begins exploring the ruins.
Beatrice
A mysterious woman with incredible magical ability, Beatrice acts as the main character's guide through the lost ruins. She seems to be hiding something, however.
Goblin Merchant
This helpful little guy works for Beatrice, and appears throughout the game to assist the main character.
Sora & Mingie
These two girls aren't just zombies, they're also big fans of pop music idols, evidenced by the glow sticks they carry wherever they go.

Yet another forgettable 2D platformer
This is truly a product of its time. A worse time back when hacks kept flooding the market with half assed 2D platformer ideas like this and were more concerned with drawing 8K resolution anime tiddies than making a playable video game. Avoid anything that has to do with japanese high school when it comes to anime games. It will always be overhyped trash sometimes whispered about by coomers like this game.

Buggy under linux.
I really like the game. Graphics, gameplay, style... But... Under linux is a roulette. You are happy doing whatever a school girl with a long sword can do, and the game crashes. Crashes... And do a blank screen on your frozen computer. Testing under Wayland and Xorg, at fullscreen and window. First game where i see that, so at the end you are forced to do a REISUB to close ALL. Not recomended. Sad, because the game can be really good. PD: Sorry for my english, is not my natural language.

Opening a SINGLE treasure chest ruins it
You have to talk with other gamers to learn that you get locked out of the best ending upon opening any one of numerous treasure chests scattered throughout the dungeon. What kind of horrible design decision is that? There IS a character who you meet who assigns you the ascetic achievement of not opening any "golden chests," but the treasure chests throughout the environment look cream-colored, not golden at all, and there is no indication that upholding this achievement should be done by anyone other than veteran players just looking for an optional challenge. Whoever decided that this parody of a quest should actually play a crucial role in the story should have been fired, especially given how the chests bear game-changing items like a tool that grants passive MP regen while equipped, a poisoned dagger, and an HP vampirism spell. Other than that, the art is decent, although the idle animation of the protagonist looks awkward, if its silky smoothness wasn't so fascinating. The music and sounds are fine. I do like how there are zero experience points and that everything is based on equipment. It surprised me how much the game is focused on status effects; for example, there's a literal Toilet Paper item whose sole purpose is to wipe yourself of oil and water. If you're about to face a fire-element enemy, then you want to be wet, but not in a situation involving electricity. As a result, there's a lot of menu-paging to go through your consumables per encounter; melee is tricky with slow, un-cancel-able swings/stabs, but item drops are generous, so the game teaches you to not be stingy with what you've got. While the save points don't recover your HP/MP, some non-chest items also do provide HP regen, though one requires you to be wet. Sadly, the game is ruined by teenage-level writing. The Heroine's only trait is gullibility, some characters are overly and needlessly sadistic, and the plot is nonsensical, if not entirely trope-derived. I'd just watch it on YT.
