A downloadable game for Windows

Whose eyes are those?

Ruut'Kith is a dark fantasy RPG with turn-based combat, blending intense battles and eerie horror elements in a haunting, twisted world.

SYNOPSIS:

A small group of adventurers—four distinct characters—sets out on what seems like a simple quest: retrieve a lost statuette for a mysterious, anonymous client. At first, it feels like just another routine job. But deep within the ruins, they stumble upon something far more unsettling.

As strange events begin to unfold, the team must make difficult decisions, face terrifying threats, solve tricky puzzles, and fight to survive. Will they make it out with their minds intact—or will the shadows claim them?

FEATURES:

  • There are 2 endings in the game.
  • Don't worry, there are no random battle encounters in this game.
  • This game uses your Windows username, so if you're streaming it, you might want to avoid using your real name.
  • You can choose the difficulty between Normal mode and Easy mode.
  • All the soundtracks are original and made by me.
  • All the graphic assets were made by me except for some animation sprites.

NOTE:

This game was made for the RPG Maker 2025 Game Jam, with the theme "Beyond Expectations".

This is a short game. You can literally finish it in 45 minutes (in Normal mode) if you're used to playing RPG games with turn-based combat. You don't have to grind too much, but the choice is up to you, the player.
