Power Runes
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Note: The MacOS and Linux builds are untested.
The lands are blessed with runes that can have their power extracted through power stations. Many wonderful machines can be created with the power of the runes. For a long time, the lands were at peace, enjoying the bounty of their plentiful power, but the peace did not last.
For the lands became stranger and stranger, the land seeming to break more and more over time. People began disappearing or suddenly falling down and down. Time was no longer linear, people reliving days of their life over and over. Had the gods abandoned their creations?
You are sick of it. You left home to discover the truth of the situation, finding yourself in puzzling and strange situations, discovering machines seemingly left there by the gods. As you explore, you find yourself closer, yet still so far from the truth. Will you be able to discover what's going on?
