One of the best but most underrated games ever is now less than $4

It's not often you get a game like Ruiner. Its influences are clear, with heavy dashes of Cyberpunk 2077, Hotline Miami, Deus Ex, and beloved anime movie Akira. But Ruiner is more than the sum of its parts. One of the best indie games of all time, it blends a neon-soaked, dystopian world, brutal twin-stick combat, and a blasting soundtrack to become something entirely unique and wonderful. And now, if you've never tried Ruiner before, you can get it for no more than the cost of lunch.

Amazon sign first-look deal with the company planning Disco Elysium and Life Is Strange shows

Amazon Studios are considering making Prime shows and films based on video games, signing a first-look deal with the production company currently planning adaptations of games including Disco Elysium and Life Is Strange. This will give Amazon the first opportunity to snap up anything DJ2 Entertainment might be making, if they want to. This is not, however, an announcement that Amazon will make these specific shows. These shows still might never get made, by anyone. But maybe it's enough of a step forwards for you to start daydreaming about what such shows could be?

RUINER OST is now separate from the game!

Hello Puppies,

We are back with one of the most frequently requested adjustments to our official soundtrack on Steam! From now on, you can purchase the RUINER OST on Steam independently of the game. It means that our soundtrack is purchasable and downloadable even by users who don't own the base game. To find it, go to your "music" directory inside the Steam client installation folder, rather than into a subdirectory of your main app.

This adjustment is an extra change that was regularly suggested by our community. You can now use Steam Player to listen to your favourite songs from our OST. Here is how it looks:



Enjoy, RUINERS

Happy birthday Puppy! You're two years old now!

Hello Puppies,

Wow, time goes by fast! But, in a cyberpunk future, time can be very relative. It’s pretty hard to believe that Puppy started his journey through the streets of Rengkok over two years ago.

That’s right! Today marks exactly two years since we released Ruiner! And, during these two amazing years, we’ve been continuously working to make Ruiner even better. Additionally, we’ve started development on our new title that we will reveal next year. But, before that happens, we've still got a couple of aces up our sleeve.

To celebrate Ruiner’s second anniversary, we have a little gift for you… a special birthday outfit for Puppy! Download the latest update and celebrate his birthday with some juicy kills while wearing a sweet birthday cake on your head. After all, it’s 2093. It’s called fashion.



All the best, RUINERS
