TGIF - Linux version is now live!

Penguins and Puppies rejoice for RUINER Linux Beta is here!

Just switch to the “Linux” branch and download the game. Easy!
(Hard? Navigate to the game’s Properties -> Betas and choose the relevant branch.)
We’ve hidden a cosmetic feature in the game for you, so keep looking for the tiniest easter egg ever.

There’s a sliiight chance you may experience performance issues. If you do, please install proprietary video drivers (NVIDIA, Radeon) or Mesa.
In case of video-related issues, install VLC 3 and its dependencies.
Also, make sure that all your drivers are proprietary and up to date.


Now, if you prefer gamepads over keyboard and mouse, you’ll need ds4drv for Dualshock or xboxdrv for Xbox controllers. Get those!

It should be all sunshine and rainbows from here. But - if you encounter any bugs, crashes or anything else wrong with the game, please add a new thread on the RUINER Steam forum or email us directly at [email protected] (please, write “[Linux]” at the beginning of the title).


And now check if you got to the lucky 13!
RUINER Steam keys go to:

  • 1. Unshra
  • 2. ♤ Evo
  • 3. YouTube.GTuxTV
  • 4. NoXPhasma

RUINER Linux beta is coming - this Friday! Yay!

Dear Linux Puppies,

You’ve been very vocal about your desire to play the game on your platform. On your terms. Now we finally deliver on our promise. Starting with the beta.

It’s not yet super stable and bug-free, but we’ve fixed major blockers and issues and you should be able to play RUINER on Ubuntu 16.04, Linux Mint 18.3, Debian 9, Fedora 27 and SteamOS. Other versions have not been tested. We’re still polishing it, so we’ll dearly appreciate any feedback.


To access the build on Friday, simply click RMB on RUINER in your Steam Library, navigate to Properties -> Betas and choose Linux from the drop-down list.

If you experience any video-related issues, please install VLC and its dependencies. Also, make sure that your drivers are proprietary and up to date.

We’ll be looking forward to all your comments, screenshots, crash logs, etc. at [email protected] (please, write “[Linux]” at the beginning of the title) or under new threads on Steam’s RUINER forum.

Please know that we’re eternally grateful for your patience and understanding. That’s why we prepared a bunch of RUINER keys, as a token of our gratitude. If you’d like to be one of the first lucky 13 to experience RUINER on Linux, raise your hand in the comments and shout and Dispatcher will deliver.

Annihilation Patch is here!

Puppy may not speak much, but he knows his Master’s voice.

Thanks to our awesome community, with the Annihilation Update you may play RUINER in Czech and Ukrainian. Today’s update builds on this achievement and brings further localization fixes. Both languages have been thoroughly polished - pun intended! But if you still find anything wrong - don’t worry and keep playing!

A big round of applause to:

- Jakub Kolarik and Jonas Kolarik for Czech localisation.

- SBT Localization team: Rostyslav Sulima, Oleksii Ivanov, Oleksandr Lukianov, Olha Kmelnytska, Oleksandr Moskalenko, Yurii Bisyk, Tetiana Cherednychok, Violetta Kozakova, Sofiia Shul for Ukrainian localisation.

To those of you who couldn’t switch off Halloween Mod: we removed it entirely, and now only Winter Mod is included in the game so there should be no more weird conflicts.

Take care, RUINERS
