Ruina: Fairy Tale of the Forgotten Ruins is a free-to-play Japanese game made with the RPG Maker 2000 engine, originally released on December 24th, 2008 by Shoukichi Karekusa (枯草章吉). It won the Grand Prize in Freem!’s 4th Annual Game Contest.

This version is based on the English fan-translation version 1.3 of the game.
Many things are not like the original as we are limited by the GBC engine and also this is only my second GB Studio game so I'm still learning how to develop.

I'm not sure if I am going to be as faithful as possible to the original or spin this off into its own direction. A handful of scenes have been implemented and some functions exist like purchasing some select few items or leveling up for example, lots of work is still left to be done; mainly the cave levels and further improvement of the combat system and narrative scripting.

Please let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts.
