About the Game

Runes: Lost In Time is a cinematic action-adventure that blends stealth, exploration, third-person combat and ancient puzzle solving into one cohesive journey inspired by Indian Mythology.

The story follows a lone traveler pulled into a mystery after the discovery of an old manuscript , one that hints at the forgotten kingdoms and a truth that is buried behind centuries of silence. What begins in the familiar chaos of modern India soon spirals into untouched jungles, hidden sanctuaries, and ruins guarded by riddles older than recorded history.

Every step forward uncovers traces of a world that once existed between myth and reality. Carvings whisper forgotten stories, mechanisms built with impossible precision awaken at your touch, throughout the journey, ancient languages, forgotten scripts, and symbolic patterns become key to unlocking secrets, turning every puzzle into a piece of linguistic and cultural discovery, and the deeper you go, the more the line between legend and truth begins to blur.
