About the Game

Build a farm… to save the world.

Runika is a cozy 2D sandbox RPG about farming, exploration and challenging boss battles. Inspired by classic SNES adventures, the spirit of the 90s can be felt in every corner of the world.

Cross the mysterious Rift between worlds, build your own farm and shape the land however you like, free from the pressure of strict day-cycles.

Discover what has awakened deep within the Realm-Between.

Features

  • Create your own cozy farm without the pressure of daily cycles or seasonal deadlines. Grow crops and keep animals in your own enclosures.

  • Shape a fully terraformable world to your liking. Dig irrigation channels for your fields, lay down paths and connect everything with minecart tracks!

  • Experience a “Cozy Soulslike” through challenging but fair boss fights that reward preparation and experimentation.

  • Follow the paths of the Realm-Between and explore ancient ruins to uncover more about the threat emerging from the Rift.

  • Gather resources, unlock recipes and craft hundreds of tools, decorations, meals and other useful items across many different crafting stations and ovens.

  • Fill your home with furniture, carpets and decorations to slowly turn Runika into a place of your own.

  • A modern pixel art adventure inspired by the 16-bit era, filled with small references to classic SNES games.
