Ruin Explorer is a solo journaling RPG that uses only Tarot cards. It offers an engaging life story for the player to create about themselves, inspired by contemplative movies and challenges presented through prompts on ruins or introspective moments with minor arcana representing lessons learned in- game while drawing Major Arcana from their deck of 78 cards at random. The game can be played dozens times without repeating a similar storyline due to its open setting possibilities that include various themes such as landscapes, settings, characters' personalities and even audio logs for the player's personal voice recording preferences; it is an hour or so per chapter with self-contained chapters available in one playthrough but slow down speed of resolution can be adjusted by playstyle.
