The Legend of Ruby 

The ruby of all power; the most powerful artefact in the land. Some say its pure power can level towns, that its concentrated rays can eviscerate dragons in a fraction of a second, and that it is the key to beating this game.

Player-characters from across the server have descended on your dungeon to claim the ruby of all power as their own, for it can be used to craft some sweet loot.

You are the fairy inside that ruby. To you, this ruby is your home, but to all those so called "players" out there, it is the promise of riches. Their greed compels them to chase your ruby at all costs.

Your goal is to traverse the dungeon, avoid the players that are looking to claim you as their own and find a way to escape.

Good luck, fair traveller!

Made for the 2023 GMTK Game Jam. The theme was "Roles Reversed".

Awsome game! It took me a while to explore the whole map, but I like challenges. I mean this concept is not new, but it makes really fun.

Extremely clever idea! Had strong vibes of the original MSX Metal Gear with the stealth mechanics but recontextualised. Would be incredibly interested in seeing this fleshed out even further
