Rauniot is an isometric post-apocalyptic point and click adventure game which takes place in Northern Finland.
About the story
In the year 1975 a massive natural disaster pushed the civilization over the edge. Riots, massive conflicts and wars occurred. Homo homini lupus. Main continents were drowned by seas. Heavy amounts of pollution spread around from collapsed nuclear power plants and -warheads. Not many survived from those deadly times. Children born mutated or dead taking their mothers with them. Fathers walking alone in bitterness and sorrow driven to cannibalism as food resources slowly ran out. In this sad new world nature and man are trying to survive and find balance. Still some individuals manage to trust one another just enough to establish groups providing protection, food, clean water, medicine, electricity and knowledge for better life. Aino is one of those lucky ones to be part of a group. But it can be one hard job in this world. Giving everything you’ve got in dangerous journeys and tasks prevents one to be isolated.

Critic Reviews
Niche Gamer
By Fingal BelmontRauniot is also a short game. As far as point-and-click adventure games go, the length is brief even for the genre. Even when getting stuck a few times, I was able to negotiate this game in about five hours. For its price, Rauniot can feel a bit too lean, especially since the climax feels rushed and replay value is low. This is also not a fast-paced game, so the whiplash from the ending compounds on the brevity.
GameGrin
By Martin HeathRauniot is a short but tense puzzle adventure with a great mix of charm and unease. While the language barrier may affect your experience, the short length and interesting puzzles are worth having a look at. Doubly so if you speak the language. TORILLE!
VGChartz
By Thomas FroehlicherAlthough Rauniot is shy on its lore and narrative, it still excels at captivating the player with an eerie, haunting world and incredibly tough riddles.
AnaitGames
By Víctor Manuel Martínez GarcíaWith a glacial pace, a hostile world and admirable parsimony, Act Normal Games' (failed) graphic adventure knows how to make a place for itself in the memory.
MKAU Gaming
By MKAU GamingThe game’s structure subtly guides players towards each objective, restricting exploration outside designated areas per scene. This limitation can feel restrictive, especially as movement requires navigating the mouse to the screen’s edge rather than utilising keyboard arrows, which some players may find less intuitive. On a brighter note, the puzzles within each scene offer a refreshing dose of flexibility and challenge.
