Path to Ruin

About the Game

From Gulag To Glory!

Sub-human inmates Mallet and Barrow are about to unwittingly embark on an adventure that will lead them out of the gulag and into the wide-open world that they know absolutely nothing about! Help guide them through unknown territories as they battle ferocious blood-thirsty monsters, meet new friends, explore abandoned ruins, and gain assistance from the gods themselves!
