Rauniot 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.

Rauniot 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!

Although Rauniot is shy on its lore and narrative, it still excels at captivating the player with an eerie, haunting world and incredibly tough riddles.

With 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.

Rauniot honestly tries to deliver a grim tale of post-apocalyptic horror, but only partially succeeds, with a series of missteps preventing it from really standing out.

Rauniot is a really good point-and-click adventure with a fantastic story it has to tell. Every aspect of the game exists intentionally to help tell the story at hand. This includes the rich and detailed settings, the excellent sound and voice acting that makes the characters all feel unique and stand out, and the amazing gameplay that allows for adaptation and invention as you explore the harsh world you are thrown into.

Rauniot won't appeal to mainstream point-and-click fans and its grim content places it further into niche territory, but there's still something intriguing about its desolate world... if you can stomach the game's quirks.‍

Rauniot is an odd but interesting concept that can benefit from some more love. While visually the game is pretty and displays a nuclear war-torn world quite well, it does sometimes feel a bit slow and interactions could use less suspense-building pauses in between and more of a snappy delivery, Rauniot is a good game but could use something more to set itself apart.
