iDream Interactive Unveils 'Runeborn': A Dark Fantasy Roguelike Deckbuilder at Steam Next Fest

February 6, 2025 Match of 5 Earth Runes

Building upon a decade of experience in crafting engaging slot and puzzle games for the world's largest slot companies, iDream Interactive launches its next venture in the PC game market with the introduction of Runeborn, a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder. This innovative title is set to debut at Steam Next Fest, offering players a unique blend of deckbuilding and slot-machine-like mechanics. This marks a major milestone for the studio as it ventures into the roguelike gaming space.

A dark fantasy adventure like no other

Runeborn invites players to craft a unique runebook, manipulate magical runes, and unleash devastating damage in their quest to cleanse a corrupted world. The game combines deckbuilding with a deconstructed slot-machine-inspired mechanic, offering players unparalleled control over their strategy. With over 150 Trinkets, Scrolls, Gems, Amulets, and Auras to collect and synergize, no two runs will ever feel the same. The game's dark, grungy comic book art style has already garnered significant attention among early testers.

Founder's Vision

“Runeborn is an ode to the last 10 years we've spent developing free-to-play slots and puzzle games”

said Jacob Duhaime, founder and CEO of iDream Interactive.

“We set out to break the traditional slots mold and create a game that combines the thrill of deckbuilding with skill-based gameplay. Runeborn gives players control over the randomness—a concept inspired by the likes of Balatro and Luck Be a Landlord. This game is the culmination of years of iteration and passion, and we're beyond excited to share it with the world.”
