Embark on a chilling 4-player quest as Villagers to complete a ritual or become the nightmarish Monster yourself in this action-packed, free-to-play indie RPG from RunAroundGames. Released in 2020, 7 Bones and 7 Stones - The Ritual challenges players to outsmart each other in tense, early access gameplay.
About this game
7 Bones and 7 Stones - The Ritual is an asymmetrical (4v1) multiplayer game set in an immersive medieval fantasy world, called Vayandor. After 1000 years the Dark Portal has awakened and terrible monsters have been summoned to bring darkness into the realm.
KEY FEATURES
PLAY AS THE POWERFUL MONSTER - Bring terror in Vayandor by playing as unique monsters with incredible powers and diverse gameplay. Monsters have thematic abilities and play similarly to MOBA heroes / champions.
SURVIVE AS THE BRAVE VILLAGER - Completing the ritual is a joint effort and villagers need to work together to even stand a chance against the dark forces that are against them. Manage your villagers to boost their skills or give them enhanced items to surprise the monster with an extraordinary spell, but never forget to help fellow villagers that are in danger.
DIVE IN THE CONSTANT ACTION - Get ready for action packed matches while facing the relentless forces of evil, or playing as them. Feel the danger of hiding from the monster or feel the thrill of chasing a helpless villager. All it takes is a single touch from the monster and villagers turn into acolytes, servants of the dark side and useless team members.
PLAY WITH FRIENDS - Have a great time with your friends as you can hunt each other or survive as a team.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHARACTER - Place a funny banner on the map, or do a silly dance to taunt the monster. From traditional cosmetic items like skins and hats to more wacky items like blowing fireworks and throwing objects, 7 Bones and 7 Stones - The Ritual offers a cool set of collectibles you can use to express yourself in the game.
EQUIP YOUR CHARACTER - Increase your fighting chances by equipping powerful enchanted items that can really turn the tides of the night. The brave villagers cannot fight the Monster but they can use items that give them unique abilities.
IMPROVE YOUR CHARACTER - Invest in your favorite character and help him perform better by boosting his attributes and equipping powerful items. Once you are ready, prestige the character to take on new, harder challenges.
DIVE IN THE IMMERSIVE ATMOSPHERE - Enter a fully fleshed out world and enjoy the gameplay while been surrounded by an immersive fantasy location.
FOLLOW THE ROAD MAP - 7 Bones and 7 Stones - The Ritual has a very solid foundation and has plenty of room to grow, from new unique monsters to new villagers, cosmetics, maps and gameplay mechanics.

Update 0.970 is LIVE!
Aaand the long wait is almost over, hurray!! New year, new update, right? Update 0.970 will bring a lot of changes as many things were improved. You can check below the main changes/features. MAIN FEATURES The connection bug is fixed - players should now be able to connect freely to matches. Of course, this needs confirmation from the community but in theory everything is perfectly OK now. Let’s put this behind us, please. Increased performance - lots of tweaks were made to increase the in game performance. Map overhaul - while working to optimize the map I ended up completely reworking it and now it has a different vibe and layout. I am very happy with this new change from a design perspective. The introduction of Chapters - I have decided that I want to stray away from individual maps and monsters like most multiplayer games handle their design and dive a bit into lore and story arcs to give the game more character and depth. This is why each monster will have 3 maps that each represent a Chapter of their story. The current map is Chapter III of Gormoth’s arc and is called “The Ritual of Gormoth” and in this map we reach the conclusion of this monster with the villagers trying to perform the Ritual to cleanse the land. This means that there will be Chapter I and Chapter II, where we get to play during the awakening and respectively, the dominance of Gormoth. The main idea is that each Chapter has its own rules and atmosphere and is unique. I am VERY excited for this new journey! Key bindings - now players can customize their input. I know this was a very requested feature and I made it a top priority. New villager tutorial - a proper gameplay tutorial has been implemented. Check it out, it’s really cool and it also gives some rewards. It kinda makes me wish I was able to create a single player campaign for the game:D New engine version - this doesn’t do much for players but in terms of game’s structure and performance it’s a big win for me. Bug fixing - lots and l...Read full article on Community Announcements (RunAroundGames)AnnouncementsOfficial
