Alone Amongst the Ruins is a hack of Takuma Okada's Alone Among the Stars. In it, you wake up to find an empty and deserted world. You set out to explore the ruins of civilisation, trying to piece together what happened from what you can find.

A standard deck of 52 cards and a six-sided die are used for your explorations. You can make a journal of what you find along the way. If you want, you can keep the journal. If it makes you feel melancholy, you can destroy it.

You have awoken to a desolate city. Explore it to survive and perhaps you may find out what has happened.

First you roll 1d6 to see how many explorable areas are in a section, then for each section you draw one card to see what you find. You roll 1d6 to determine how you found it, such as while you were resting or while you were exploring.

Then you use the suit of the card to determine what sort of component you found, like supplies or even a clue. Then you use the rank of the card to determine where you find it, such as a parking lot or government building. 

 I wasn't able to find out too much of what had happened except there were the mysterious "Others".  You can read my playthrough HERE
