About Return to Ringworld

Return to Ringworld is a point and click adventure game that serves as a sequel to Ringworld: Revenge of the Patriarch. Its narrative and setting are derived from Larry Niven's Known Space novels.

The player controls a party of three characters who are fugitives, pursued by multiple species. They seek refuge on the Ringworld, aiming to find proof of their innocence, but instead encounter a larger threat. A U.N. general plans to seize control of the universe by exploiting the Ringworld's secrets, and the player must thwart this scheme.

This installment expands significantly on the first game's scope, featuring a much larger environment with hundreds of distinct screens and maze-like areas to navigate. The core gameplay involves solving puzzles across this expansive setting.
