Captured by 'The Rune-less', a dark and powerful being, you must take Orillia on her journey to escape imprisonment while struggling to keep her grasp on reality due to a broken and faded memory caused by years of torment and failed escape attempts. To escape this nightmare, you must vanquish rooms of minions, who are only alive to serve the bidding of their master whilst he experiments with different ways to increase his power. Along her journey, Orillia will encounter many obstacles that you, the player, must help her overcome, including mysterious powers and curve balls from The Rune-less that could completely change your approach. In the universe of OutRune, every person is born with a powerful rune encased into an item/artefact that becomes that person's 'AfterFact'. During Orillia's escape, she will find these AfterFacts along the way. She can upgrade her AfterFact and the ones she finds by utilising the machines created by the Rune-less and his following of Greheem tinkerers.
