About

Pocket Runes started as a group chat where a handful of us kept swapping screenshots and arguing about which mobile game deserved another hour. Eventually we figured we might as well write it all down properly, so here we are.,Everything on this site comes from actual playtime. We don't repost press blurbs. If a game gets a guide, it means someone on the team sat through the early grind, hit the walls, and figured out the shortcuts worth sharing.,We pick games across genres on purpose. Some weeks it's a slow strategy builder, other weeks it's a twitchy arcade racer. The only rule is that it has to be something we'd genuinely keep on our phones.,We're a small, independent team. Nobody pays us to like a game, and if something disappoints us we say so. That's the whole point.
