About Ren's Demons I

You. This is a game about you.

When you clicked play, did you even wonder what it meant?

Did you believe it would only be about saving a dark world from an army of demons?

Did you think about games that blew your mind and pushed beyond the boundaries?

Did you anticipate the powers that you would gain?

Did you assume it was just a game?

--------------------------------

Ren is the Promised Child, chosen by the Goddess to save the world from the forces of darkness. But nobody expected that this quest would transcend the boundaries between universes and bring a new understanding of the fabric of reality itself.

In this experimental philosophical narrative RPG you will find
  • A non-linear universe full of optional content for you to explore
  • A quirky narrative battle system
  • A minimalist atypical colorful art style
  • An entirely original cross-platform game engine built for the project
  • Favorite old school RPG features coming back: walk on the world map, name your characters, and more
  • A procedurally generated world different for every player
  • 15 unique characters to invite to your party, more than 74 monsters to encounter
  • 7 different endings
  • Between 5 and 30 hours of content depending on how exploratory you feel

--------------------------------

Translation
This game engine is written in web technologies. You can launch the game in your own web browser using the index.html file in the game folder. When you do that, you can use your browser translation to play the game in any language. However, the experience will be very impaired (there are wordplays, riddles, and other non translatable quirks...).

Ren's Demons is a great game. Full of sense of wonder and exploration around an intriguing story concept. And then there is the meta game but I wont spoil that. Thanks for supporting SteamOS/Linux! <3

Originally a $3.99 game that went Free. Repetitive music, tedious systems, and lackluster progression. It has an alright narrative not worth pushing through the gameplay to see more of.

An experimental philosophical narrative RPG game that is rich & deep with storyline and unique graphics that make it a one of a kind game. Don't assume that it's just a game.

"Ren's Demons I" is another case of Itch failing in their duty to contain amateur shovelware... this time it's a minimalist pixelcrap "experimental narrative RPG" which is to say it's a high school anime club dropout fan-fiction about how incredibly intellectual the developer is so why won't girls talk to him. Needless to say this was a complete and utter failure, from deplorably bad graphics to nausea inducing writing. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $4 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
