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 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.

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! <33 found this helpful

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.1 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful

"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…
