Your first mission is to travel to the human world of Rostania and collect “Heart Essence Droplets” to replenish the energy of Ren from collapsing. 🌶️ Spice Level - Low. There is nothing graphic or lewd in the game. Kisses are affectionate and feelings towards each other are wholesome. [h2][u]Settings, Features & Gameplay[/u][/h2] Settings & features include; display options, skip modes, language, text speed, audio controls, voice on or off, and auto speed settings. There are plenty of save slots too. You can go back or rewind parts of the game, skip forward and there is a history log as well. Extras include an unlockable gallery and music tracks. You can hide the hud by pressing H for screencaps. ✨ At first, when you encounter the tutorial at the start of the story, you feel like you're going to need to manage some part of the game, making it sound much more complex. But honestly everything is written into t…

This game sticks to the classic visual novel style, with great visuals that enhance the experience. But what really kept me hooked was the story , it’s the biggest factor for me in this type of game. A strong narrative is what decides whether I keep playing or not, and this one absolutely delivers. The puzzles aren’t too difficult, but they add an interesting twist to the VN without feeling out of place. Overall, great job on making a story that keeps me hooked. It has its flaw tho , the English may have some misspelled but over all I can still enjoy it. Both Thai and Eng translate for me after reading both I feel it's not changed the tone and feel that much. As I heard the developer is just a solo-dev without knowledge of Programming so kudos to that you did real well on your first game with a tight budget and all against all odds you still ship it Congrat! เกมภาพสวย เนื้อเรื่องดีมี Puzzle ให้เลนประปรายเหนือกว่าสิ่งอื่นใดคือชอบเนื้อเรื่อง อ่านแล้วรู้สึกอยากอ่านต่อเรื่อยๆ ราคาไม่แรง เกมอาจจะมีบางส่วนที่เป็น Con คือการสะกดคำในภาษาอังกฤษอยู่บ้าง แต่โดยรวมแล้วอื่นๆทำได้ดีเลย ที่สำคัญที่ได้ยินมา Dev เกมนี้เป็น solo-dev ด้วยเริ่มทำ VN จาก 0 จริงๆ

The novel has it's flaws, especially in the English translation there are errors. Personally I was not the biggest fan of the endings (I loaded saves to get all endings), but I will not go into spoilers here. This novel still absolutely deserves a positive review, there is a lot of potential from the Dev and I am looking forward to new releases from them. The characters had charm, tho the way the game is build up, I feel like "new" characters have less chances to win the readers heart, since they previously went very deep with another, likely already giving their heart away... It would be better to have the character story lines run parralel to each other and not one after another. Once again I am looking forward to new releases from this developer. ^^

[ รีวิวนี้มาจากการเล่นลงกับช่วง Playtesting โดยที่ผมได้เล่นสองบทแรก โดยเกมตัวเต็มจะมีการปรับปรุงด้านเทคนิค ซึ่งจะรีวิวอีกรอบเพิ่มเติมเมื่อเล่นเกมจนจบ แต่โดยรวมคือไปทางชอบครับ ] Tale of REN หนึ่งในเกม Visual Novel ที่มาพร้อมกับพล็อตเรื่องที่เราไม่ได้เห็นนักในเกมวิชวลโนเวลจากไทย กับสไตล์งานภาพที่มีสเน่ห์และเอกลักษณ์ของตัวเอง คือเอาเป็นว่าผมไม่ค่อยเห็นลายเส้นแบบนี้จากเกม VN ไทยเท่าไหร่นัก (จริง ๆ แม้แต่ต่างประเทศก็ด้วย) พร้อมเรื่องราวเปิดตัวที่น่าสนใจ น่าติดตาม และชวนอยากรู้ว่าเรื่องราวทั้งฝั่งของสองโลก และตัวละครทั้งหมดในเกม ทำให้เห็นว่านักพัฒนาใส่ใจเรื่องราว บท และโลกแค่ไหน เรื่องย่อที่ทีมพัฒนาเขียนในหน้า Steam คือส่วนหนึ่งของตัวเกมเท่านั้น ในฐานะที่ผมหลงไหลงานประเภท Fictional World (โลกที่ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเองเพื่อใช้กับสื่อ ๆ ใดโดยเฉพาะ) ก็ต้องบอกว่าเกมนี้ไม่ได้อัด ข้อมูลให้คนเล่นเยอะจนเกินไป แต่ค่อย ๆ หยอดมาให้เรื่อย ๆ ให้ผู้เล่นรู้สึกดื่มด่ำ และชวนตั้งคำถาม เพราะฉะนั้นไม่ต้องกลัวครับว่าเรื่องราวมันจะดูฟุ้งจนเข้าใจได้ยาก เพราะมันเป็นอะไรที่สามัญสำนึกเราเข้าใจได้พอสมควรครับ ผมไม่ขอลงลึกเนื้อเรื่องไรมาก เพราะมันคือส่วนชูโรงของเกมแนวนี้ แต่เอาเป็นว่าคุณจะไม่ผิดหวังกับสองบทแรกของเกมนี้อย่างแน่นอน และถ้าผมมีเวลาเพิ่มเติม ผมจะเคลียร์เกมนี้ให้จบสักวัน

เกม Tale of REN เป็นเกม Visual Novel สัญชาติไทยแท้ ๆ เลยครับ ซึ่งงานภาพ งานออกแบบตัวละครอะไรต่าง ๆ ถือว่าทำออกมาดีมากเลยครับ และเนื้อหาค่อนข้างมีมิติ น่าสนใจ และน่าค้นหาด้วยครับ แถมงานภาพงานลงสีออกมายอดเยี่ยมเลยครับ แถมใช้เวลาเล่นและดื่มด่ำไปกับเกมเต็มที่เลยครับ อาจจะมีคำผิดภาษาไทย อะไรเล็กน้อยบ้าง หรือการสะกดคำภาษาอังกฤษ แต่ก็ไม่ใช่ปัญหาใด ๆ ครับผม เป็นกำลังใจสู้ ๆ ต่อไปนะครับ ช่วงปลายปีใกล้ปีใหม่จะไลฟ์สตรีมนะครับ ^^
