The Path of Ren is a challenging precision platformer with tight, expressive controls. Run, jump, climb, swing, and master orb abilities to conquer 300+ unique challenges!

Collecting an orb lets you use that ability a single time with the press or hold of a button. Collect Journal Entries Collect thought-provoking journal entries scattered throughout the world.

Other Considerations / Checklist In addition to playing the demo, here's a short checklist to help you determine if this game fits your taste. This game isn't for everyone, and as such, we want to do our best to ensure you understand what you're buying. If you answer YES to most of the below, we believe you'll enjoy The Path of Ren. Do you enjoy games where you die a lot , learn from those deaths, and eventually prevail? (Souls-like, etc..) Have you played and enjoyed other popular precision platformers? (Celeste, Super Meat Boy, Rayman, etc..) Do you enjoy single-player games created by a single person / small team? Do you enjoy exploring hand-crafted, pixel art environments? Do you like music that's designed to help you focus? (Lo-Fi, etc..) Thank you so much! Precision platformer games have always held a special place in my heart, so it’s an incredible honor to contribute to a genre I love through this project. As a solo-developer, all of the support I've received throughout the journey of creating this has meant a lot. Whether you’ve followed the game’s development, helped shape it through testing, or are just now diving in, I’m deeply grateful. Thank you so much! 💙
