## Take on extremely difficult and precise, but also rewarding platforming!
The controls are simple and intuitive to learn. You can run, jump, and climb
on the walls and ceiling. You will die A LOT – but guess what? The character
is already dead! So there really aren’t any consequences. Trial and error is
key!
Different orbs will allow the player to use special moves \- enabling a
uniquely challenging platforming experience! Check out the below clip which
uses Dash Orbs to perform the Dash move!
## Explore a hand-crafted, pixel-art world rich with lore!
The Path of Ren is mostly linear in it’s adventure, but is also full of
detours and hidden side-paths in which you can explore a lore-rich world.
Throughout the journey, you can collect pages which piece together parts of
the worlds lore. Can you find every page? Some of them will be pretty tough to
get to!
## Experience a carefully written story, filled with emotion!
The story follows Ren, who wakes up in an unfamiliar world without any
memories.
He soon learns that people end up in this world because they lacked
fulfillment in their lives. Ren sets out into the world to find out why he
ended up there, encountering and learning the stories of other characters
along his journey.
