Rin: The Last Child

Rin: The Last Child follows RIN, the sixth and last child of the Creator, on a journey to restore order in a mystical world. You explore, collect magical aspects and runes, craft spells, and face five bosses: RIN’s transformed, previously unknown siblings. Choices shape the story and lead to different possible endings.

Story and themes

The story of RIN, her siblings and their Creator, the Teller of Tales, draws on the ancient myth of Cronus and his conflict with his children. It also explores the passing of gods who must be replaced by new ones. In a dark fairy-tale world without humans, magic is central to the creation myths. The story also examines obedience to authority, represented by the Creator, against freedom and responsibility for one’s own choices.

Crafting spells

The game has 18 elemental spells: 10 attack spells, 5 defensive spells and 3 utility spells. You assemble them from five Aspects of Magic and Spell Patterns, then use currency and Lesser Runes to add damage or Great Runes and upgrades to change their effects. You can equip three spells in a quick slot and quickly switch to another spell set. As you progress, you can disassemble spells and reuse their aspect components. Combining Lesser Runes, Great Runes and upgrades allows for as many as 7,776 spell variants.

Creatures and bosses

You fight small creatures formed from their surroundings, including Slimes and Mosquitoes, as well as larger beasts such as Rats and Spitting Plants. The main battles require a well-chosen set of spells and skills, along with decisions guided by your will. Your five boss opponents are RIN’s siblings.
