Ring of Change is an adult visual novel by Zara Mystique, built in Ren'Py with 3D CG and AI CG art. You play Kael, a swordsman who loses everything after killing the wrong man. Survival forces him to use an ancient ring that changes his body into a woman’s form, letting him pass as a stranger in a fantasy city. The game centers on fantasy, transformation, and a trans protagonist.
The current build is v0.2, released on August 28, 2026, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The latest update, The Mirror, covers the aftermath of the transformation. It shows Celia adjusting to a new body, Seren's reaction, a walk to Thornwall, a street encounter, and a meeting with Orlaith at the Velvet Lantern. It also adds mirror and solo exploration scenes, plus two player choices.
Developer's description
Kael had a sword, a girl, and a cocky grin. Then he killed the wrong man and lost everything. To survive, he puts on an ancient ring that reshapes his body into a woman's. Every bone. Every nerve. Every inch. The disguise is perfect. The guards who want Kael dead let the beautiful stranger walk right through the gates.
It was supposed to last a few days. The few days become more.

It was not bad until the moment, when the mc who was planning a theft with his girlfriend (both experienced in combat) started acting like retarded little bitch in the middle of crime... As story goes - it tries hard…
