Hello again, Bound Souls! With Devlog #2 talking mostly about the Soul Chain, it's the perfect time to talk about a similarly important part of the game and something that separates it from its Chained very far cousin - Combat! While the basics are just trying to kill enemies wit

Big news, Bound Souls! June 2026's Steam Next Fest is almost here, and months ago I made the ultimate decision to commit Soul Chained to it. Ever since, I've been working around the clock - not because I've gone mad , but because the alternative is admitting how much work I still
