Today, we will lift the veil of secrecy and reveal what awaits you in the mysterious and mystical world of The Soul. In our project, which we are doing in collaboration with Red Star Games.
The Soul is a story-driven third-person action/horror game that explores the concept of the human soul.
A little about the plot (no spoilers)
The game world is an alternative version of our modern world, where monsters live and hide among humans.
You will play as a Guardian named Max Soul, who has been saving people and exterminating monsters for many years.
It is no coincidence that we mentioned that our project focuses on the storyline. We put our heart and soul into the script for The Soul. We want you to love the characters as much as we did while creating the game.
Cinematography and Cut Scenes
They are a key feature of the project. We want you to immerse yourself in the story as much as possible and, while playing, find yourself thinking that you are watching a thrilling thriller. We spend a lot of time working on animations, as storytelling is a very important part of our project. Cinematic cutscenes are the first thing you will encounter in The Soul.
Voice control
This mechanic will allow you to participate in the story not only indirectly, by controlling the main character, but also personally, by speaking lines that Max Soul will have to repeat to his interlocutor into the microphone. The dialogues will not only reveal the plot, but also be part of the investigation.
Investigation and research
Each chapter of The Soul is a short detective story. You need to find clues that will help you identify the monster so that you can then eliminate it. Once you have found all the clues, you can piece them together using Max Soul's diary.
Max's diary and monster identification
These are two interconnected mechanics. Max's diary will contain all the information you need to compare clues. Your task is to draw the right conclusion and determine which monster you are hunting. If you do everything correctly, you will understand which weapon to take with you to win the battle.
Choices that influence events
When talking to or interrogating NPCs, you can choose the direction the dialogue will take: whether Max will be reserved or explosive, support the other person, or take the opposite side.
Disclaimer! Since we are a small team, don't expect serious plot twists in the spirit of David Cage's projects (Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human). However, you will notice certain differences (as, for example, in TellTale projects, where choices in dialogues do not radically change the overall plot). We hope you'll like them.
Combat system
What awaits you: third-person shooting and dodging. The Soul is not only a movie with dialogue, but also a third-person action game. Be warned—choosing the wrong weapon will spell trouble for you and Max...
QTE
Be attentive, press the right buttons at the right time, and you will be rewarded with the desired cutscene.
