Save Their Souls attempts to blend platforming with memory challenges but falls short in execution. The gameplay is repetitive, offering little variety to sustain interest. While the retro-inspired graphics aim for nostalgia, they come across as dated and lackluster. On a positive note, the inclusion of local co-op mode is commendable, providing an opportunity for shared play. However, the overall experience feels reminiscent of subpar browser games, making it difficult to recommend.

Save Their Souls, developed and published by KomBits Game Studio, is a compact indie title that blends platforming with route-planning and memory-based gameplay. Rather than focusing purely on reflex-driven action, it builds its identity around preparation and execution, asking players to study each level before attempting to navigate it efficiently.

This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

It's simple and well made. Maybe my memory has improved a little.
