Soul's Spectrum

What a phenomenal game! The demo doesn’t show the game’s full nature being a Zelda like action adventure with a mini open world, puzzles to solve, upgrades, collectibles and having a map with some helpful info. Although things are not handed to you easily, most of the puzzles were fair and interesting in the right way. Having 4 forms each with strengths and weaknesses mixed with the death mechanic, I enjoyed this more than expected. I’m also surprised with the story and characters. It remained intriguing, pretty well told and all questions were answered. The flaws are pretty minor. There were 3 instances where the puzzles were vague or where you need to go next was left too ambiguous (finding a key not sure where it belongs unless you remember that one locked door, one of the flowers being hard to get to unless you remember that other side from a different area and not remembering any hints for a password to an optional room). The game has fast travel through save points but weird enough, it doesn’t work on all save points. There is no logical consistency why that is the case. The map is not big though, so it’s not a huge loss. The game took me around 8 hours to 100%. The achiev…

Soul's Spectrum is a distinctive puzzle-driven adventure that builds its entire identity around a clever inversion of traditional game logic: death is not a setback, but a necessary and deliberate mechanic. Developed by Thund Games and published by Ravenage Games, the title blends classic dungeon exploration, environmental puzzles, and light RPG elements into an experience that constantly challenges players to rethink how they approach danger, failure, and progression. From the opening moments, it makes clear that experimentation and transformation, rather than survival alone, are the keys to advancement. The game begins in a grim, mysterious dungeon that immediately establishes an atmosphere of isolation and unease. Traps, hostile creatures, locked paths, and environmental hazards dominate the space, but instead of encouraging cautious avoidance, the game subtly invites players to embrace risk. Very early on, it becomes clear that dying is not only inevitable but essential, as each death shifts the protagonist into a new existential form. These transformations fundamentally alter how the world can be navigated, turning obstacles into opportunities once the correct form is underst…

Unique and clever puzzle game with an interesting story.

Fun little game mainly based toward puzzle, easy puzzle. It is a mix between metroidvania were new power are required to progress in other part of the map. The game is quite fast to 100%, approx. 4-5h.

I didn't actually play the game; I just opened it up with the intention of playing it later, left the game running, and did other stuff for so long that I accidentally forgot that I had the game open for almost an hour! I played the jam version of the game and enjoyed it, though, so I'm sure I'd enjoy this,

Cute little puzzle RPG with great design and mechanism
