SOULS

I had just posted a review on this just a bit ago, but after some thought, I think this should only be recommended to people familiar with visual novels and have the patience to overlook the countless grammatical errors and subpar translation. I did finish the game. In one session even. I engrossed myself in the story enough to overlook the errors. The plot had some good twists and the game kept me guessing til the end. However, there also tend to be some pretty big plot holes/unanswered questions [spoiler] like why it seemed like after the father was absorbed, it went straight to an elementary school instead of, for example, his previous place of work? And if it was because of the stench of negative emotion, why was everyone there so miserable? [/spoiler] The very end consisted of walls and walls of text that had to use metaphors to explain the majority of its concepts. Normally this style of explanation is effective, but using an analogy for every single philosophical concept gets old very quickly once you're so close to the ending. It was difficult to initially discern how long each "chapter" would be. The first few were an acceptable length, but the last ones were incredibly…

The story is interesting enough for a cheap visual novel, but the ending ruins it. When the story is being wrapped up you think it's about to end but nooo, it goes into an epilogue that lasts about as long as the actual story of the game and it's incredibly repetitive and boring. It goes from being a show and not tell sort of story to a never ending poorly written philosophical rant in which the author really wants to drive the point home. I wish there was a meh option when it comes to recommendation though. it wasn't terrible, but it was disappointing.

The soundtrack is awesome even as a AAA title, never the less made be a indie game company.

SOULS is a quiet, unsettling, and deeply introspective indie narrative experience that prioritizes mood and psychological tension over conventional gameplay structure. Developed and published by Team Fork, the game deliberately defies expectations suggested by its title, offering not an action-heavy challenge but a slow, contemplative story that lingers through implication and emotional ambiguity. It is the kind of game that asks players to observe, reflect, and sit with discomfort, rather than rush toward clear answers or traditional rewards. The story begins with an almost mundane sense of curiosity. A young boy hears rumors about a strange being known as the Human Snake living near an abandoned reservoir, and driven by intrigue, he seeks it out. This encounter becomes the foundation for a deeply unusual relationship that resists simple labels. The creature is neither clearly hostile nor comforting, and the bond that forms between it and the boy exists in an uneasy space between fascination, dependence, fear, and emotional attachment. As the narrative unfolds, the game gradually explores how this relationship affects the boy’s inner world, blurring the lines between innocence an…
