Sova

Sova is a narrative-driven action roguelike set in a strange and beautiful sci-fantasy world. You play as the titular Sova, navigating the ever-shifting landscape of the Conjecture - fighting, exploring, and piecing together a story that bends with your decisions. Find the Constant, write your own past, and forge everyone’s future!Sova fuses tight, expressive combat with branching narrative systems inspired by classic CRPGs. Every run is a chance to craft new builds, uncover hidden lore, and watch the world subtly shift in response to your actions - both in and out of battle.

INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING

Walk away from conversations, Interrupt characters or punch them in the face mid-sentence. Choices leave lasting marks - on quests, environments, even combat! Enemies remember you, and encounters evolve into personal rivalries. Forge - and break - relationships with colorful characters, as your choices decide their fate.

EVOLVING COMBAT

Combat in Sova is fast, deliberate and electric. Cut through enemies with style and precision, weaving strikes, dodges and abilities into a rhythm that’s uniquely yours. Each run is a chance to experiment and express yourself. Compose your own violence - and bend Conjecture to your will!

WEIRD WORLD

Sova’s world is rich, strange, and beautifully haunting. Explore this shifting landscape - from a sprawling, dying megacity to vibrant, flowing wastelands, to industrial hellscapes of metal and flesh. Uncover compelling encounters, characters and anomalies. Forge your own path through strange biomes, unlock hidden routes, and unearth the layered mysteries of a surreal apocalypse.
