Although Soulace is short, I enjoyed it! The art is good and the sprites are distinctive and filled with personality, as are the characters themselves; the music was good and some of the track-titles made me chuckle, like Banter with shitty friends and Drunkfounded by stupordity. Though we only had a brief glimpse into the Purgatower, its modernity (smartphones, TV rooms and popcorn) made it distinct and I wouldn't have minded seeing more of it; there's also a touch of absurdity in the game, most notably in who's in charge of actually judging souls. The plot was fairly straightforward but worked well to frame the characters and there were a lot of small touches that I liked, like the MC's bad jokes and wearing that huge hooded robe to watch Deadflix like it's a Snuggie.

Sidenote: I got an error when trying to access the Sprite Gallery after my playthrough, apparently linked to a missing images/characters/silhouettes/spydogs s1.png, though it didn't affect my game experience.

Hey! Thanks a lot for writing about your experience with our game! I'm very glad to read you enjoyed it! ♥️
