Soul Astray Demo

Introduction:

Soul Astray is a challenging (yet whimsical) puzzle-precision platformer that subtly touches on the struggle to find direction in one's life. 

Story:

Your hesitancy to commit to a path in life has left you abandoned. Work through your indecision as you constantly transition between good and evil to find yourself!

Key Game Mechanics:

• Switch: Unique game mechanic that switches your controls each time you jump!

• Foresight: Use the game's Foresight mechanic to plan your route to achieve the unlikely first-try success.

Other Features:

• Difficulty: A minimal tutorial followed by learn-as-you-fail levels that demand creativity.

• Health Tokens: You're an immortal soul that can survive without health, but the tokens might be useful elsewhere...

• Redemption Tokens: If you find yourself stuck due to an earlier misstep, use these limited tokens to restart the level.

• Goodness Meter: The purity of your soul is tracked, show them (who?) that you have more than just a good heart.

• Lamps: Sacrifice soul fragments to light the lamps in your path, a gift to help guide other lost souls. If you find a lamp already lit, accept the gift for a unique power.

• Trinkets: Collect trinkets in hard-to-reach places to remind yourself who you are + alter game outcomes.

• Secrets: Unexpected secrets encourage you to make choices that can alter your end-goal.

You watch them ascend around you... what will you sacrifice to keep up?
