Soul Void
Soul Void is a short, 1-3 hour experience made in the style of a gameboy-era game. Explore the odd landscapes of the void, help lost souls you find along the way, and face your inner demons as you attempt to find a way home. [Made with GB Studio.] [OST here!]
Keyboard / Handheld controls:
WASD / Arrows - move
E / A Button - Interact
Q / Start - settings
REDUX UPDATE ( 06/28/23)
The Redux update is now live! Enjoy playing through Soul Void with a brand new coat of paint and several QoL improvements. This update includes:
- An OST
- Retouched or fully-updated graphics/color palettes
- A save system
- Easier to read font and dialogue boxes
- Movement speed options, easier backtracking, and helpful cheats
- New and updated NPCs/dialogue/quests
- Adjustments to map layouts
- A downloadable ROM for gameboy hardware
- And many more secrets to discover!
KNOWN ISSUES:
- When loading a save file, the area's music may not play. This can be fixed by hitting a new sound cue (exiting/entering the screen is the fastest way.)
- Sometimes a moving actor may vanish when it intersects with the camera movement at the wrong time. They'll come back with a screen change.
- I don't know if the blank dialogue soft lock still exists and I'm terrified of its ever-looming presence. If this happens, try refreshing the page and reloading a save.
- If the game boots to a black screen while using Chrome, please enable third party cookies for itch.io or this game's url specifically, or consider using a different browser to play!
- Keyboard movement and inputs are case-sensitive (make sure caps lock is off!)
(If you ever find yourself stuck, I've written a guide here that will hopefully be of use! (NOTE: It's a bit out of date, seeing as how it was written for Soul Void's original release, but may still prove helpful!))

Amazing game amazing art amazing music. Just finished it and feeling everything. Amazing story. I needed to hear some of those things. So thank you. :)
BRUHHH 😮 I legit dont wanna leave the Husk's place
This game definitely broke me down emotional but it was SO GOOD, I still need to continue it and get to the full ending. But from what I played, there is such an incredible story, AMAZING art and visuals, and an overall incredible vibe to share with my stream.
Thank you so much for sharing this, I played it as ROM on my Anbernic and made a small review of it: loved it!
Just a note: I don't know if this is intentional, but there seems to be a bug in the main menu where I'm unable to select either "New Game" or "Continue". Even with the downloaded ROM files, it seems unable to fix the issue. My main hypothesis is that there's a glitch somewhere in which I was interacting with an object, the game froze, for lack of a better word, and then booted me back to the main menu without warning.
That aside, overall, love your work and hope you keep it up. :3
well made and really deep, wish it was longer <3 thank you for making this free
this game was insaney emotional for me. 10/10!!!
It's been over 4 years since I first played this game. Just came to check up on it and saw there was new content added in 2023 and I can't wait to redownload and re-experience it all over again <3

A good game! I liked it and would have preferred lights at the entrances to the level filled with thorns, to indicate that it was possible to enter.
I loved this game so much. I got kind of attached to the trashcan tho
Honestly lol
I finished the game and... I started tearing up... This game was so good and I am in LOVE with it!
Incredibly substantial game. Filled to the brim with purpose and with an added message to give too! I loved it, and will remember it for a while.
I loved it, it was a vey meaningful game!
Awesome game!! Everything worked just fine and, wow, that story! Great work :)
Hi! Do you happen to have a .studio file so I can play the game on my analogue pocket?
This is the first time I've played this game. It made such a meaningful impact on my own thoughts and how confronting them can change perspective. There were many times I thought one of the characters was really scary, only to discover they were just as scared. Really makes you think. Truly an amazing experience.
great great great game, so sick, loved it a lot, thank you for making it, i laughed, i cried, woo yeah!!
Beautifully made
This Game is really fun and creative, I enjoyed the Undertale and OFF elements. If I could suggest anything I would say to mak ethe monster look less like Tumblr sexy men.
holy fucking shit this game messed with my head so hard it is SO INCREDIBLE
I loved the art style
hi does anyone know how to solve the red moveable smiley faces bit? im stuck on the last 2 statues
i... i... i LOVE YOU???? WHAT????? WHAT???!!!!!! OH MY GOD I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
(speechless rn ill go blog about how greatn this is on tumblr WHAT I LOVE YOU???)
if i may ask... did you use a gb studio?
immediately attracted by the art style. The visuals are so cool I was like "I have to play this". Turns out that I'm right--it's one of the best game I've played so far.
this is the best game ive ever played, reminds me of old Zelda games but without the fighting element which is so refreshing <3
An old Zelda game without the fighting element? So like literally any top down retro game ever made? lol
This is the best game I've played in a long time! I loved everything about it. It definitely leans into that nostalgic joy of interacting with everything in an old gameboy game and finding secrets.
I also definitely cried way more than I anticipated. I needed something like this more than I realized. Thank you so much for making this ;n;
Beutiful game. Thank you for making this.
smash
