JAAAAMESS WAHHH MY HEART all the characters are so well rounded at the end, multiple times had me in a choke-hold due to just learning about each of the characters, every bird, dog and cat just added to the world building!
I'd say there's more like 3.5+ hours to get out of this game. There's so much to take in and do! I couldn't get enough of the story. It was so amazingly relatable for me. The self loathing, the putting others first etc etc. I loved it all so much - the different characters, the different worlds. The poor Husk, just trying to make the most of his space and convince himself that he's happy.
I missed a few things through there - might go back to *ahem* cheat the stuff I missed, or maybe play through it all again? Somehow I missed the middle heart, and there's so many questions - like what if I didn't mess things up in the factory?
I'm not sure if there are alternate endings - as the one I got seemed pretty complete.
Oh, also at the very end one of the people lined up to cheer us on our sendoff says "you're now a lost soul" I think was meant to say "you're NOT a lost soul"? Could be wrong.
I just played through this, It's a beautiful exploration of the human mind with engaging gameplay and a satisfying ending. I wish I could play this again for the first time <3
Update your firmware and download the spiritualized GBC core, and and a GBC BIOS file. Pocket specific files are redundant when you can just play straight up Gameboy ROMs.
The Greeter asked if i was ready to leave. I said "no", and cried for some minutes. I became so attached to every characther, saying goodbye felt hard and...painful. "Stay where's familiar. Where's safe"
Everything felt like a warm hug, a gentle kiss onto my soul, a secure embrace. It is safe here. I can't name what i felt, it was a bittersweet happiness, a comfortable sadness.
Gods your work is just- wonderful. It spoke to me, it told me i'm doing good, that it's okay to not be strong now, cause i still have time and i'm doing my best considering my conditions.
2 hours well spent!! i love the different color palettes in each void-place-thing lol, and the feature of talking to someone twice to get them to say more was very cool. I also like that the final interaction i had with a trashcan was it saying f u lmao. Pixel art was so well done, n i love the message :)
What started as playing out of curious boredom turned into playing a game that spoke to my soul and ended with finding myself in tears. Thank you for this incredibly special game. I look forward to more from this brilliant developer!
Spoiler alert: I hope @manlybadasshero, @cjugames, @markiplier and the other let’s players (I couldn’t figure them out lol) you left little Easter eggs for in the secret room get to experience this game too! ❤️❤️❤️
omg the cookie one xD i can't, took another cookie and did not expect that x,D I finished the game, it was a great experience. I tried to have a different ending (i did got the happy ending with all the soul friends) but i guess it is fine as it is but wondered what it would have been otherwise.
I wanted to know more about the grim or really a different ending but neverthless great job :)
ah i forgot a bit but the inhabitant of the home got mad at me (i was scared xD) and locked the home. If i rememeber correctly he was really big and there was an sound so yes got scared xD
I'm finally playing the redux and I'm having an issue with the settings screen - no matter what I do I can't interact with anything on it. There's a cursor I can see but I can't "pick up" with my mouse or anything like that. I've clicked on it, pressed E, pressed Q again to try to get out, anything I can think of. I'm in the browser version, on Chrome, and I'm trying to open the settings on the first screen right next to the guy that tells you how to open the settings menu. Any idea why this is happening? All I can do is start over at this point because it won't let me out of the screen. I don't know if this screenshot will be helpful since it just looks normal to my knowledge. Thanks in advance if you know what I'm doing wrong or why this is happening. See reply to comment. I figured it out!
This pacing for the story was incredibly well done. I really liked it, although the more corrupted sections were definitely stomach churning. Certainly an experience to be sure
I stayed up late to finish this game, and then played it again the following day once I learned about the secret secret room. (I REALLY need broader context for that dude... I need the lore) I freaking loved this game and I loved the art especially (I wanted to love all of the sad monsters...) . Definitely a gem I'm gonna recommend to everyone. Can't wait to see what else you do. :]
The very, very last time you face off with the Grim, try to walk around him and there will be a secret entrance behind him. This happens right before you get sent back to town. Good luck!
Just as beautiful as I remember! Love all that was added and some of the small things added made me smile! Parts still made me sad but 1000000000% worth it! There is so much more love to say about this game but I just dont have to words for it!
What a beautiful game, story, drawings, everything was so magical, sadly, but beautiful, I wish it never end, But I'm glad, I almost cried, 🫶 beautiful art and all.
I liked the museum with your inspirations, but only people who already knew about each games will get the reference. I'm sure a lot of people who loved your game would also like to play Off by Mortis Ghost and the others, why not write it in plain letter somewhere?
I had played this game when it first came out, I guess. Maybe during early pandemic? Feels like a long long time, and it had been one of my fave experiences ever. Came back for the update and was not disappointed. Still one of my fave things ever. Made me drop a few tears :)
Also, I know most of the "paintings" in the museum. What are the last two?
this is one of the best games iv played in a while it's nice to know that there are still people creating heart-felt art that touches the heart and the soul
This game felt like a spiritual journey, with creepy yet very beautiful art and amazing writing, this one is definitely a must-play! Can't wait for the release of the Redux version, best luck for Kadabura and thank you for making this game!
The artwork is great, all the npc's kinda have their own voice - a very soulfull journey. The author has obviously a great talent and strong vision. Will play again.
Great game! I didn't manage to feed the hungry soul, so I'll have to do another playthrough. I absolutely love the ambience and the art.
I'd love to be able to download Soul Void as a .gb rom or an Analogue Pocket file. (Though if this game was made with GBS2.0 it would only be able to export to .gb.) This is one of those games I just want to carry around with me for the rest of my life.

Any chance you can provide the .pocket file I'd love to drop this on my Analogue Pocket 🙏

Thanks I had no idea it had this!

What happens if you take another cookie? I was curious but I didn't want to ruin it, lol
ah i forgot a bit but the inhabitant of the home got mad at me (i was scared xD) and locked the home. If i rememeber correctly he was really big and there was an sound so yes got scared xD

Note to other people who might be having this issue: you can move the mouse cursor with your arrow keys.
I loved everything about this game: the story, pixel art, characters, world building, music. And the area with the husk made me cry :')
I did a playthrough with (probably) all the quests completed and every area explored if anyone missed sth and wants to have a look:
Is the OST available to listen to anywhere btw?

Where is the secret secret room?
The very, very last time you face off with the Grim, try to walk around him and there will be a secret entrance behind him. This happens right before you get sent back to town. Good luck!
Thanks!!
10/10 this game really wowed me. The climax of the story blew me away. Enjoy the beautiful pixel art and chiptunes and lose yourself in this world
This game hits all the right themes. I could tell it was made with passion and experience, and care. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Just as beautiful as I remember! Love all that was added and some of the small things added made me smile! Parts still made me sad but 1000000000% worth it! There is so much more love to say about this game but I just dont have to words for it!
Fantastic game :3 the characters/music/theme-ing is all really well done, and no I will never stop checking each and every trash can

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very beautiful story.
Amazing game super inspiring
I liked the museum with your inspirations, but only people who already knew about each games will get the reference. I'm sure a lot of people who loved your game would also like to play Off by Mortis Ghost and the others, why not write it in plain letter somewhere?

Also, I know most of the "paintings" in the museum. What are the last two?
The second to last one must be inscription, no idea about the last one tho
What were the paintings? (I only know the undertale and inscryption ones)
this is one of the best games iv played in a while it's nice to know that there are still people creating heart-felt art that touches the heart and the soul
This game felt like a spiritual journey, with creepy yet very beautiful art and amazing writing, this one is definitely a must-play! Can't wait for the release of the Redux version, best luck for Kadabura and thank you for making this game!
What a wonderfull game, holy sh##
The artwork is great, all the npc's kinda have their own voice - a very soulfull journey. The author has obviously a great talent and strong vision. Will play again.
Very chill game. I dig it.
One of my favorite games on all of itch.io. Just a fantastic experience all around.
art is amazing and the game is also rlly good!!!! made me cry
Great game! I didn't manage to feed the hungry soul, so I'll have to do another playthrough. I absolutely love the ambience and the art.
