    The premise seems interesting and the graphics and music are charming, but the English localization is so awful that I can't continue. I'm less than five minutes in and multiple lines of dialogue have had glaring and obvious typos, or worse yet, been completely incomprehensible. As one example, an early character points out a candle and tells me: "I've made few of them based on some found around!" What does this mean? I have no idea. It's not just misspellings, whole words are seemingly…

    I really love playing this game. The game has that constant mysterious feel even later in the game, which fits perfectly with the puzzle nature and theme of the game. The plot isn't the main aspect of the game, but it still is very intriguing, with a lot of hints scattered around to help you better understand the mysteries around the game events. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game will end! And for the puzzle, I never felt that a puzzle was similar to another: every zone has its theme,…

    Ok, you wake up in a creepy dungeon, but here's the kicker: death is your ticket to progress. As you die (literally), you unlock new abilities and forms, which makes for some seriously fun puzzle-solving. The idea is pretty cool, easy recommend for a couple of evenings.

    Great little game. The English is fine in it, maybe slightly off sometimes; I saw a review saying it's like, unplayable due to the translation or something? Uhhhh no, it was extremely easy to follow, and very little, if any, of the dialogue is really necessary to understand how to play the game, just for story. Anyway, it's basically a top-down puzzle-oriented metroidvania (AKA a Zelda-style game, but next to no combat). Dying makes you come back as a skeleton, then dying again as a skeleton,…

    well, I was looking for it since I’ve been following Thund on Itchio and liked the games he posted and I’m here to support him now on steam. Souls spectrum is a decent game with an interesting concept of death. Try it.

    Interesting premise, but everything is so slooooow from the movement to the maneuvers even the dialog just crawls along at a glacial pace.

    Puzzle adventure + unique + art/music = There are 4 stages to life: birth, death, die, die again. An interesting way to solve puzzles to pass each level. Each form has abilities and limitations.

    Overall I really really enjoyed it and I managed to collect everything and see both endings in about 4-5 hours. Not a very long game (in a good way), there are a few hiccups here and there, but it's definitely worth your time! TLDR + Clever puzzles + Nice atmosphere and graphics + Dynamic music that changes when you change shape + Good sense of exploration with interconnected locations + Overall lore and story is ok, but... - Dialogues need some tweaks (I played the italian version) - Story…

    What a phenomenal game! The demo doesn’t show the game’s full nature being a Zelda like action adventure with a mini open world, puzzles to solve, upgrades, collectibles and having a map with some helpful info. Although things are not handed to you easily, most of the puzzles were fair and interesting in the right way. Having 4 forms each with strengths and weaknesses mixed with the death mechanic, I enjoyed this more than expected. I’m also surprised with the story and characters. It remained…

    Puzzle game where you juggle between four forms to overcome obstacles. Although the game’s images might suggest that this is an RPG, the genre is actually a puzzle with action elements. You play a soul who doesn’t know much about what’s going on. All you know you’re stuck in some sort of castle. While the entity that welcomes you doesn’t really reveal much, it does help you with candles. Once you touch one, you’re introduced to the game’s mechanic: forms. The fun part of the game are four…

    I'll begin by saying that I'm truly amazed. In a very positive way. I didn't expect a product like this. I had low expectations. It's a game that immediately impressed me with its completely original gameplay, different from the usual RPG Maker-style games. You can clearly see the passion and attention to detail in every level. It's a game in which you learn that in order to progress, you need to know how to die. At first, this concept doesn't come naturally, but as you continue, you quickly…

    Unexpected twists, exploring themes of love, revenge, and atonement, where the boundaries between life and death blur. Heh, this a true Rpgmaker game :)

    a fun puzzle game. really makes ya think. studying italian, at an intermediate level, the italian in the game was pretty simple to understand. some odd occult words that are repeated a lot, and characters with simple motivations to understand, and a lot of little notes with tidbits of info.

    Loved it! Another excellent game made by Thund Games, who has other great games on itch.io. - Excellent and atmospheric music that changes with your forms - This is a dark fantasy story that's intriguing with fun characters - the puzzles are a good balance of easy and hard. Expect a few "Guide Dangit" moments! - 2D pixel art is a plus for me - you can complete the game in less than 30 hours. Not long, great for a few nights - somewhat metroidvania feel, at least for me Given the amount of…

    Soul's Spectrum is a distinctive puzzle-driven adventure that builds its entire identity around a clever inversion of traditional game logic: death is not a setback, but a necessary and deliberate mechanic. Developed by Thund Games and published by Ravenage Games, the title blends classic dungeon exploration, environmental puzzles, and light RPG elements into an experience that constantly challenges players to rethink how they approach danger, failure, and progression. From the opening moments,…

    It's a fun top down, retro inspired puzzle game. Is it perfect? Definitely not. The controls can be clunky at times, especially in regards to "combat". You receive a weapon at one point but referring to it as combat definitely feels like a stretch. It's definitely a slower paced puzzle game so that mechanic helps progress the story and it fits thematically, but it's easily my least favorite part of the game. Where it excels are the concepts presented in its story and the main puzzle solving…

    This is a cool little game! Good difficulty - I was tempted to look for a guide once or twice but didn't find a nice one (just playthrough videos), so I did without. I succeeded in contacting the organization, which I am kind of proud of, and managed to open the mausoleum and set everyone free. Now I am just missing one scroll, and there's a door I haven't opened yet... Recommended!

    This game is so creative!! I love the strategy and puzzles, using the different phases of death and life to get through different obstacles is so much fun, and the soundtrack really adds to the atmosphere! The art of Nora is absolutely amazing too, I can't stop looking at it, especially the skeleton! I can't wait to play more and learn about the story!

    Fun little game mainly based toward puzzle, easy puzzle. It is a mix between metroidvania were new power are required to progress in other part of the map. The game is quite fast to 100%, approx. 4-5h.

    I didn't actually play the game; I just opened it up with the intention of playing it later, left the game running, and did other stuff for so long that I accidentally forgot that I had the game open for almost an hour! I played the jam version of the game and enjoyed it, though, so I'm sure I'd enjoy this,

    Very nice, mood is consistent, story is fun, even if a bit simple. I liked the puzzles, some were harder than others but that made things interesting. I'd have loved some more hidden content to discover though.

    Playing this game feels like attending a bizarre costume party. You shift between different forms more often than a teenager trying on outfits for prom. It's the kind of party where death shapes the guest list, and I can't stop laughing about it!

    Soul's Spectrum dungeon crawler game where the gimmick is you can't get past certain obstacles unless you are a certain flavor of dead nice concept, but it turns simply walking down the hall into a puzzle and i have no patience for that shit i think that's enough demos for today
