I played the “Shattered Souls” demo, and you should too! (Mini review)

TL;DR: I am so excited for the full release of this this fun dark fantasy isekai otome game!

Shattered Souls is an upcoming game by @eternallovestudios. They just launched their Kickstarter and you can check out their short demo (one to two hours) on Steam or on itch.io.

In the words of the studio...

Celeste finds herself fighting for her life after enduring a betrayal that no one should experience.

As she nears her final breath, she is whisked away to a different world: Remoire.

Things are not as they seem, though. She’s not a mortal. Her past is as vast as the ocean. Her soul is fractured and barely holding together from the traumas she’s faced and forgotten. She must heal herself or even the tiniest tragedy could shatter her. But she’s not the only one who is broken.

Join Celeste as she fights not only to save her own life, but to change the lives of those around her. 

Will you traverse worlds, realms, and even time itself? Will you test your fate? Will you try again?

I played the demo, and I can't wait for more!

In this game, you play as Celeste - a mortal (?) girl determined to seek revenge, but also tied to seven different men (the romanceable characters). These are:

Marris: Literally God

Lance: The Actual "White Knight"

Shiro: Tsundere Demon Hunter

Ezra: Warrior Priest

Aizen: The Emperor

Karver: Childhood Best Friend

Eternal: ???

Basically, in the demo, you get introduced to Celeste's world and meet all these men. While this demo was short, it left me wanting more!

Here's what I liked:

The voice acting!! I love that this is a fully voice acted demo. It added so much to the game. Marris had me honestly laughing out loud!

The soundtrack! The music in this demo was beautiful. I can't wait to hear more of it.

The atmosphere! There was some tonal whiplash just in this demo, and I thought the devs did a great job of having me laughing but just a few minutes later, creating a dark, creepy atmosphere.

The art! Beautiful backgrounds and character design, especially on our MC, Celeste. She was so pretty I found myself just staring at her sprite the whole time!

And of course...the men! Seven is an ambitious amount of LIs, but I appreciated that each of them came off as distinct and unique. Plus, as someone who is a sucker for tsunderes and the childhood best friend trope, I can already tell who I'm going to go for first hahaha.

Basically, this game immediately sucked me in. I really enjoyed the world the demo set up and it left me wanting more - especially because there were a lot of questions raised that don't have answers yet. It feels like a lot of work went into building this fantasy world and I want more!

The writing is really good too and some of the lines were kinda silly, but the VAs said them with their chest lmao so it was good. I really liked the story. I feel like isekai is everywhere these days but this seems like it'll be something different from the usual.

I really recommend checking out this demo, and if you can, supporting the Kickstarter! I already have lmao. Please do because one of the stretch goals is a NSFW DLC.........

Mangle: They're natural enemies ... just like Englishmen and Scots, Welshmen and Scots. Or Japanese and Scots. Or, Scots and Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!

Circus baby: you Scots sure are a contentious people

Mangle: YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!

Just who is this man that calls out to you?

His hand, outstretched and trembling, feels warm despite the darkness that surrounds him.

""I won't let you break. Let's start again."

Will you take his hand and journey into the unknown?

Follow our Kickstarter to take this mysterious man's hand!

“Please, don’t make me do this! Don’t make me do this!” - Irene to Sora, probably. 

Holy smokes, content for the Kingdom Hearts fic I haven’t updated in an eternity! Le Gasp! In all seriousness, Epic: The Musical has been living rent free in my head and the one line gave such KH Maria vibes, which in turn made me think about the planned battle for Hollow Bastion that takes place after a certain character’s death. Which in turn made me think of Riku vs Irene. 

Irene straight up snaps and attacks Sora, but Riku!Ansem interevenes. He distracts her by telling her that he was the one she wanted, as he was the one who killed Zexion and Lexaeus, and it works. Her attention is solely on him now. She loved Zexion. Lexaeus was like a father to her. She’s wants to kill this stranger. To add to her rage, she recognizes him as the one that stopped her from saving Roxas. 

As Sora is running through killing the Heartless, Maria appears. She wants vengeance. Has from day one upon learning about Castle Oblivion. She doesn’t win, though. Mickey probably appears (another subject of her hate) and gives Sora a chance to escape after surviving by himself for so long. 

Irene almost defeats Riku, but hesitates when she goes to deliver the final blow, believing she would be just like him (who murdered Zexion and Lexaeus) and Riku nearly kills her in that moment after taking advantage of her hesitation to knock her down, slashing at her, but decides to heal her when he goes to leave and takes her unconscious self somewhere safe to recover. She has severe burns after the fight, seeing as foreign darkness is poison to her, and he had used dark firaga against her. Burns carry over all the way to KH3. 

(The gauntlets Irene is wearing is actually her staff transformed, via an item Lexaeus gave her. Maria and Irene are both able to transform their weapons based on the accessories they’re given and/or are able to use a very specific trick. Marluxia’s lets Irene throw out seeds that bloom and grow into vines, trapping whoever is within range. Axel’s lets Irene throw out what’s basically akin to deadly fireworks, lol. 

Lexaeus’ gift is just more physical than magical because he’s an earth elemental, and Irene uses her own earth element to strengthen her body and deal great physical damage. One of the gauntlets shatter in her battle with Riku, though, which resulted in her facial burn as she was using the gauntlets to guard against his attack. With Zexion’s gift, her staff transforms into a type that specializes in illusion magic)

Riku literally broke the bloody cycle surrounding the Keepers of Heart by choosing to spare Irene in that moment. 

He could have very well added to it, but doesn’t, and will later learn this in Dream Drop Distance upon seeing little Micheal and Rachel, the previous Keepers of Light and Darkness, in Fantasia. He’ll also realize that the burn he gave Irene parallels the one Rachel was given by Micheal when he was failing to learn offensive magic. Sora meanwhile gets to learn the messed up origins surrounding Maria growing up in the Mysterious Tower.

And then Irene and Maria have mental breakdowns upon seeing Ienzo, Aeleus, Dilan, and Lea. Woo! Irene is paired with Zexion/Ienzo and Maria with Axel/Lea and Saix/Isa.

“Have you fallen for me yet?” “No. I was only wondering why you hide behind this ugly thing.” Lucenna tugged on the bristles of his chin. Klyde’s mischievous grin returned. “If I shave, then you won’t be able to resist me. You would be so helplessly in love it wouldn’t be fair.” Lucenna smirked. “You’re delusional.” / Lucenna laughed against his lips. “What’s so amusing?” Klyde asked, resting his forehead against hers. “You were right.” “I normally am, but what about this time?” She leaned back a bit and brushed her fingers over the stubble on his jaw. “About what would happen if you shaved.” Klyde’s lips curved in that sly, cocksure grin that she thought she had hated. “I did say you would fall so helplessly in love with me.”

[stealingyourbones]

Jason startles as a stranger on the streets of Gotham takes one look at him, looks at him in absolute horror, and then runs to the closest dumpster and vomits into it.

Jason is mildly offended. He doesn’t look that bad does he? — Danny glances back to look at the undead staring at him on the sidewalk and nearly vomits again. His soul is shattered. It’s like looking at a human after being hit by a car at 60mph who’s acting like they’re perfectly fine as they walk towards you. — Jason approaches the stranger, one hand hovering over the shoulder of the guy and asks; “Hey man what’s your problem? What's the deal w-”

The once retching passerby moves imperceptibly quick. His hands go through Jason’s chest and before he can even react he feels something snap back into place.

Jason can barely remember screaming as he near instantly blacks out from the pain.
