Havsala is a mystery puzzle solving game where you interact with different parts of the room using your mouse, read the diaries and books you found along the way.

Phryne was a woman in love with herself and with life. She didn’t want to perish. So she decided to build a nest in her soul. Thereby, even after the death of her beautiful body, her soul would be still there, remembered, in all the following bodies.

Explore the Soul Palace she built, find hidden messages and objects, examine the works of her reincarnations. Discover where and when each soul has lived to unravel their secrets; read the books they left in the Soul Palace's library and take notes. Walk out to the balcony for some thinking and star-gazing. Will you be able to overcome the challenges of the Soul Palace?
