About the Game

MARKED SOULS

Deep in a remote forest stands an ancient manor. Once a noble estate, it is now a sanctuary for the "Lost Ones" — traumatized children with no one left in the world.

You play as Igor, a teenager suffocating under the weight of survivor's guilt after a devastating car crash. He arrives at the shelter looking for a fresh start, but quickly realizes this place is feeding on his fears. Strange symbols appear on the walls, chilling whispers echo in the dark, and the locals speak of five children who vanished without a trace exactly 13 years ago.

Everything changes when Igor uncovers a sinister, sealed tome hidden in the basement. Inside is a single legible page containing an ancient ritual of resurrection. Driven by desperation and the naive hope of cheating death, Igor and his new friends decide to test the ritual.

But magic always demands a price.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Deep Psychological Horror: Experience a narrative that blurs the line between trauma-induced hallucinations and actual paranormal phenomena.

  • Choices Matter: Your decisions directly impact Igor's mental state, his relationships with the other teenagers, and the story's outcome.

  • Rich Lore: Piece together the dark history of the manor and the mystery of the missing children.

  • Immersive Atmosphere: Detailed, digitally hand-drawn art and a haunting original soundtrack.

  • Multiple Endings: Will you find salvation, or will you become just another ghost in the forest?

  • Languages: Fully playable in English, Russian, and German.
