Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Marked Souls is a story-driven game that will grow chapter by chapter. Early Access allows me to release the beginning of Igor's story while continuing to develop the remaining chapters with feedback from players.

”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Marked Souls is expected to remain in Early Access while the remaining chapters and story content are developed. The exact development timeline will depend on the scope of future chapters and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan for the full version to continue and complete Igor's story with additional chapters, new locations, character interactions, choices, minigames, and multiple possible outcomes.

The scope and details of future content may evolve during Early Access based on development and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the first chapter of Marked Souls, with approximately 2 hours of story and gameplay.

Players can experience the beginning of Igor's story, explore the orphanage, interact with its residents, make choices, discover hidden items and clues, take part in several minigames, and begin uncovering the mystery surrounding the children who disappeared 13 years ago.

The core systems, including dialogue, exploration, choices, saving and loading, and character interactions, are implemented and playable.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to gradually increase the price as new content is added to the game. Early Access supporters would be getting the game at a lower price point than the eventual full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to read and consider the feedback received through reviews and comments to improve the game. Community input could be particularly helpful for refining character development, dialogue, and story elements. I hope to maintain open communication with players throughout the development process

About This Game

MARKED SOULS

How far would you go to bring back someone you lost?

After losing his family in a devastating car crash, Igor is sent to an isolated orphanage hidden deep within a remote forest. What should have been a new beginning quickly turns into something far more disturbing.

Strange symbols appear where they shouldn't. Whispers echo through empty halls. And thirteen years ago, five children vanished from this place without a trace.

As Igor explores the orphanage and gets to know its residents, he discovers fragments of its buried past — and a mysterious ritual that promises the impossible:

To bring the dead back.

Driven by grief and surrounded by teenagers with secrets of their own, Igor faces a choice that could change all of their lives.

But some things should stay dead.

EXPLORE AND UNCOVER THE TRUTH

Explore the orphanage, examine your surroundings, discover hidden items and piece together clues about the five children who disappeared thirteen years ago.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS

Get to know the other residents of the orphanage. Spend time with them, discover their personalities and take part in small interactive activities — from playing darts to picking up a guitar.

MAKE YOUR CHOICES

Your decisions shape Igor's relationships and influence how the story unfolds. Some choices may seem insignificant at first, but their consequences can follow you later.

PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR

Igor's grief, memories and increasingly disturbing experiences blur the boundary between trauma and something genuinely supernatural.

MULTIPLE ENDINGS

The path you take and the decisions you make lead toward different outcomes. Not everyone may share the same fate.

HAND-DRAWN ATMOSPHERE

Enter a dark, digitally hand-drawn world accompanied by an original soundtrack created for Marked Souls.

EARLY ACCESS

Marked Souls is being released chapter by chapter. The Early Access version begins Igor's story and will expand with additional chapters, locations, interactions and story content as development continues.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development process, I used generative AI as a supportive tool for creating some reference images and for proofreading text. All materials created with AI assistance were carefully edited and refined by me. Most of the visual elements were created without using AI. The game itself does not use real-time AI content generation.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Marked Souls is a psychological horror visual novel featuring supernatural elements, occult rituals, and psychological horror themes. The game contains depictions of paranormal activity, demonic possession, and mystical trials that may be disturbing to some players. There are scenes involving frightening imagery, psychological distress, and references to death. The story deals with themes of loss, grief, and trauma as the characters navigate through supernatural challenges.
