Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access gives me the opportunity to share the first part of 'Marked Souls' with players while I continue developing the rest of the story. Player feedback at this stage can be valuable for improving the narrative, character development, and overall gaming experience as I work on the remaining chapters.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I aim to develop the full version throughout 2025. The development timeline may vary depending on player feedback and the scope of improvements to be made.”

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

“For the full version, I plan to include:

Additional story content expanding to about 3 chapters
Roughly 5 hours of gameplay (reading/decision making)
More endings based on player choices”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes the first chapter of the story, offering approximately 2 hours of gameplay. Core visual novel systems are implemented and functional, providing a solid foundation for the experience I hope to build upon.”

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

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.

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.
