Reviews

“The Spirit Engine is a unique side-scrolling RPG from 2003 that is being remade for modern systems by @aquellex.ws and the original creator Mark Pay. Begging everyone to wishlist this because it is one of my all-time favorites and imo still holds up.”
Jay Tholen (Hypnospace Outlaw)

“damn, there's a name i haven't heard for a while 🤩”

“Looks way better! I didn't realize Mark was involved in this project”
