What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Early Access game is an unaltered and foundational version of the game from the solo developer (code, music and art). This means external feedback throughout the rest of development would be much appreciated!

Using community feedback, the goal is to steer the project towards more and better content. This includes improved game mechanics, more levels and multiple endings. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The earliest estimate for a 1.0 release is March 2026.”

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

“The Early Access version will not include the planned ending of the game.
The current ambition of the full version is to have not one, but many, game endings that early supporters of the game helped influence.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently playable with most of its features already in place.

The beginning of the game will provide an intentionally brief tutorial to the game's base mechanics and throw you into 6 zones, each with new mechanics that require precision and thoughtful planning. After utilizing the game's "Foresight" mechanic, the player will be able to experiment with various approaches to overcome hand-crafted platforming challenges.

Though the playtime of the Early Access version will vary drastically based on player skill level, it is roughly 80% of the content planned for the full release.”

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

“Soul Astray will launch at a discount during Early Access.
At full release, the price will increase to reflect the completion of additional content and features.”

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

“From inputs received on Kickstarter to reviews left on the Early Access/demo, community involvement will help guide the development process.”

About This Game

Introduction:

Soul Astray is a contemplative retro-style platformer that intentionally uproots one of the genre's key assumptions: input consistency! Refresh your expectations as you master the unique challenges introduced by the "Control Switch" mechanic (explained below) in a world filled with groovy music.

Key Game Mechanic:

Control Switch Mechanic

"Dash" and "Jump" inputs switch with each jump!
Your character's color provides a visual cue for the input orientation.

Other Features:

Foresight: Use the game's Foresight mechanic to plan your route to achieve the unlikely first-try success.
Difficulty: A minimal tutorial followed by learn-as-you-fail levels that demand creativity.
Health Tokens: You're an immortal soul that can survive without health, but the tokens might be useful elsewhere...
Redemption Tokens: If you find yourself stuck due to an earlier misstep, use these limited tokens to restart the level.
Goodness Meter: The purity of your soul is tracked, show them (who?) that you have more than just a good heart.
Lamps: Sacrifice soul fragments to light the lamps in your path, a gift to help guide other lost souls. If you find a lamp already lit, accept the gift for a unique power.
Trinkets: Collect trinkets in hard-to-reach places to remind yourself who you are + alter game outcomes.
Secrets: Unexpected secrets encourage you to make choices that can alter your end-goal.

Story:

A gently implied story of struggling to find direction. Your hesitancy to commit to a path in life has left you abandoned. Work through your indecision as you constantly transition between good and evil to find yourself!
