Hi Ceribrox! I hope you are doing well! My brothers and I wanted to put out a YouTube video highlighting some of our favorite games from the jam and we wanted to talk about Soulbind! Is that okay with you?
Let me know!

I just found it after the rating ended, congratulations on the first story place. You create an excellent mood and the music was a good choice. Great game, not sure on the theme but maybe thats just my "ascended" ending. After completing I wanted to restart, but the player sprite was missing afterwards.

Developer

you are a soul on its last stand in purgatory! It’s okay, seems like quite a few people didn’t get it either :( sorry about that bug! A clean reset in the browser should kick it back

Very nice narrative experience ! I think I got all endings (ascended, return to body and doomed to be an lost spirit) or is there still a super secret one?
There is only one little bug, I can move the camera without pressing space at the start of the game.
Great game !

only the 3! I was wondering when someone was going to notice that one 😂 thanks for the kind words!

Really well made atmospheric game with beautiful aesthetics and good application of story/narrative; must have been a lot of work. Very much liked the parts between "levels" and actual memories. In general very unique entry compared to other games in this jam.

My first game with a story ;) good work. I went through and got judged - and I didn't understand what the judgement was :D I did like the story, and that I was able to just ignore every prompt. I laughed when it wanted me to go back and pick up the ant - its gross :D 

Good work!

For some reason I do not seem to be able to gather memories? Am I being dumb? Playing web version with keyboard.

Love the aesthetics and sound!

Developer

nothing happened when you got in range of a memory and pressed E?

The polish on the game is pretty insane, the shadows and light were done nicely, I liked the song, and I was intrigued by the story and memories all the way through.

Excellent!

Submitted

What a stunning little story. Beautiful visuals and thought provoking. The flow between areas and memories is nicely done as well.

Very pretty in every way. Thank you for sharing!

Good work, nice game!

Wow, it's beautiful! The physical forms of the memories remind me of soul gems from Madoka Magica. The writing is great, and I really appreciated the checkpoints---the third level took me a few tries lmao.

Amazing work!!

Submitted

wow!

I was so into the game bc of the great story cutsneces and vibe.. amazing game you did here that really got into me :) i want to make simple aesthetics but making a feeling like these

Submitted

Beautiful, beautiful game!!  Fantastic idea, beautiful implementation!  Nothing to say to improve it!!  Fantastic work, congratulations!!

I am in love with this game, this game really got you thinking about your own past and emotions.

I did come across a game-breaking bug where if you die after you enter a memory, you get spawned at the previous memory without your soul.

I can't wait to see more games like this, this by far is one of the best games I've ever seen, with the great story, amazing graphics and lighting, and of course the feeling of nostalgia from your past.

I hope to see you continue making games like this!

Cheers!
