Soulbound Odyssey

Soulbound Odyssey is a dark fantasy retro JRPG inspired by classic 8-bit adventures, reimagined with modern soulslike mechanics and an unforgiving world.

You awaken as a chosen soulbound hero referred to as the "child of light" in a land shattered by chaos. Seven demonlords rule over the world with cruelty and fear, warping reality itself. With no memories of your past, you rise against them setting out on a perilous journey to reclaim hope, uncover the truth behind your power, and end their reign once and for all.

Unlike traditional JRPGs, you do not directly control your party members. Your companions are autonomous beings with their own instincts, behaviors, and combat decisions. They fight, react, and survive on their own forcing you to adapt rather than command.

Progression is equally unconventional. There are no standard level-ups. Instead, power is earned through souls harvested from fallen enemies and consumed to grow stronger. These souls can also be shared with any companions you bring with you to strengthen them, thus taking some of the weight off your shoulders!
Every battle matters, every soul counts, and every choice carries weight.

Explore a vast, interconnected world filled with danger, secrets, and lore. Take on main quests and side quests, encounter others who have risen against the demonlords, and witness how desperation, courage, and corruption have shaped the land.
