About the game

Soul Searching is a narrative survival game about sailing the sea on a small boat. You can learn about stories of people living on islands, discover dragons, catch fish, customize your boats, find ghosts, cast magic spells, and more.

Inspired by Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea series and movies like Life of Pi, Soul Searching is about growing up, leaving your homeland, standing on your own feet. It deals with themes like isolation, searching for meaning and direction, leading to depression and suicidal thoughts.

Made by a one man team spanning 3 years of development, Soul Searching is a very personal game. It tries exciting story-telling methods to convey feelings rarely conveyed in games. Since all code, art, music, everything is made by one person, it is said to offer a special sense of authorship hard to find in other games.

Other than the single player mode, game also offers local randomly generated mode from 1 to 4 players. This will offer replay value and require players to work together to survive. More players, more need for resources, so more challenge, but more skills to gather resources to survive.

Features:

• Around 3 hours of single player mode
  
• Random mode for 1 to 4 players that randomly generates a map and requires players to work together to survive
  
• Extensive soundtrack
  
• Creatures at sea: dragons, killer whales, and more

• Magic skills that let you survive on sea more easily
  
• Player appearance customization (including gender and sexual interest customization)
  
• Day night cycle that affects gameplay in subtle ways
  
• English and Turkish language support
