Embrace the Shadows: Unravel the Legacy of Kain and the Soul Reaver
In a world fractured by betrayal, Raziel, the fallen wraith, seeks vengeance against Kain, his creator. Armed with spectral powers and the ability to shift realms, he unravels the tapestry of fate, confronting dark truths woven into his very existence.
The game features a unique mechanic where protagonist Raziel can consume the souls of defeated enemies, which was inspired by the developer's desire to create a soul-harvesting gameplay element that set it apart from traditional action-adventure games.
The game's voice acting, particularly for the character Kain, was performed by renowned actor Simon Templeman, who brought a theatrical flair that contributed to the series' cult status.

Alright. Bean the game now. Previous comment still stands. The concepts in the game are great. The setting is fun. I like that there are multiple endings - but I continued to experience being unable to deviate from 'the path'. I wouldn't have minded the game letting me fail more outright, and punishing me for it.
That being said; It's a gem. There's not a lot else quite like it, and I'm happy I've played it. Looking forward to whatever the developer does next.
This is a fun indie gem. Visual Novel, slight choose your own adventure (so far). 10 Hours in currently. The premise and world is really interesting, and the type of scenario I wanted after reading Permutation City by Greg Egan. Dealing with mind/consciousness, and AI. Topics I like exploring.
Biggest downsides so far are that it's quite wordy. The English translation has issues now and then. So far is it doesn't feel like I can actually make very many impactful choices. I can sometimes, but even if I do 'all the things I'm absolutely not supposed to do', the game steers me back to being successful. So more like an interactive story so far; though I know there are supposed to be multiple endings.
Absolutely loving playing through this right now. If you like the old-school combat/puzzle mix that quite a few old jpgs have - this game is gonna blow you away. Dungeons, puzzles, bosses, nice progression - it's a love letter in the best sense of the phrase. Worth every penny and then some.
