Finding the Soul Orb

About

Finding the Soul Orb casts you as a hunter in a medieval fantasy world battling cursed beasts and figuring out environmental mysteries. Your crossbow serves dual purposes: firing bolts to take down snarling werewolves and manipulating objects to unlock paths. Combat sequences blend timed dodges and aimed shots while puzzle sections require using the weapon’s range to shift gears or trigger mechanisms. The game moves at a deliberate pace letting you experiment with solutions between encounters. Tonguç Bodur’s solo project leans into a niche but cohesive design where action and problem-solving share equal weight. The crossbow’s versatility stands out as both a combat tool and puzzle piece, a mechanic that feels consistently clever rather than forced. Released in 2020 it’s since built a modest following for its atmospheric handcrafted visuals and focused 4-hour runtime. Available on PlayStation Xbox and PC it caters to players seeking a short but tightly woven adventure without overwhelming combat or abstract puzzles.
