Soul Light

About

Soul Light follows Kaya, a herbalist forced to confront her denied magic when her forest falls ill. You guide her through eerie woods and ancient ruins, solving environmental puzzles and battling corrupted creatures. Two companions join the journey, Hary, a loyal tribe member, and Anna, a witch with her own agenda. Their shifting dynamics add tension to the quest, blending stealth, combat, and resource management as you figure out the forest’s decay. The game’s moody visuals and quiet moments of exploration stand out, balancing action with atmospheric downtime. With a 72% critic score on Steam, players praise its eerie tone and character interactions but note pacing dips in later acts. Developed by indie studio Vorobushek, it released in August 2022 as a self-contained PC adventure. Shorter than most campaigns at 10-15 hours, it focuses on a tight story rather than open-world sprawl.
