About Soulmask
Campfire Studio launched Soulmask on May 31, 2024, as a primitive survival sandbox available on PC. You play as the last person blessed with a mysterious mask in a world full of strange faiths. The goal is simple yet brutal. Start from zero, explore a wild land, and build a settlement from scratch. You recruit tribesmen to join your clan and fortify your base against threats. The game blends role-playing elements with heavy simulation mechanics. It supports single-player runs or massive multiplayer sessions where you can team up with others. This title dropped into an early access market hungry for deep survival systems. It aims to let players carve out a path to ascension while uncovering hidden truths behind ancient civilizations.
Gameplay
Your day involves gathering resources like wood and stone before constructing shelters and tools. The core loop relies heavily on managing your growing clan of NPCs who work independently once assigned tasks. You control them directly or set patrol routes to secure territory. Combat feels weighty, requiring you to dodge attacks while swinging weapons or using the mask's powers. You can explore vast wilderness areas to find rare materials or stumble upon ancient ruins. The multiplayer mode allows dozens of players to coexist in the same world. You trade goods with other clans or raid them for supplies. Building a base requires careful planning because resources deplete if you do not manage your population correctly. Sessions often stretch for hours as you optimize your village layout and train new recruits for battle.
What Players Think

Critics note that the crafting mechanics feel authentic compared to other survival games on the market. Some players report long session times exceeding 15 hours per day during peak periods. The price has fluctuated, with a historical low of $26.99 currently available for $14.99 at Green Man Gaming.
PlayPile's Take
Soulmask is worth playing if you enjoy complex colony simulators mixed with open world exploration. The current $14.99 price point makes it an accessible entry into the early access market. You will spend roughly 40 hours mastering the mechanics before seeing real progress. The achievement list offers dozens of milestones for those who want to optimize their clan efficiency. This title is not for players who want a linear story or quick victories. It demands patience and strategic thinking to survive the harsh environment. The multiplayer mode adds longevity, but solo players can still find ample content in the survival loops. Skip this if you hate managing NPC schedules or dealing with buggy early access mechanics.
