Stray Souls

About

Stray Souls is a third-person action-horror game set in the creepy town of Aspen Falls. You play Daniel, a teenager dragged into a mess of family secrets after inheriting his grandmother's house. A strange woman shows up with answers, and danger follows. The game mixes combat against gross enemies with clever puzzles that twist the story. You’ll explore decaying homes, dark woods, and eerie basements while fighting off monsters and piecing together why everyone seems to hate your family. The combat has a souls-like sharpness, requiring timing and caution. The story leans into classic horror tropes but keeps you guessing with red herrings and unexpected turns. Early community feedback highlights the game’s tense atmosphere and how characters often lie or hide things. It’s a slow-burn scarefest with 10+ hours of figuring out mysteries, currently sitting at 8.2/10 on Steam. Cooperative play is oddly labeled here, but this feels like a solo dread trip.

Storyline
