Lone Soul is coming on October 20th!

Hello Conquerors,

Today we have exciting news for you. Lone Soul is almost ready to ship and will launch on Steam on Monday, October 20th!

As a reminder, we're aiming for a full release on day one, no Early Access. You'll be able to explore three different biomes (so far we've only shown the first one, with more surprises coming soon), a Gate of Challenges with additional gameplay modifiers, and a full-fledged story featuring in-game cutscenes, full English voice-over, and a true ending.

To celebrate the release date, we also have a new demo update to keep you engaged and hooked until the full version arrives. Let us know what you think!

Here’s a quick summary of what’s new:

Autolock on enemies One of the recurring feedback points was that some attacks lacked precision, and certain players didn’t feel fully in control of their combos. We’ve addressed this by adding an auto lock-on system for enemies, which you can still adjust as needed. Combos should feel sharper than ever now.

Crystals reworked Through rune tree unlocks, you can gain the ability to spawn and attach crystals to enemies. When destroyed, these trigger powerful effects. We've reworked the system to better balance it with other upgrade paths, improved visibility and added the ability for crystals to move between enemies. Try it out and let us know what you think.

And of course – tons of bug fixes, QoL changes and improvements!

And remember: all of this comes on top of the massive 0.9 and 0.9.5 demo updates. If you haven’t played the demo in a while, there’s a good chance you won’t recognize the game anymore.
