Lying Souls - Development State and News

News

There is a lot of news about Lying Souls and we will show you the current development state.

Recently, Lying Souls was included in the list of Top Steam games in December by a gaming website. We wanted to thank you all together for that. Go to the article here

We removed the Redstack Edition of Lying Souls from the store. We decided to bring all the content of the edition into the main game.

The team size of Troxy Studios has changed. Lying Souls has actually always been a solo project, I just had help with the planning and looked for inspiration. The other team members, for example, checked my Lying Souls story for logic erros. So I am also the only developer of Lying Souls since the beginning and the others are part of the Creative Team.

We have published some very meaningful leaks about Lying Souls in the last few days, regarding the story of the game. We will continue with that now until the release.

The last news for today is that we will be ready to release Keys for YouTubers, Streamers and Curators of a preview version of the main game in the next 1-2 months. If there are still interested, get in touch with us

Development State

Now let's give you some more information about how Lying Souls is doing right now.

Right now, we are working on the game more than ever to get it ready as soon as possible. We would say that it's looking very good to release the game to you guys in the spring. It's our very first game, of which the story was created well before development.

The game will focus a lot on the storytelling and less on the "action rich" gameplay. From your feedback of the demo, we also found that the majority felt the demo for Lying Souls was less of a horror game, and more of a mystery or story game.

This will also be the focus in the main game, though we all have to say, the main game is a lot more uncomfortable and creepy than the demo. You will certainly have your moments where you feel extremely uncomfortable or scared.

One consideration on our part was also to completely adjust the chapters again. The current state is that there are 5 chapters. The first one is the prologue. Now we consider to reduce the number of chapters and thus also the contents of all chapters again to adapt. The prologue and maybe 2 more chapters so you can split the game.

Also the development of the Achievements has progressed. Currently there are 7 Achievements. The number will surely increase until the release. This is also a good reason to go on an achievement hunt after you have finished the game. There were already speedruns in our demo. Maybe also in the finished game.

Here we have a new screenshot from the game for you. This scene will tell you a lot in the game and make you think.

Now we have been sent another picture, however we have no idea what this is about. We are forced to post it:

The next days there will be more new screenshots on the store page and also again more information. Until then we wish you a nice day, have a nice christmas time and we will see you again next time!
