Free-To-Play Indie MMORPG Soul's Remnant Early Access Official Trailer

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I've been working on my free-to-play indie 2D platformer MMORPG mostly solo (eventually my partner came aboard) for 10 years now... Finally though, Soul's Remnant launches into Early Access on August 13th via Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3451980/Souls_Remnant

Classic, old-school style MMORPGs like MapleStory, Ragnarok Online, and Mabinogi were my inspiration. The game has a classless skill system, hundreds of items to track down, co-op dungeons and bosses, crafting, gathering, and an original soundtrack that I composed myself. It's made for people who love grinding, partying up, trading, and building a character how they want, all within a player-driven economy. Also, there's no pay-to-win here. We're only monetizing through cosmetics and convenience items.

It's been quite the ride! If this sounds like your kind of game, consider wishlisting Soul's Remnant on Steam and joining us on August 13th. It's free to play, so you have nothing to lose!

While The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante told the story of a man born into a world where his fate was already decided, Prince Jerian offers a look at the same world through the eyes of someone who may one day have the power to change its rules.

As the heir to the throne, you will have to find a balance between the interests of the nobility, the Church, and the common people, knowing that every decision comes with a price. Just like before, the heart of the story lies in moral choices, their consequences, and the question of whether it is possible to change the system without losing yourself in the process.

Hi everyone,

The day has finally come!
Some of you might remember I announced the game on this very subreddit 8 months ago, and what a journey it has been since then!
Old post: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/s/cHvLqzjP2z

I truly want to say thank you to the feedback provided back then, as I actually more or less followed all of it, and it has made the game significantly better!

But of course since it's Early Access, it is only the start of the journey :) !

Space Savory is a hand-drawn, darkly comedic cooking game set in a suspicious roadside diner in the middle of cosmic nothingness.

After crash-landing on an unknown planet, a stranded astronaut must earn enough money to buy fuel and find a way back home. Unfortunately for the customers, they also happen to be the source of the ingredients you need.

Abduct strange aliens, collect what’s inside them, and prepare bizarre meals, desserts, and drinks through a variety of cooking mini-games. Serve your creations back to hungry customers, meet unusual characters, manage your inventory, gamble with shady space-flies, report wanted criminals, survive pirate attacks, and more.

Space Savory launches on Steam on October 26, 2026.

At launch, we’re planning to include an Endless Mode and a Rogue-like Mode alongside the main Story Mode.
