Soul Astray is a challenging (yet whimsical) puzzle-precision platformer that subtly and playfully touches on the struggle to find direction in one's life.
Difficulty: A minimal tutorial followed by learn-as-you-fail levels that demand creativity.
Planning: Use the game's unique Planning Mode that encourages first-try success.
Health Tokens: You're an immortal soul that can survive without health, but the tokens might be useful elsewhere...
Reset Tokens: If you find yourself stuck due to an earlier misstep, use these limited tokens to restart the level.
Goodness Meter: The purity of your soul is tracked, show them (who?) that you have more than just a good heart.
Lamps: Sacrifice soul fragments to light the lamps in your path, a gift to help guide other lost souls. If you find a lamp already lit, accept the gift for a unique power.
Trinkets: Collect trinkets in hard-to-reach places to remind yourself who you are + alter game outcomes.
Secrets: Unexpected secrets encourage you to make choices that can alter your end-goal.
You watch them ascend around you... what will you sacrifice to keep up?
