We spirits are curious things, Zero. We all have a purpose to fulfill, and each of us represents something. And I hope you can figure out what you represent, too. Guess you can figure that out while you're off putting the whole world back together.



Soma Union is a galaxy-spanning RPG that returns to the world of Soma! ...or so it would, if your planet had not been destroyed in a great calamity. As you roam through the cosmos to find the missing fragments of your home world, you'll meet a colorful cast of characters and make important choices that may not be as clear as they seem.

Look forward to the following features!

  • Embark on a galaxy-spanning quest to put your home world back together again, because this planet can't seem to catch a break, apparently.
  • Role system that changes your characters' roles in battle: Fight your enemies with the damage-dealing Power role, or enhance other party members' abilities with the Support role!
  • Unleash powerful Spirit abilities regardless of your current role to turn the tide of battle!
  • Collect valuable Power Gems to skip enemy encounters with the push of a button... or tough it out and exchange them for rare prizes!
  • Fully custom visuals. And a stellar soundtrack by SpecialAgentApe
  • 10+ hours of good ol' son-of-a-gun RPG gameplay.​
  • Funny* jokes. The heehees and the hawhaws.






Zero is a spirit living aboard the Starship Virtue. They are a shy and reluctant spirit who doesn't cause too much trouble around the ship and is usually seen doing odd jobs. Unlike the other spirits on the Virtue who all represent an emotion or an aspect, Zero is not quite sure what they are the spirit of. Given the right task, say putting Soma back together for instance, Zero might be inclined to discover that for themself.

Reca is a spry and energetic acorn residing in the Garden Dome aboard the Starship Virtue. Hoping to become the new protector of Soma's forests once it is restored, she is always seen working hard and taking charge around the ship. It might take a few good friends to keep her ambitions in check, though.

Lumen is the chief doctor and a valuable source of information aboard the Virtue, when he's in the mood to fit the job. Not quite satisfied with his life's path, Lumen might not always seem like the most pleasant person to talk to. It takes a fair amount of trust for him to open up, and perhaps there is more to him than he is willing to let on.


Soma Union is complete as of August 2021 and is now available as a free download! We hope you'll enjoy this passion project. And hey, let us know what you think of it!

Check out the OST by Agent Ape on Bandcamp!

Soma Union v1.0.8 update: Font Fix

Hello all!

Soma Union has been updated to v1.0.8. Due to reports of crashes likely caused by font rendering, the game's font has been replaced with a new font that should help alleviate this problem. This change will also help the game run a bit more smoothly overall.

If you have experienced random crashes with Soma Union, it is strongly advised that you update to v1.0.8. Otherwise, this update is optional.

Version v1.0.7 will still be available to download for players who prefer the old font style and have not experienced any crashes. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns!

Hello again! I've reached chapter 3, and so far I LOVE the game! But I have a few questions; how many endings are there, and is there a new game + in this one?

Again, I love the game, you did a great job!


Neato! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.

There are two endings in the game with some variation to each. There isn't a New Game+ feature this time, unfortunately!
Beat the game. It's really good. Found a bug where when you try to get onto the high dive again after beating the area, the freezes on a black screen. MAybe that door should become locked after beating Larry.

Nice! Glad you liked it!

I'll get that bug fixed up. Perhaps it is the true gift from Lampy Larry...
I found a passability issue where you can walk through the shops sign in Lamp Land. This is on version 1.0.2

Ouch! That's embarassing lol

Thanks for letting me know!
Hello again! I'm almost finished with the game, and I still love it. But would it be possible for you to help me reach the good ending first? I don't mind spoilers at this point, I just wish to see the good ending first. Perhaps you could hide the answer so other people won't be spoiled? Thanks again for creating this wonderful gem!

Btw I love Bright.

Sure! I'll definitely have to spoiler tag this though, so please read it at your own risk!


There are only two endings, but each one has some variation. Neither of these endings are the "good" or "true" ending. Just Ending A and Ending B, basically. You will know which one you are getting and this decision is made at the end of the game.
Oh, I see! Thank you very much! I'll be sure to enjoy the last bit of the game!
Finished the game, and I loved every bit of it. I'm curious, do you plan to make another game in the future? I would love to see more from you, as you have made some of my most favourite games. Also, is Soma Spirits/Union done for good now? Or will there be more games in that same universe?

I rate this game 5 out of 5. Congrats on finishing it!
Wow! Thank you so much for such big praise! I'm glad it was a good experience.

As for future projects: Right now, Agent Ape and I are working on a semi-sequel/spinoff to Brave Hero Yuusha called Epilogue Adventures. This is primarily Agent Ape's project and is focused a lot around customized characters/parties and collecting lots of cool items and extras. It's pretty far into development, so please look forward to it! :)

And for projects I'm leading... I'm actually taking a bit of a break for now until I figure out what I want to do next! I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to be able to do something on the scale of Soma Union again, but I'd like to keep doing smaller games here and there. I also don't think I'll be making a third Soma game, and I'd like to do something completely new.
I managed to beat the main story. The game is great overall, but it sometimes crashes in the middle of dialogue and even combat, and there's no crash log!

Spoiler for final boss:
Absolution's aesthetic throughout the duology is weird to me. It mainly takes various demonic forms or the form of a purple mask. However, it's final form looks like a teal angel. Maybe these different forms represent how Absolution has the potential to do good with its powers and nurture life, but it also has the potential to destroy all life. Maybe it used to be a benevolent angelic being before falling to evil and becoming a demon?

The final form also has six masks with different emotions, which might be related to how Form and Dissonance gathered orbs of emotion to gain its power. It makes me wonder if Absolution is actually be the source of all sentient life and emotions on Soma.
Cool! I'm glad you had an overall good time.

This is the first I'm hearing of crashes though, so I don't really know what's going on there. I'll have to look into it. Maybe there's a script I'm using that doesn't play well with certain computers...?
I think the Text Sound option might be causing the crash. I turned it off and I have yet to experience anymore crashes. My reasoning is that it's not a default feature of RMVXA and the crash only seems to happen when dialogue is displayed.
Is this going to be out on Steam at some point, like Soma Spirits: Rebalance? Or is there another way I can support you? I would love to donate to you, if that's possible. Do you have a Patreon?
Ok! Let me get caught up here.

Interesting! I'll have to keep an eye out to see if anyone else runs into this problem. If so, maybe I can swap that script out for a similar one.

Right now I don't have any plans to release the game on other platforms, but a Steam release could come later.

I'm honored you want to support the game :) If you feel that is it is worth it and only if you are able, the itchio download allows you donate if you'd like. And I'll see about dusting off my old Ko-Fi account.

You can also buy the OST on Bandcamp to support Agent Ape, the game's composer.
I see, well I hope it does release on Steam later. I would love to buy it and have it in my library along with Soma Spirits: Rebalance.

And I have bought the game over on itch.io, and I also bought the OST on Bandcamp. I hope it helps a little, I love your and Agent Ape's work!

You're magical to me.

Also grabbed the OST, this game has such an awesome soundtrack! :DDD
I have a question.

Can Absolution be good, or is it incapable of it? I know that its powers can be used for good, but what of Absolution itself?

Also, have you dusted off your old Ko-Fi account yet? :)
