Over two hundred years ago, the five heroes defeated the god of darkness; Ragnarok, in a climactic struggle for the fate of the world. Banished back to the realm of darkness known as the Abyss, the threat of the evil god had finally been put to rest once and for all...or so they thought.

Umbral Soul follows the story of Ragnarok’s loyal servant, Pandora, who joins her master in a quest to conquer the world and reclaim his lost power. In order to shroud the world in eternal darkness, they will have to find and recruit new allies, build an army of powerful monsters, and raise a force strong enough to crush anyone who dares to oppose them. Heroes, generals and rival overlords all stand against them. Do you have the power to make the world yours?



Pandora
A powerful dark sorceress with the ability to call forth monsters from the Abyss and enslave them to her will. Her burning hatred for the world and its people leads her to follow Ragnarok with unwavering loyalty.

Ragnarok
The god of darkness, who seeks dominion over the human realm. Once an extremely powerful being in the form of a monstrous demon, he has now been reduced to a mere soul. He wishes to plunge the entirety of the human realm into darkness, in part out of spite for his counterpart; the goddess of light, Lumielle.

Lanith
Beautiful, deadly, and self absorbed to a tee, Lanith is a succubus with a never ending hunger for the lifeforce of men. Having served under Pandora since she was only a child, she has a knack for getting under her skin, and does so whenever the opportunity arises.

Damien
A deeply twisted and sadistic young man, Damien loves nothing more than manipulating others and watching them squirm. While he has kept his true nature a secret, Ragnarok’s uprising marks the perfect opportunity for him to cut loose and have some fun...by killing as many enemies as possible.

Azrielle
The lord of all demons, who is fiercely loyal to Ragnarok and possesses an extreme, seething hatred for humanity. After failing to aid his master in conquering the world the first time, he has no intention of repeating the same mistakes again.

I'm back, baby!

Hey everybody, hope you've been doing well. I'm pleased to say I was just recently discharged from rehab, so at long last after over a month I'm home. They ran a whole lot of tests on me and I had several surgeries, so I am finally no longer in danger of croaking. That means I'm finally free to double down on game development, when I'm not stuck sitting in some doctor's office that is. Thank you all for your well wishes, they went a long way towards improving my mental health through that strenuous time. Welp, that's enough chatter. I've got some game making to do.

Hey can someone help a idiot here,
My quest is to talk with azrille but i can only recruit him onto my team. So how do I exactly 'talk' with him ?
Pfft, you're no idiot. Azrielle should be in his throneroom. The only thing I can think of that might interfere with him joining you is if you managed to glitch Gryger into your party too early.
Yh, I played the game again without taking with gryger and it worked, thanks a bunch !
I finished the game in about 30 hr and have really loved the story, thought the game was relatively easy ( probably because you wanted to focus on the story more ). And maybe if you are still working on the game it would be really cool if you could add something after end game dialogues with all the characters and stuff tho this is just a rant on something even I don't know. But in short thanks for making such a wonderful game !
Hello Wheelman! This is one of the best rpgs I've played (and I'm a picky person when it comes to rpgs)! I absolutely loved the story and can't wait to play the sequel (figuratively of course, I'll wait as long as neccessary. massive props Wheelman for still working on the game despite all your troubles.)

Pros:
Awesome story, great job at making both the light and dark sides neither wrong nor right and actually just as bad as each other.
Great characters, some may need a little more exploration but they're clearly far more complex than good/evil which makes them more relatable. This is made even better by the scenario's. There's 3 scenes that hit my feels the most: Damien's and Marcus' discussion in "calm before the storm", Lanith dying on Pandora after which she ressurects her despite Ragnarok's protests and Azrielle's speech to his subjects after the Kyubirin attack.
The summoning mechanic and the sidequests to hunt down summons is fun and unique.
The unique interactions between party members and seeing the way each of the characters reacts to the situation and the other party members present brings a lot more life into the game. I replayed every story event with every possible party combinations. My favorites are Damien and Marcus (for the feels of regret), Azrielle and Gryger (for the sass and violence) and Damien and Gryger (for the humor).

Cons (honestly from what I have seen these will all be resolved when Ultimate is released):
Some slight mistakes in grammar but nothing too bothersome actually (I probably made grammar mistake as I'm writing this so no biggie).
The mapping like others have already told you.
Getting 100% can be a little tough without a guide (I curse the vampire music room puzzle).

Questions (which you may or may not answer, choice is yours):
Are you developping Ultimate and Luminous Soul simultaneously and will they be released at the same time or is your focus currently on one or the other?
In "Serene Grace, three" Serene gave love advice to Grelda, will she actually succeed in winning Azrielle's heart? On that same note will Owen discover the truth behind Mira and still love her.
Did Athena survive? If she did I expect her to go full psycho and even try and kill the heroes.
Will we see Perseus again after he escaped?
Will Serene finally reach Pandora?
In the Blightsoul mausoleum there's a room where the ancient demons rest and upon investigation Ragnarok, who had been very quiet the entire quest, reacted a little more tame than when he usually speaks. Is this a hint to important lore for Ragnarok or am I simply reading too much into this?
Supposedly there's a queen of fairies in the dark fairy village. Will the heroes meet her?
Is there any use to the bank in Arcfall?
What's the story behind Pandora's chimera? We have backstories for Lanith and Draconus but where did that beast come from?

I believe that's everything and if I do find the need to rant about any more then I'll probably write another post.
Once again: great work and I greatly look forward to playing the sequel someday.
Thus concludes my probaly chaotic review of Umbral Soul, thanks for reading this far.
Hey Wheelman, just checking in. How goes your health and progress?
Wheelman,are you alright? You been inactive for months and there was none post from you these months,I really hope you alright out there
NOBODY PANIC, I'M STILL ALIVE! Welcome my friends, to the mother of all late comments. Thank you for coming. The tickets were free, so if you paid anything for them, you've been scammed. I will of course address everyone's comments individually.

A_Tomio- Hey hey, congrats on beating the game! Thirty hours, you say? I'm willing to bet you absolutely obliterated the final boss. I was level 20 when I did it as a point of reference. You may be pleased to hear that I've been buffing a lot of the bosses for the ultimate edition, but not so much as to make them too overwhelming. To tell you the truth, I would've loved to make a postgame, but it would've been difficult to make appropriate movesets and enemies considering where the story ends. Glad to hear you enjoyed it though! The next version will have more content, so hopefully you'll enjoy it even more.


Tacodie- Yo Tac, sorry for the insanely late reply, but if by chance your interest isn't a shambling zombie of its former self, I'd be happy to send you the answers you're looking for through your inbox. Although just a heads up, it might spoil some things about the sequel for you, as all your questions will be answered there. I will say however, that the ultimate edition and Luminous have been developed side by side, though I've been more focused on the ultimate edition for a while now. I have a tendency to be a bit overambitious, but hopefully it'll end up paying off. Ultimate is definitely being released before Luminous though.


scourge and ignotop- Thanks for your concern guys, and I'm sorry if I made you worry. My health...honestly could be better, but I'm not in danger of croaking or anything. Been getting some pretty bad side effects from dialysis but nothing life threatening. Also been working on getting a new kidney and having surgery on my legs to correct their blood flow, so if all that happens I'll be good as new.

I'd like to apologize to everyone for my long bout of silence, but I can assure you you're all going to be stuck with me for a long time to come. As always, thanks so much for your patience, kind words and continued interest in the game. I've been going through a very difficult time in my life for what's going on three years now, what with the medical issues, but you guys have brought me a lot of joy in spite of it, and I want you to know I'll always be grateful. Thanks a million, peeps!

Wheelman! Glad to hear you're... managing? Something along those lines? I wish you the best with all your upcoming medical procedures and hope your health issues will soon be of no concern anymore. I'm also pleased to tell you that my interest for the game, sequel, story and everything still burns hotter than Azzy's flames. No shambling zombies here, they all perished in the fire. So I will take answers if you provide them, nevermind the spoilers. (I'm pretty sure Luminous Soul will still have plenty of surprises either way)
In terms of overambition, I'm sure you'll do great, no pressure. I'm eager to see what you're cooking but take your time. Gotta wait for the oven to heat up before you put in the pizza, if that makes any sense.

Hey mate, glad to see you are still around. Thanks for the amazing work you are doing, we all love your projects so far. Health always comes first, so just make sure you are ok before doing any hard work.
Hey wheel man! We were getting worried over here dude! But glad to hear you're managing! Do not be sorry for not responding, your life and health comes above everything and you're already a pro for keeping up here for so much time. Wish you the best and that you may heal!
Glad your still here Wheelman. I still check this thread every six months to see if the sequel is out, your game was that much fun and interesting man.
le jeu est trop facile je suis jamais mort de tout ma parti. les systeme invocation est inutile vu tu peut rouler sur le jeu niveau 30 et toujours prendre la meme créatures. Les maps sont belle et histoire intéressante. total 6 sur 10. jespere que la suite saurra plus dur
I still check RPGmaker.net just to see how Umbral Soul is doing.

I'm not intensely invested in the sequel or ultimate edition, I've gotten all the enjoyment I could ever want from Umbral Soul anything more is gravy, but it just feels nice to see people like the game and the updates from the developer. I hope you get better!
