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.

The deadline for the bacon jam is the end of this month, but berry and I might end up finishing before that. We'll see. There were a lot of hanging story elements left at the end of Umbral Soul, so ending the story there would have been very unsatisfying. A good story needs closure, and "different" isn't always the same thing as "good".
Hey man, hope all is going well. Glad to see your working on an ultimate edition. Still cannot wait for the sequel to pop up that's gonna be one hell of a game. I have played a lot of games on here. And still true to my word your game as indeed still been the most fun I have had.
Thanks bro, things are going dandy fine! I've been feeling inspired lately thanks in no small part to all the positive feedback I've been getting, so I'm trying to put that energy to good use. It's just really fulfilling hearing that I've accomplished my goal of trying to bring a little fun into the lives of my fellow gamers. I don't think I've ever enjoyed game making more than I do right now. There's just so much I want to do!
That's good to hear and I am sure everyone here cannot wait to see what you come up with next.
Hey, I decided to try a blind let's play of your game, and it blew me away. Only did the prologue so far but it is really good. Haha, voice acting this has given me the shivers! Got so excited I kept misspelling things >.> But got a bit better later on. Man, this was super fun. Was I allowed to swear on this, because some author wrote to not swear on a let's play but not I"m no longer sure if it was you or another author.

I also drew a fanart!

I know this is just the prologue XD But damn that was emotional, and really awesome. Very intense, I love it.

Oh my goodness, between smiling and laughing my face is killing me. I never thought anyone would be as into the game as you are, certainly not enough to be moved emotionally. I don't think there's a word to describe how unbelievably happy I am.

I'm not really in charge of the content that's allowed in let's plays, so it must've been someone else.

As long as we're talking about voice acting, yours had me in stitches. I especially loved the voices you gave Ragnarok and Syrus. You made Syrus sound 70% more evil than intended, which was great. "Being evil is difficult on my throat." My goodness, my lungs hurt a little from laughing at that one.

I am overjoyed that you're having such a good time and sincerely hope you enjoy the game all the way to the end. Sadly it's far from perfect, but if you run into any issues, just send me an email and I'll be happy to help you through them. And hey, thanks for the amazing fanart, I will treasure it forever!

Freedom of speech my friend. Who cares if you curse during a let's play? Do you know how many youtubers curse? I mean hell have you seen Shane? That guy curses around a 100 times in each of his video's. Who ever told you not to curse is just butt hurt and should mind his own business personally. The only person who can tell you not to curse in a let's play would be the creator of the game you are doing a let's play on.

About the cussing thing, I think I was browsing games and somewhere, someone said it's ok to let's play their game but asked to not curse while doing it, but it must have been a different game XD I don't like to curse on recording anyway, especially not when surrounded by great writing. it's kind of meh to do.

That prologue had some of the best writing I have seen in an rpg maker game, ever. I think it's perfectly delivered dramatic writing, from the epic final battle which includes everything a final battle should include. The hero group, their lines, their roles, heroes winning, the final boss reveals his final, ultimate form, the heroes are defeated, the hero rises up by the power of everyone who believes in him, and the evil is vanquished. On top of that it is delivered from the point of view of the evil one, which makes it a lot more interesting. You also have music which does an excellent job at supporting this.

Then we have the wonderfully written and executed scene with the little girl, which flows naturally from the earlier battle, from defeating the darkness straight to prejudice against darkness. The people who put fire to the house do not see themselves as evil, and are working for the greater good, but at the same time are evil and create evil. All of this manages to connect me with the characters on a strongly emotional level and makes me care for them, in this case the little girl and her family.

I'm happy you like the fanart ^_^

Also I had a field trip with acting as the dark one :D Very fun.
I'm glad you enjoyed the let's play (or the start of it), I plant to continue playing along so look towards more videos.

Would you like if I post further videos of the let's play in here? I'm not sure if that is allowed or not, these sites have complicated rules.

I think I was browsing and one of the authors requested to not cuss in a game's description, but I must have mixed things up. And that's what I meant, I think it was under one of the games in the game description, written by an author, but it must have been another game ^_^ Which I guess makes sense, because why would the author of a game where you play as the evil guys have a problem with people swearing XD I think it's because I got excited I ended up mixing something up. Sorry for being silly!
Meh, I'm not too strict on the cussing. All I ask is that you don't overdo it, because like you said, too much of it can detract from your narration a little. By overdoing it, I mean every other sentence containing 1-3 F-bombs. I don't think two curses on an hour and a half long video is that big a deal though, heh heh.

Writing the dialogue was a lot of fun, and I tried to get into character whenever I was writing someone's lines. Ragnarok was especially fun. But wow, I never thought anyone would enjoy it THAT much. I only hope your poor throat can survive reading it all, this game has a lot of story.

I'll be eagerly anticipating the release of your next episode. I haven't been this excited to watch something since the good ol' days of saturday morning cartoons!
I know I said I'd wait for the Ultimate edition to play this but I feel like I'm Missing out... SCREW IT! IMPATIENCE IS ONE OF MY FLAWS! *Clicks Download!*

I Gotta try this...
So Far I've recorded 3 half hour episodes which, if all goes to plan will be up sometime on Monday Wednesday and Friday This Week. Only downside is I practically destroyed my throat making all the voices... Here's hoping the second LP of your game doesn't totally suck!

Side Note, If you really thought people wouldn't enjoy the crap out of your game then your self-esteem must be lower than mine, and I think Everything I do is garbage...

Ragnarok, the destroyer of throats :D

I think my throat is still a bit tired today and also I've been recording this a bit late today, but I bring you part 2 of my let's play of your lovely game, in which I fawn over random pots and flowers XD

Two people let's playing my game? *faints* This is honestly a dream come true! A completely terrifying, nerve-wracking dream come true!

I mean, when I first started this project, I never thought it would become anything worthy of being in the public eye, and now it's on youtube. I am just completely floored by how much people are enjoying it. Well, that's enough rambling from me. Enjoy yourselves guys, I'll be looking forward to those videos, and making 17 back up copies of them so I can show them to my children's children's grandchildren.

P.S. Tangled Lion- Everything you do is garbage, huh? "The Last King of Hyrule" and its three reviews would like to have a word with you.

Except for the fact that the only levels I made for that were heavily edited to not suck... I appreciate the attempt however.

You got issues man! Your english is as special as Liliths Kiss.It captivates men and leave them in a Flabergasting Fit. I wonder how Wheelman understands you so directly.
To be fair, english is a pretty difficult language to master, and learning another language itself is pretty challenging. Even if someone's grasp on english isn't the strongest, I'm always impressed by people who have the ability to understand more than one language.

Same, ESPECIALLY if it's English, I mean I honestly think if I weren't raised in a primary English speaker I'd probably refuse to learn it based on principal, it's like a hodgepodge of the most confusing parts of every language.
