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.

Damn guillaume, you post a lot. In fact you post so much, I don't think you realize the concept of notifications. Like, about 70 people will get a notification everytime a person posts on this game page. (because if you scroll up, you´ll see this game has 70 subscribers) My daily routine, and maybe a dozen people here as well, has become reading whatever it is that you typed that day.
Now, I´m not saying don't post, post all you need to. Your love for the game is authentic, and the game rightfully deserves all the love it can get. But what I am saying is, just don't do it too much, and if you really need to contact Wheel, use private messages. And if he doesn't respond in time, just wait. Patience goes a long way. That said, I see you edited your last post, so progress has been made. Yay to progress!

Be careful dude, posting more than one time in a row is against the site rules, and it looks like you have 3 there. If you want to add something before someone had posted after your latest post, you can edit your previous post and add to it. I just don't want the powers that be dropping the hammer on you.
Heh nope, sorry. The only orbs in the games are key items, and they shouldn't be able to be bought or sold. I've fixed the second issue you mentioned for the ultimate version. Strangely enough, I like the slime quest the way it is now. It's designed so that the player won't grind up draughts and become super OP until a certain point in the game.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to scrambling for my life to get this bacon jam project done.
Been trying to avoid multi-posting myself. Which wasn't too hard, cause it's easier to post less.
I've been playing further and you know, sometimes there are stories written in such a way that they move me emotionally at a really deep level, this are rare gems to me, and your game certainly has done that many times. Just went through the 3 Serene dungeon scenarios an oh my, that was emotionally powerful.
That aside, I have 4 more videos of the let's play here

I think I already have a backlog of like 20 episodes, but uploading many hours daily just isn't a great idea, so it has to be this way. Btw this game is really long, my save file already shows like 37 hours. I mean, I know I have been taking my sweet time, milking every single piece of dialogue I can find, but I am curious how long this game is. I guess if I were to deduce from the amount of locations, then I think I only have like hmm, a few more locations to explore. I think there are the two forests, the demon's gauntlet which is still closed, the capital city, that other place west of Reddin and I think there was still one cave or something. So it would seem I am slowly getting closer to the finish line? But I'd predict that with my current pace I still have at least 15 more hours to go. That is, unless there are many other locations beside the human realm which I don't yet know about. I am convinced by now that this is the most impressive rpg maker game I've seen. And the amount of detail and length, and the quality of writing, easily compares to the best cult rpgs I've played.
Writing which can get me invested and move me emotionally was always something that I care very strongly about, and your game delivers splendidly. You are an excellent writer.
I agree with what you mentioned earlier that the version that I'm playing may encourage a bit too much grinding. I've been grinding quiet a bit just to get my various summons up to level 20 when pandora is level 30. And it's even more so because some of the summons require a lot more exp to level up than the human characters do.
Also, demora's party status shielding skill feels way overpowered. It's hard to justify using any other summon for group battles when demora can immunize all statuses, and on top of that with another skill to reflect spells, it's pretty extreme. Also managed to trap demora once in an infinite loop battle between her and the mosquito in the arena, it reminded me of the epic pokemon magicarp vs magicarp battle ;p I cast the regeneration thing on demora, her attack is super week, every turn she auto heals, the mosquito attacks her for about 70 damage (and heals itself with it), battle goes on forever, neither of them can outdamage the constant regeneration, there is no way to get any of the killed. I got bored of it after about 15 minutes ;p had to restart the game to stop it, but it was pretty funny.
But it will take a bit of time before I get to upload those episodes ;p
The power balancing is a bit weird. I think so far the battle against Odin was the hardest, but then the heroes were fairly simple, and then the thief after that was super easy and gave me less exp. Doesn't stop the game from being amazing. Haha, I hope the ending isn't to depressing cause all the characters are pretty lovable, both the protagonists and the antagonists, well, most of them.

Alright, it's comment addressing time! I've been meaning to do this for a while.
Abraxas- Awesome! It's always great to hear that people are enjoying themselves. The main characters are pretty evil, but I thought it would be interesting to show the player why they're evil, so they can empathize a bit. Glad that approach seems to be paying off.
guillaume- The interactions between characters aren't really vital to the story. In fact, the sequel is set up so you won't even had to have played this game to understand it. The experience will be a lot less enjoyable if you don't though. I don't have a release date in mind, since they force me to rush. I've learned that when it comes to making games, I absolutely hate rushing.
Funny story, I don't think I've ever actually played a visual novel, so I can't say whether I like or dislike them.
dasgibtesnet- I don't think anyone, even you, would be crazy enough to try fighting the Kraken with two party members. That would be insane. Don't worry, just because I don't plan on making a demo, it doesn't mean I won't have beta testers. I'm going to test the sequel into the ground.
OwMeEye-I get more and more flabbergasted each time you post, dude. I never thought my writing was all that good, but for you to have enjoyed it that much, I feel like I could do endless cartwheels of joy right now. Chances are that by the time you face the final boss, you'll be able to kill it by sneezing in its general direction.
Watching your let's plays has given me some ideas on how to change things, particularly when it comes to exp and drops. Someone else mentioned Demora's ridiculously OP reflect spell, and I've greatly increased the amount of MP it uses. I'm keeping her immunity move though, I like it too much. You used her in a tournament? That's hilarious considering she has basically no offense whatsoever. I'm looking forward to that vid.
I'm surprised people are breezing through that hero battle. I suppose it's because you all keep GRINDING WHEN YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO. *ahem* I'll have to adjust that battle as well. Nothing too extreme mind you, I don't want to end up going from too easy to too hard. I'm looking forward to seeing how you react to the ending. Just thinking about it makes me smile.
Phew! Ok, is that everyone? I think that's everyone. I am 76% sure I got everyone.

First time commenting on any game ever on this site but i felt like this game deserves to be talked about. I just finished it after 3 days of pure addiction, I feel reinvigorated after having played such a great RPG game.
After having waited for this game to come out for a lot of months I could barely contain myself from screaming like a little girl while waiting for the download to finish.
Honestly I cant praise this game enough, definitely one of the best RPG maker games I have ever experienced right next to Nocturne: Rebirth and Vampires Dawn 1+2!
It took me about 18 hours of gametime with no need to grind anything besides the sidequests which were compelling and not a drag whatsoever. I only wish there was more but I might replay it in the future to see what I missed out on.
The great soundtrack and the sound effects really added to the whole game experience.
I am really excited for a sequel and looking forward to hearing more from you!

Wow Freelander, thanks for using your first comment to visit my humble little game. I feel honored! I never could have dreamed this game would be received so well. I was actually afraid the public wouldn't enjoy it, but then again I'm my own worst critic. Still, hearing that you and so many other people enjoyed it so much makes all the work worth it. I'm too happy for words right now.
I'm extremely excited for the sequel, as I have a lot of ideas I'd like to make into a reality and share with everyone. I can only hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as you did with this game. Thanks again, you made my day.

Hey there Wheelman, just passin' to greet and give support to you and your progress.
I'll be waiting for that sequel mate.
Also
With all that said, I hope you have a good day any day Wheeldude.
Cheers!
I'll be waiting for that sequel mate.
Also
When will you release that Ultimate Edition? I can't wait to play the Ultimate one, let alone for the sequel, but then again forcing you to release them is a fatal idea, so don't rush em!
With all that said, I hope you have a good day any day Wheeldude.
Cheers!

Hey thanks man, your encouragement really means a lot! The ultimate edition is coming along nicely. There's a certain something I'm adding that is taking up the bulk of the production time, but I think it'll be worth the effort once it's done. I look forward to showing you the results. Stay cool double M, cheers right back at ya buddy!
Please don't make the protagonist of the next game an awfully generic male knight that defeats and redeems all the characters that we have got to know and love in this game + Pandora falls in love with him + he seals away Ragnarok in the final battle.
That would totally destroy the awesome world that you have built in this game.

Nooo! My master plan! I mean...I definitely wasn't going to do that. Not at all. *whistles inconspicuously*
Seriously though, I think you'll find the way the sequel's story unfolds interesting. Thinking about it gets me even more excited.
XD
Sorry if I came out a little strong with my comment, but i really liked your game and that last scene with the knights scared me that you were going for a very cliched direction in the sequel.
Guess I'll trust you on this one.
Good luck and keep up the good work! Can't wait for more

I haven't finished the game yet so this may be a ridiculous idea, but I think Pandora might still be the Protag for the sequel... Of course that all depends on the ending(I.E If she dies), so who knows how valid this may be! No matter what I'm on board... Unless you suddenly regress to the intellect of a five-year-old...
Also, my next 3 episodes may have some... Embellishments that will cause extreme cringe to anyone who has already played the game... Sorry in advance.

I bring you two more parts of the let's play, part 24 and 25
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzO59dQROwE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPY9i3WQC8k
This aside, I have just finished playing this game. I did a long playing session of 10 hours and finished it up, I think with about 56 h clocked on the save file. The ending was amazing as expected.
I watched through most of the bedroom scenarios, the only ones I didn't watch were, i think, The two greyger scenarios with him and with the other succubus. And one or two scenarios with Azriele.
Also, I found all the scenarios except the second scenario on the first page, any help on where I can get that scenario?
I completed the final battles in the castle with pandora at lv 37. The battle against athena was rendered extremley easy once i switched from lanith(only used her for story's sake really) to demora(she makes every battle easy). Use magic reflect every turn and athena kills herself super easily. Clashes a little bit with the dramatic plot when pandora says how she can't defeat athena, but in both phases she can be easily defeated by just having Demora constantly cast the anti magic.
Castle was a bit unfinished, and what was with the angel construct defending an empty bedroom? I guess it's the unfinished part of the game? There was also a glitchy sprite of some guy inside the castle, you'll see on the video XD.
Nonetheless I went back proceeded to the final battle and it was pretty great. Although I agree that more closure would be nice with the heroes in the dungeon, the nun and guy who was sent to roam the abyss, or even something like, lanith finding out what happened to her little sister, so things like that would be really nice.
That said, the game was amazing, and the ending was pretty great. The after-ending made me feel sorry for Lumielle, hope we get to help her out in the next game? :)
For the whole game I was very invested in the characters and the story too, including a bunch of the npc's. It also posed some fun philosophical questions, which is always nice.
Will take me a while before I get to upload all the videos.

Enlightenment- To be fair, you DID say please. I've invested too much time and effort into this game to end the story in a lackluster fashion, so don't you worry. Thanks for the encouragement, every little bit helps!
Tangled Lion- Hey, anything's possible. I suppose the only way to find out how things go is to play the sequel. Shameless advertising for the win! Bwahaha!
Owmeeye- 56 hours?! Holly molly man that's insane! The second scenario is unlocked by...
Yes, the game is in desperate need of rebalancing, and I've already modified Demora to make her less game breaking. It's funny, you and TangledLion's playstyles are like night and day. You grind a lot and carefully scour the world, becoming overleveled, and he moves much more quickly, becoming underleved. It's actually pretty hilarious, and extremely useful for me as a developer, trying to find that perfect difficulty balance. Several of the bosses could afford to be stronger, and I've already adjusted them for the ultimate edition.
As for the castle...
Ah, you want closure, huh? That's perfect! I designed the story so there would be a lot of loose ends hanging story-wise. All of those loose ends will be tied up in the sequel, with several of them becoming major story arcs. I didn't want to dump everything interesting about the story into one game.
Yours and TangledLion's videos inspire me to improve this game, so thank you both! I had more than a few good laughs tonight thanks to them.

Opening the treasure chest on Marcus' room in Lindale. If you already beat Rallen's tower, it becomes locked permanently.

That rogue NPC was a testing event that I somehow managed to miss. You're supposed to defeat the two light construct bosses on opposite ends of the castle to unlock the final barrier, but talking to the NPC unlocks it immediately.
