The Wicked Souls is a Metroidvania with a strong focus on an exciting and imaginative story. Explore the mysterious tower in the afterlife with the postman Bones and his mischievous companion Dietrich and uncover its secrets.


In the afterlife, there are all kinds of important things that need to be done. Great heroes, the reapers, embark on perilous adventures in a life between the two worlds. But behind the scenes there is a system that needs to run smoothly and there are people who keep it going. As a postman, little Bones is only responsible for delivering letters, but when he comes across a mysterious lantern, all of a sudden the fate of his entire world is in his hands. A battle between good and evil seems inevitable, as does the question of what “good and evil” actually mean. Bones has a decision to make, with monumental implications …



Our aim is to put together a balanced gameplay with story passages, puzzles, combat and platforming sequences. Over the course of the story, Bones will be able to improve and expand on his abilities in the skill tree. Decisions made in the quests can have a crucial impact on how the game continues, as can the different playing styles in the combat mechanics. Together with Bones, you can explore a large, networked game world and discover what adventures it has in store. Our community is extremely important to us, so we want you to help us to improve. Fans of our project will be involved in development early on and kept up to date on all new developments directly.
