Unlike most traditional RPG’s in the past, Soulwake will be set in the modern world. A world no different than ours, that is rapidly approaching something unprecedented that will change the course of history forever. Some believe this is what the Bible talks about, while others think it’s the beginning of the new age. The ancient Mayans devised a calendar of the universe that ended in the year 2012 that would be marked as a time of spiritual enlightenment. By focusing on a game that revolves around this topic I’m hoping to establish a closer connection with the player and the hero. Soulwake will discuss various spiritual issues and the seemingly deteriorating state it's world is heading into.


Soulwake is based in our world and the player starts off in America. Party members will range in all races and social classes. Through the first few hours of gameplay, the world is changing at an incredible rate. The war in Iraq has exploded into an uncontrollable religious war that engulfs the entire middle east compelling world leaders to bring a greater sense of unity, an internal revolution is flaring in the midst of America, weather patterns are changing significantly, war sparks among other nations, a biological attack on the USA kills thousands while at the same time mutating and transforming man and animal alike leaving wastelands of zombies, hybrids, and chimeras, leaving much of the rest of the country under martial law and forcing millions to fend for themselves against these creatures, a meteor crashes into the pacific ocean plunging mankind into even deeper chaos and questioning why their maker hasn't saved them yet. A spiritual force known as kundalini is adopted by the mainstream as the only hope mankind has to overcome this hell, but sadly many choose to abuse this power, plunging the world into deeper chaos. This confusion opens the gate for a sinister dictatorship that relies on deception and fear to control the world and bring about a new order.


You journey through this scenario meeting friends and allies that will help you survive in this world and eventually you discover the secret behind this deception and with your band of rebels you will fight this twisted dictatorship and stop at nothing to get the truth out. It’s a world where nothing is what it seems and EVERYONE is against you.

I assume Terry has armour and a sword because he's got delusions yeah, but why does Kayla have a knife?

It's interesting how you incorporated current events into your game. The premise of the game sounds unique and well thought out. Good luck with your game.

well first off she's emo come on lol, and it's an rpg she's gotta have a weapon of some sort, you don't start off with weapons and go around killing monsters at the very beginning or anything like that, the modern world is slowly transformed into a post-apocalyptic land where of course youve gotta fight to survive

Interesting concept. I love post-apocalytic settings. I think the meteor crash is a bit much, though. The world has already gone to hell, the meteor seems to be overkill to me, unless it is meant to be something integral to the story.

Nice character artwork, too. The main character seems a bit too much of an everyman, but I'm guessing from the start of your post that is how you intend for him to be perceived. Kayla's design is awesome, she looks cute but dangerous at the same time. Bit like a Kayla I once went out with!

haha thanks for the critique sol_fury, i'll take everyones thoughts into consideration while making this game. it's gonna be alot different than most rpgs but hopefully that will be the appeal of the game! Later

This game looks very interesting, don't find too many RPGs set in the very near future (Just 5 years away)

It's been said already, but the character artwork is great
