You’ll want to get ready for a bone-chilling experience as Jukai Studio and Versus Evil team up to bring you Stray Souls – the ultimate psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Slated to be released on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC later this year, in Stray Souls you play as Daniel, a teenage boy who has inherited his grandmother’s home. As he moves in, he meets Martha, a mysterious woman who seems to know more about the house than she lets on. As the night falls, dark secrets and repressed memories start to unravel. And Daniel soon realises that he cannot outrun his past.
In Stray Souls you’ll need to get ready to embark on a spine-tingling journey that combines the best elements of Japanese survival horror games with an array of new tricks, including randomised systems where enemy encounters, item placement, paranormal activity, and even weather patterns are constantly changing. With the power of Metahuman technology and Unreal Engine 5, characters and environments come to life, immersing you in the harrowing narrative of Stray Souls.
“We think it’s good to embrace a little evil sometimes, and it has been a pleasure to work with Jukai Studio to bring their contemporary Japanese style thriller to life,” said Steve Escalante, General Manager of Versus Evil. “Stray Souls pays homage to classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill whilst bringing its own spin on the genre with new technological innovations. This is a game built by people that know horror, from a veteran dev team who have worked on other titles such as Blair Witch, The Medium, Visage, and Road to Hollow Hills – it’s built by horror fans for horror fans.”
