How it feels

You drift through a quiet, pixelated world with minimal direction, piecing together stories and discovering islands at your own pace.

What players say

Players are split on Soul Searching: some find its sailing and survival mechanics tedious and the ending rushed, while others praise the atmosphere, soundtrack, and minimalist art as a contemplative experience about depression and life. The lack of manual saving is a common complaint.
