Grand Soul Story
Grand Soul Story by Moon Soul Games (itch.io)
A new SNES-style, indie JRPG with non-linear narrative, semi-open world, original soundtrack, 40+ hours of playtime, classic gameplay, and a multilayered story about human connection, addiction, spirituality, and choice.

After narrowly escaping a violent insurrection in your country, you are thrust into the underworld of nearby DuPont, a crumbling city-state ruled by technocrats, competing drug cartels, and a mysterious cybernetic superpower called “The Eye of God.” Joined by a scrappy crew of smugglers, alchemists, and wanderers, you venture westward to Yerdan, a distant port-city where your surviving family awaits you… hopefully.
