  • Summary: It is the year 2155, and life on earth has become unsustainable: the environmental situation is in a terrible condition. For the sake of survival, humans are forced to transfer their souls into a robotic body developed by the large neuro-technological company ION. After an unexpectedIt is the year 2155, and life on earth has become unsustainable: the environmental situation is in a terrible condition. For the sake of survival, humans are forced to transfer their souls into a robotic body developed by the large neuro-technological company ION. After an unexpected accident, the protagonist L-064N awakes in one of the robotic bodies remembering nothing, but with the only information of being rescued by ION in a pitiful condition. Now his mind and soul are in an android body without the ability to communicate, but with technological functions far superior to those of his human body.

    System of Souls is a first-person puzzle-platformer. Throughout a series of tests, L-064N will discover with Aura, an overdeveloped AI, the neurotechnology facilities of ION and the events that have led him to his current path. The story seems to be based on a simple explanation, but the player will gradually discover the feelings and experiences of other robotic beings like him which will lead to a path of doubts regarding the truth you have been told

    L-064N will acquire and improve different skills as he progresses through the retrieval modules which explore different aspects of memory such as ideas, personality, or feelings. These retrieval modules will allow L-064N to explore and successfully solve the different tests simulated and implemented in his psyche by Aura. By solving these tests, the neuronal network of our protagonist will be stimulated, thus facilitating the reconstruction of his memory with the help of Aura.

    Explore and discover the story of L-064N, learn about the immense wisdom of Aura through the tests, discover characters with their unique stories, struggle to overcome ION’s challenges to regain your memory, and find clues that will help you understand the enigmatic world of System of Souls while solving mind-bending puzzles!    … Expand

    System of Souls is a clever puzzler that does deliver some tricky and smart challenges. There's not much in the way of deceit, allowing players to see the task ahead and worry about execution. It's not mind-bending but there is some frustration on hand when the occasionally erratic physics intervene. As well presented as the levels are, I found the narrative fell flat and there are definitely times where things can feel very sterile. The puzzles are worth seeing although the lack of a level select does mean replaying can feel a bit of a slog.

    With an interesting story and some decent puzzle mechanics, System of Souls has all the ingredients for a good sci-fi puzzler, but with its best parts rarely firing in tandem, it only shows flashes of its real potential. Being a little rough around the edges, however, shouldn’t keep away fans of the genre though as there are a few thought-provoking hours for those willing to give it a shot.
