System of Souls
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 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!

System of Souls is a puzzle platformer. So it consists of two elements, puzzle solving and platforming. The puzzle part of the game is easy. When you enter a new level it does not take long before you figure out what you have to do to beat that level. The difficulty however lies in the platforming, which can be quite challenging.
As a puzzle enthusiast I was hoping that the puzzle part of the game was the most prominent part. It thus was not. Still, I very much enjoyed playing this game. The level design is quite good. The puzzle solving was fun despite being easy. The platforming can be hard, with lots of retrying and some frustration. But it is always beatable before becoming too frustrating.
In between the intense gameplay there are moments of relaxation where you enter a room where pieces of your memory are restored. Or you enter a lounge where you can rest and talk to robots that walk around there before proceeding into the next floor. The ending is also well done, with a sort of boss fight at the last level followed by going outside the building and entering four codes you collected to finish the game. I will not go into full detail about this because I don’t want to spoil it.
The graphics are nice. The game looks really well. There are also no bugs in this game. All in all this is a well-polished fun puzzle platformer game that is certainly worth playing.
