Soulframe, the fantasy RPG from the makers of Warframe, continues to charm me despite its occasionally baffling lore that can feel like a riddle wrapped in a headache. The studio’s press updates sometimes plunge deep into arcane language, like when they wrote about stepping into sap-dreams and bestitching with witches—definitely not your everyday developer diary. It almost makes you half-expect ravens to start showing up at your door.
But don’t let that weirdness put you off. Beneath the strange, there’s a lot of quiet, thoughtful craftsmanship. The game feels especially alive in its stillness, like on the login screen, which manages to be both inviting and unsettling in the best way. It’s deceptively simple—a cozy little world that you can almost lose yourself in before the action even begins. There’s something almost habit-forming about it, as if the start menu itself is gently pulling you back for just one more session. Soulframe may be early access, but its subtle moments already speak volumes about the experience it’s building.
