About this game
You shape their souls, and they shape yours. How much of yourself will survive in the end?
Soulwoven Princess is a psychological life simulator fused with tactical deck-building and branching narrative choices. Play as the Princess of Oakhaven, raised behind palace walls while the outside world starves and decays.
Trapped between a manipulative mother and a distant father, every day becomes a struggle to preserve your identity. Manage your time, energy, studies, relationships, and emotional stability as mounting pressure slowly reshapes who you become.
Build your deck using powerful shards, each reflecting different emotions, beliefs, and memories. The combinations you create alter not only your tactics, but also your worldview, dialogue options, and relationships.
Forge alliances. Create enemies. Fall in love. Manipulate others or sacrifice yourself to save them.
Will you preserve yourself, lose your mind helping others, or reshape the people around you instead?
Full Release Features:
Psychological Life-Sim: Manage your activities and monthly schedule across 60 turns to build your stats that shape your future.
Tactical Deck-Building: Collect and build hundreds of unique shards to overcome your challenges.
Personality Shaping: Develop 12 personality traits that directly influence your worldview, dialogue choices, relationships, and capabilities.
Master Your Academics: Raise 12 academic skills that will determine your mastery and competence.
Build Meaningful Relationships: Every character has their own soul. Forge alliances. Create enemies. Fall in love. Manipulate others. Or sacrifice yourself to save them.
