The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy cryptic lore, corrupted fairy tales, and morally extreme psychological horror, Black Souls offers an unusually dense RPG Maker interpretation of those ideas. Avoid it if explicit sexual violence or rough presentation will overwhelm the appeal of its story.
What it does best
A dense dark-fantasy lore web worth piecing together
A lurid descent into grotesque fairy-tale horror
Morally ugly choices with consequences that persist
What might put you off
Explicit sexual content and sexual violence
Rough RPG Maker presentation

The setup
What you are walking into
Black Souls is the censored release of a dark fantasy, souls-like RPG game inspired by Dark Souls and various fairy tales, where you are an unnamed undead who has awakened imprisoned within the Lost Empire. Freed by the brave Holy Knight Jeanne D'Arc, your freedom is short-lived as a fearsome dragon claims both your lives. Now you have one goal - to infiltrate the Lost Empire and defeat Cinderella, who spreads the fog that drains souls and drives everyone to insanity, but to get there, you will need to defeat or enter into a covenant with the Demonic Princesses.
