- Soul Axiom review - 8 March 2016
need to know What is it? A first-person puzzle game about exploring digital memories. Expect to pay: $20 / 15 Developer: Wales Interactive Publisher: Wales Interactive Reviewed on: Intel Core-i7 6700K, 16GB RAM, GTX 980 Ti Link: Official site Soul Axiom wants to be a huge, cerebral puzzle game. I admire the scope and variety of its modular environments, each with completely different aesthetics and puzzle mechanics. It has an intriguing story that spans generations, built on weighty concepts like the soul, the depths (or absence) of human consciousness, and scientific ethics. Soul Axiom is imposing and impressive from a distance, the silhouette of a skyscraper. But upon closer inspection the looming shadow is just a topsy-turvy paper mache idol held together by twigs and rubber cement. Metaphysics In the first-person digital dreamscape of Soul Axiom, you re tasked with entering fragment…

We now have an official release date of 29 February 2016.. A Leap Day!! We are still to plan one more update before the release so Early Access contributors still have time to join in the with finishing touches of the game. Gamers will also notice a dramatic reduction in file size originally from around 12GB to a much lower size of just under 5GB. This is mainly down to a major ‘behind the scenes’ optimisation pass.

- Soul Axiom escapes Early Access this month - 4 February 2016
I do like to see a finished game. Wales Interactive's Soul Axiom is escaping Early Access on February 29, that leap day providing the devs 24 hours' more work in defiance of temporal laws. Throughout development, Soul Axiom has been pretty darn well received. It's a puzzle-cum-thriller deal, set in a future in which human souls have been uploaded to a platform called Elysia. Death doesn't hold and of course there are darker corners of the human psyche that are best left well alone. Soul Axiom's shifting scenes and uncertain reality put me in mind of Ether One's poke around the mind of a dementia patient, which I loved .
- Soul Axiom is Content Complete!! - 19 January 2016

- New Visual/Gameplay Content & Complete Optimisation - 18 December 2015
http://i.imgur.com/zmqxNRk.jpg Greetings Everybody! We're back with a brand new update featuring new visual and gameplay content and our biggest optimisation and lighting pass to date! If you missed our last announcement then follow this link where we announced the recent engine upgrade and explained why we rebuilt the level lighting from the ground up which has given the game a whole new bunch of benefits. What's New? Optimisation Our biggest result of the update is the overall framerate throughout the entire game. Depending on what system spec you're running, you should notice a big difference in framerate and shouldn't experience any sudden drops in areas in the game. This is still a work-in-progress and we have found new ways to increase the FPS so expect to see more improvement after the game is content complete. We’re aiming for 60 FPS with most levels and are already hitting thos…
- Chapter Six Development Update - 7 December 2015
Hi everyone! Here's a quick update on how the development is going... As you might be aware this next update has taken a lot longer than expected. The reason being we were forced to update the game engine because of a bug which made it impossible for us to continue developing on. Unfortunately, the engine update broke a lot of animations and materials in the process so we've been working hard on fixing those. Also, we've completely overhauled each level with our biggest optimisation pass throughout the game and so you should see a significant increase in FPS. As well as FPS improvements, you'll also find huge changes to the lighting in many levels plus extra animations, gameplay tweaks and story hints throughtout the game. Not forgetting you'll also have the final installment to get stuck in to. The content will be coming your way next week so keep an eye out for the next announcement.…
