Trueself Games review

“Soul of Fire” is a dark fantasy gamebook demo from Trueself Games. You play Surif, a fire mage sent to reinforce the siege of Emberhold. The studio put the demo in the browser while it works on a larger mobile collection.

Follow one choice and watch what it changes

The developer lists four resources that can change with a decision, including Chi and Morale. It also says the epilogue can change depending on whom you protect. That gives me something specific to look for on a second run. CHYOA is another way to follow a branching story in the browser.

Open the demo from the studio’s page

The home page has a Play Demo link for “Soul of Fire.” The developer also lists the same demo on itch.io. The studio is still preparing the campaign for its broader story collection, so I’d use the demo to decide whether I wanted to follow the project. There’s a waitlist if you want to hear about the campaign.

Anabel’s take

I’d make the choice that suited my character first. If I came back for another run, I’d change one decision and look for the first moment when it gave me a different option.
