  A mysterious young spirit finds himself caught in the middle of a supernatural conflict, as a powerful witch and three ethereal brothers unleash chaos inside a seemingly ordinary house. Unable to control the humans around him directly, the spirit must remain unseen and use his unique ability to possess objects, manipulate the environment, and trigger carefully timed chain reactions. Every decision can mean the difference between a close call and a deadly disaster.

Souls of Bombarika is a puzzle adventure built around observation, possession, and cause and effect. Each level is a self-contained playground of furniture, objects, and environmental systems that players must understand and manipulate to protect unsuspecting people. Possess an object, change its position, trigger it at the perfect moment, or combine multiple elements to create an unexpected solution. As new abilities and mechanics are introduced, the puzzles become increasingly inventive, while a deeper mystery surrounding the witch, the spirits, and the Bombarika brothers slowly unfolds. Observe. Possess. Protect.

Souls of Bombarika Key Features:

  • OooObserve: Adapt to the unique supernature rules, spectral patterns, and psychological pressures that each level brings
     
  • Cause-and-Effect Gameplay: Like a Rube Goldberg machine where lives are at stake, manipulate environmental objects in the right way and at the right time to redirect bombs before they can harm humans
     
  • Gain New Powers: Unlock new abilities and gameplay mechanics, expanding the possibilities of object possession, puzzle depth, and traversal in new and dramatic ways
     
  • Uncover the Truth: Investigate a mystery surrounding a corrupted witch, destructive spirits and betrayal. The answers lie buried, waiting to be discovered…
     
  • Face the Forgotten: As well as saving innocent lives from seemingly impossible odds, battle against malevolent spirits in challenging boss fights
 

Souls of Bombarika will release on Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1|2 in early 2027. Friendly phantoms can wishlist the game Today and download the demo on Steam.
