Some of you followed Soulash's development for years, and we're glad to finally leave the alpha and beta stages into the stable version. We're very grateful to everyone who tried the game, left feedback, and helped us get to this place. It's been a bumpy 5-year long journey. What comes next is yet to be determined, but what options we'll have is now up to you, our players. Please spread the word about the game, leave a review, tell your friends why you enjoy it, share it in communities you participate in, mod the game, join us on Discord or follow on Twitter, help other players with guides, share your creativity on Workshop and continue to provide us with your feedback!

We hope Soulash will bring you many hours of joy,

Artur & Xiclu
