Shattered Souls Demo
A downloadable game
Become lost in a realm where nothing is as it seems. A realm of broken, beautiful, and resilient people. Experience enchanting, passionate love stories with twists and turns in every direction. Fight for your soul, never giving up, and always trying again until the day you are healed.
Shattered Souls is the third commercial project released by Eternal Love Studios, a game studio dedicated to bringing you worlds you can escape into and romances you will never forget. We specialize in otome games which are narrative-based interactive visual novels centered around romance with various characters.
Our Kickstarter is LIVE!
Celeste finds herself fighting for her life after enduring a betrayal that no one should experience.
As she nears her final breath, she is whisked away to a different world: Remoire.
Things are not as they seem, though. She’s not a mortal. Her past is as vast as the ocean. Her soul is fractured and barely holding together from the traumas she’s faced and forgotten. She must heal herself or even the tiniest tragedy could shatter her. But she’s not the only one who is broken.
Join Celeste as she fights not only to save her own life, but to change the lives of those around her.
Will you traverse worlds, realms, and even time itself? Will you test your fate? Will you try again?
Lose yourself in a thrilling adventure filled with gods, demons, betrayals, and twists and turns in every direction. It’s a battle for justice. It’s a battle for your soul. It’s a battle for existence itself. Are you willing to do what it takes? Will you try again?
✧ Complex Branching Storylines ✧
Your decisions shape the way that your adventure unravels. No two routes are the same. Each route features new, uncharted locations, unique characters, links to the puzzle that is your existence, and sometimes, more questions than answers.
Your quest may be revenge, but the journeys you take to get there will be as diverse as the universe itself. Even the beginning of your story is subject to change, depending on the choices that you make.
✧ Seven Routes ✧
Shattered Souls features seven available love interests, two of which are unlocked by exploring different choices. You will find that these men are just as shattered as you are. Will you have the strength to face the demons, literal and metaphorical?
✧ Personalized Choice Options ✧
While Shattered Souls still follows the traditional flow of choice options, you will also be given the opportunity to express your personality, likes and dislikes through the personalized choice option prompts. These choices will not change affection levels, but will allow you to answer freely in the moment.
✧ Detailed Lip Animations ✧
Shattered Souls boasts a complex and detailed coding style that matches the audio with the mouth animation. This intricate animation style creates a more dynamic playing experience.
✧ Content Control ✧
[NOTICE: THIS FEATURE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE DEMO.]
Take control over potentially uncomfortable scenarios with our ‘Content Control’ feature. This feature, when enabled, will allow you to be informed of potentially unwanted experiences and situations. It will give you the option to opt for a summary and skip to the next section of the scene.
✧ Multiple Endings ✧
Shattered Souls contains a minimum of 16 different endings. Your choices may unlock a few secrets and surprises along the way.

Hi, i just discovered the game and seen the fundraising, i was wondering is you will make the itens on the fundraising available for purchase. I really want the plush, artbook and stickers !!! T.T
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest! We will be having add-ons available on backer kit for purchase! You should be able to add on the items that you want at that time when the backer kit survey is sent out!
We are limited on the add-ons depending of the tier? Because i rather the physicals items but they are for high tier, right?
Great question! Kickstarter will only allow you to add physical add-ons to tiers that offer physical items. Our lowest physical tier is Shattered Souls Squad [Physical]. This will allow you to purchase available physical add-ons. The stickers and Kit Pillow plush are not yet available as add-ons. We are considering adding them as a special addition to the backer kit survey (for those interested).
Incredible demo! I'm definitely interested in what else is to come. I'll be looking out for the full release!
Thanks you so much for playing the demo!! We're so happy that you liked it and can't wait to share the full release with you!
Why did this game have Amare tag though... Isn't this one is pure otome game? There are no gender choice, no mix gender LI, just female protag x male LI?
Hello! Thank you so much for your question! I apologize for the confusion.
The reason that we tagged Shattered Souls as amare is because we have a diverse cast of characters, relationships, and sub-stories in the main game that we felt fit with amare content. However, if we misunderstood the use of this tag then I sincerely apologize. It was not our intention. To avoid further confusion, I have taken the tag off for the demo itself.
Thank you again, and have a wonderful day!
Hello (again)! Thank you for the explain and sorry if I did sound harshly. Thank you for removed the tag (•ө•)♡
I finished the demo.
Personally I think the UI really need a make over. The art is decent enough (there are some weird part though, like the characters have no wrist, the neck too long, the shoulders too broad, the patterned jewelry on the outfit lacks shading making it look flat, why did their face so close in every CGs while talking plz give me a spaceeee, etc.). One of my friend cmt the art give the webtoon vibe and wonder if the game artist is a webtoon artist. The voice acting is so good, it's the thing that keep me continue playing until the end of the demo, and I like the lip sync.
My fav for now would be Shiro because he didn't give a damn about the heroine or fated, and his voice is hilarious 🤣 I like a person who carefree and independent like that than clingy one. They are their own person, have purpose in live and a decent level of self-esteem. And someone like that exactly what Celeste need right now - a damn breath after what just happen to her. It would also feel more natural (to me) when they fall in love later.
I did see you mentioned there will be extended demo so I'll wait for that.
Hi there, just for clarification.
Amare does not require gender variable MC's or multiple gender LI's it is a tag that encompasses multiple subgenres, Otome being one of those sub genres. Similar to how regency romance is a sub genre of historical romance. All Otome games are Amare games just like all Otome games are Josei Games. It's just not all Amare or Josei games are Otome games.
This game is an Amare Game and was tagged correctly. We kindly ask that you do not 'police' the tag or question why developers have labelled their game as Amare. Amare does not condone that behaviour.
We happily included it in the Amare Games Bulletin and we are so excited to see more of this Amare/Otome game.
Please feel comfortable adding the tag back if you wish as it was tagged correctly. Amare welcomes all types of games.
Gatekeeping much?
I've become a fan of your games since Glass Heart and I was waiting for this demo to be released! I really liked the story and the characters, especially Shiro and Marris (totally not because of Brayson's voice actor! >.<)! Celeste is also very interesting, I'm looking forward to her development.
I'm rooting for the success of the Kickstarter!
Thank you so much for your support and for playing both Glass Heart and Shattered Souls!! I truly appreciate you, Carlane!! Also, I'm so glad that you love Shiro and Marris! We are so lucky to have Michael returning for this game! He's incredible! We just love him so much!
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for your support! I absolutely loved reading your comment and cannot wait to share the rest of Shattered Souls with you! Have an amazing day!
i can't wait for the full game. this was such a good demo!! the story had me invested the whole time. so many hot meeeeen (her sister is hot too) <3 and it's fully voiced too which makes it so much better. all the voice actors did such a good job. live laugh love marris
I cant believe that aasim wasn't a route </3. he looks so beautiful even w the mask on !!
thank you so much for the demo. definitely worth the wait. i hope it goes well for the game!
Awww thank you so much! I'm so glad that you loved the demo!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and taking the time to write this review! I loved reading it!
Yes, Aasim is not a route in the main game, unfortunately. However, we are really hoping that he will be unlocked as a DLC character! We've got so many plans for his story!
Thank you so much for playing through the demo and for sharing your thoughts! I cannot wait to share the rest of the story with you! :)
really enjoyed the demo.
Ahhh So excited!! Thank you so much! Watching right now! :)
Hey! I’m the backer that asked a bunch of questions a few days ago! And the girl that talked about the Fateds on Twitter xD
I just wanted to express here how much I loved the demo and the idea of the game! I’m a sucker for the soulmate trope, and this game sure has that :)
SPOILERS OF THE DEMO.
As I said in Kickstarter, I really enjoyed how the protagonist is written. I think her inner voice and her actions really show how hurt she is about everything that happened to her. I like how she isn’t simping at the beginning for the boys, she just wants to fix the situation she’s been thrown to, she doesn’t want to fall in love again after everything that happened before, and that shows! Oh, and I like the design of the main character <3 She is really pretty, her hair is amazing and the dresses she wears are super beautiful too, props to the artist!
About the LIs, I don’t have much to say about Ezra and Aizen, because I think they don’t appear that much in the demo, and sorry for Aizen, but I’m not the biggest fan of Emperor LIs hahaha. But I will still play his route!
Marris is so much fun, even if he is not my usual type, I really liked his antics and the energy he has. I was a little surprised when Marris was talking about ‘’Q&A’’, but then I thought: ‘’Well, he is a God, even if he is not the God of Earth, maybe he likes to be there from time to time and get some vocabulary from us haha’’.
Shiro was one of the LIs that I was the most curious about because I really like Tsunderes xD. I think his is my favourite of the markings, Marris there just made everything extra hilarious. When Shiro said, yelling ‘’I HAVE NO DESIRE TO GET MARRIED! EVER!’’ xD. Neither do we, friend, but even if the protagonist doesn’t love you now, I like you already hahaha. I think he is a breath of fresh air, because he doesn’t look that interested in the protagonist, he just wants to kill demons!
I LOVE the childhood friend trope, so, yeah. I really want to play Karver route!
I love Lance’s VA, I have a thing for soft and kind voices, so I liked him since the first time he spoke xD And how he changed when he realised that the protagonist was his Fated, he turned into puppy mode ><
And the Eternal, probably my favourite design of the LIs. Well, I want to say about him that… OMG, the last sceneeeeeeee. With the song (I find myself singing it from time to time, it’s really good). AHHHHHHHH, I just find myself fangirling xD
I don’t know if I’ll get an answer, but I will ask anyway haha. Do you have a favourite LI? I’m always curious about what the Devs think about their own creations hahaha
Just for feedback, the voice acting is super nice, but I think there was a bit of echo in the voice of the Maid, maybe it was my Steamdeck because I’ve played the demo there haha, but I found it a bit weird because the other characters didn’t have echo. Her voice wasn’t the problem, it’s just an audio issue, I think.
And maybe it was a little fast paced in how everything came to a conclusion, I know it’s a demo but I didn’t have much time to meet the characters. I wanted to give a little feedback, but I’m sure the pacing will be different in the final game, I saw that it’s going to be atleast 500k words, so I’m very happy, I like long games :). And even more if the protagonist takes a while to fall in love, and in this game I’m sure she needs that time after what happened lel.
Amazing job to everyone involved: the writer, the artist, the graphic designers, the composer, the editor :) I wish you again good luck with the Kickstarter, I’m sure you will reach your goal! I just hope we get some more routes, the more LIs the merrier xD
Hey there!!! Thank you again so much for your support! I absolutely loved reading your thoughts just now and am so happy that you loved the demo!! I'm also so glad that you love the music!!
Yes, we actually had to take out a few scenes (that will make appearances in the main game) since the demo was already at the three hour mark. I feel bad though, because you really get to know a little more about Aizen, Ezra, Lance, and Karver. Maybe we can do an extended demo in the future (while creating the main game!)
Haha! Marris is a self-proclaimed "earthboo". He loves our earthly culture and usually uses it. Though, it's often dated lingo. XD Shiro is definitely "I'll never fall in love" trope. Ohhh yes. Karver's route. I'm so excited for Karver! Lance is such a little puppy at times! I'm so glad you are interested in the Eternal!!
Thank you for bringing that to our attention. For the main game, we're going to ensure that all audio quality is consistent and at a professional level. Yes, the prologue will be much longer and the main game as well!
Thank you so much for asking! As a team (for those who know the full first draft of the completed story), Marris has the teams vote. I love all of our characters in their own ways. If I, Korina, had to choose.... Oh, that's hard. I'd say my favorites are: Marris, Ezra, Karver, & The Eternal. But I love all of them! Our editor loves Marris and the Eternal. Our assistant editor loves Marris and Lance. :)
Thank you so much! We're blown away by all the support and are really hoping to make our goal! I truly hope so too. I really really want to bring the rest of the LI's to life!
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts! I loved reading them!! :)
oh my gosh this is was so amazing!! I'LL BE BUYING THIS ON THE FIRST DAY WHEN ITS OUT!
Thank you so very much!!! I'm so glad that you loved the demo and that you are excited for the main game!! 🥹 It really just makes me so happy!! We truly appreciate you and your support! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the game!
Right now, we're hosting a Kickstarter Campaign for Shattered Souls. The only reason that I'm bringing this up is because you can get the game at a discounted price during the campaign! Since you mentioned that you're interested in playing the main game, I figured I'd let you know about this!
Thank you again so much for sharing your thoughts and for playing the demo! I can't wait to share the rest of the story with you!🥰
I loved the demo. The art is great and the story engaging.
Well l'et's be honest the story is dark at the begining maybe more later.
I totaly didn't trust the first goddess even though I would at first chose this option. Let's bet on who is her agent on Earth, hum ?
I also understand how the MC is wary of this "bond", after such a first traumatizing event how can you trust someone and even more like that. I think the developing story can be really enjoyable on that part.
On the seven possible routes I'm soooo curious. My bet is either on the two gods or an harem and a no one route. (Please not the harem. I say this but it's my personal distate, I, of course, will follow the creator choice.)
I think you really have something. And you can create an amazing story. I can't wait to see what path you'll take !! (What it's usually the other way around ? Come on !)
Thank you so much!!! I'm absolutely thrilled that you loved the demo! Thank you for playing our game and for taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience! It really means the world to me!
We cannot wait to share the rest of the story with you and cannot wait to know which route you choose!
Thank you again! 🥰
I have so much to say about this game.
First off the music, especially at that ending portion of the demo was so beautiful, I felt like I really got transported into the world. Second off the characters themselves, their designs are all beautiful and their voices fit them so perfectly, I fell in love with all their designs and voices.
The storyline itself is so entrancing, I didn't even realize I spent an hour playing this demo as how invested I got into the story. With the heartbreaking scenes, to the comedic parts, everything just blended so well!
Overall I can't wait for this game to be released, and I'm so excited to see any update regarding this game. The demo has left me with so much excitement to be discovered in the full game and I can't wait, amazing job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, Laurilys!! We loved reading your thoughts about the game and are so happy that you loved the demo!! We cannot wait to bring the rest of the story to you!! Thank you again!! ❤️ 🥰

Thank you so very much for playing the demo and for taking the time to review!! We are thrilled that you liked the game!
