It's an interesting premise, but the colourscheme, music, and constant flow breaking interruptions as you play add up to quite a frustrating experience. Pretty much every room has forced dialog in the beginning and it gets really annoying fast. The movement feels just a bit too slow, and there are a lot of little quality of life problems. For example when you enter an empty room you have to stand still while the …

It's not often that I find a game that makes me actually laugh out loud, no, not like blow-air-out-your-nose-while-scrolling-reddit-on-the-toilet, I mean like ACTUAL laughter- but this game did it. In the tutorial no less.

Pros: *Game is cute *Unique style - loved the 1920s black n white cartoons mixed with 8-bit visuals and music *Simple controls - though they do take some getting used too (arrow pad to shoot + wasd to move) *Gameplay difficulty was right between easy to medium. Some puzzles or boss fights took a few tries but I never felt frustratingly stuck *Skip/fast-forward function to skip dialogue (really nice for when you die) …

Restless Soul has some of the best comedic writing I've seen from a game in a long time. After only the 1.7 hours of playtime at the point of writing this review, I've legitimately laughed out loud dozens of times, with plenty of other jokes giving me small chuckles, which is more than I can say about lots of other comedy games. I did my best to scour every inch of the regions I was in to find all the jokes, but …

These jokes are killing me. xD This is real comedy. :D Also you can pet the dog. :)

Players who liked RESTLESS SOUL talk about hilarious writing that makes players laugh out loud; those who didn't talk about too many jokes disrupt pacing and become annoying. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pursued by the Grim Reaper and with the minions of Dr. Krull standing in the way, 8 keys must be collected across the many towns in the Afterlife to unlock a portal that will allow ‘Soul’ to return to the living and attend to unfinished business. Afterlifes inhabitants often seem like they’re barely managing to keep the place running, and the actions of the player often topples them over the edge in this mildly chaotic escapade. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2983054864…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know the game is great when you feel all sentimental at the end. Where the game shines is definitely the witty story and your interactions with npcs. Gameplay-wise, the game as a whole is kinda uneventful to put it mildly. The combat is simple, enemies are easy to beat (and even if you die the game is very forgiving and you basically don't get punished at all), maps are small but have their quirks and side quests mainly consist of the same puzzles.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game in itself is fine, but gosh the writing kind of ruins it. Playing this game is like reading a 500 jokes book with 10-30 sec between each jokes. It makes the pacing really bad, makes the joke land flat and make the story uninteresting. And the story is a big part of the game so unless you like reading 500 jokes book, then this game is probably not for you.

All the reviews say it's a very, very funny game! What indie games are you into right now? #Vtuber #Steam #VideoGames
neutral · AI labelView post →I really wanted to like this, but it was all-around disappointing. The gameplay is tedious, the story is unengaging, and the attempts at humor are very quickly irritating, repetitive, and completely fail to hit their mark. Not worth your time and money.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Restless soul is a mid game which means it’s very hit or miss depending on the player’s preferences. Not all games need to be amazing, but they do need to be good enough to prove that they’re worth your money. Mid games can establish their value by going on sale and being short enough to justify the price tag. The plot tries to parody other games’ plots and anything else that it could think of. Sometimes, it got the rare snort out of me, but mostly felt like the developer was trying to show…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought this was going to be a silly adventure game but oh my god. The humour is so silly and fun the gameplay is difficult in some parts but very entertaining. I love the little nods to different games and movies (with the ghost puns) as well as Woof. We love Woof

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun adventure into the after-life filled with jokes Kinda getting meta undertale vibes but it's also very different. Don't worry about the minimalistic graphics. It's all part of the experience! Definitely worth the price! Also you can document your journey with goofy selfies so 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is surprisingly funny. A lot of the jokes are meta jokes and one liners, but I am a cheesy person, and I really enjoy the consistency of the humor along with its talks about death and life in its own simple ways. It makes me wants to talk and interact with literally everything I can think of. The game is very friendly, you don't really lose anything when you lose, so the health packs are kind of useless if you're good enough at finishing a battle section in one go without using one,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Restless Soul is a like a book of jokes, but you have to walk between each one, interact, and wait slowly while it unfolds on the screen. It gets so old so quickly, but at least the game recognizes that and allows you to fast-forward dialogue. In a game primarily about dialogue. That's how self-aware it is of how bad its jokes are. The problem is - if you're buying this game for the jokes, it gets old too quickly. But if you're buying it for anything other than the jokes, there's barely one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mixed feelings. The gameplay is on the easy side. Simple, fun and varied enough. There are collectibles cleverly located all throughout the world, the characters are likeable, nice graphics and art style and okayish soundtrack. The humor is pretty clever and lighthearted, and I've actually laughed out loud at some jokes (which is not common in me). BUT. I've also rolled my eyes at some. And some left me indifferent. And I've fast forwarded some of them (this option was a nice detail). That's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ENG: A funny and amusing adventure that knows how to fill the heart. It has bullet hell boss fights, puzzles, minigames, secrets and above all, lots and lots of silly humor. I'm looking forward to the next dev game, Froggonit, which seems to be very similar to this one. Highly recommended. ESP: Una aventurita graciosa y divertida que sabe llenar el corazón.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is just amazing! I played until the third "dungeon" and I'm loving it! Restless Soul is a really well written comedy game. Each dialogue has been carefully thought out to tell the story while also placing a very clever joke. The characters feel alive, each with their own personality. The game is full of details, as the possibility to have a phone, take selfies, an interactive map, a fast-travel system between towns and more functionalities. And I am very excited to know what the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game, but it's so frustrating that the writer is constantly throwing in their desperate attempts to be funny. Literally every time you enter a new room or area, your progress grinds to a halt and you have to read through slow crawling dialogue that's nothing but lame jokes. You don't get any helpful info, and it breaks any momentum you get when exploring or enjoying the level design. You're not allowed to go room to room in a dungeon, you have to sit through half a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really funny if you're the kind of person that laughs with their mouth wide open while filled with half-chewed potato chips when Sheldon says Bazinga. If you love gameplay being interrupted by such Emmy winning comedy like that, you're in for a treat. And if you love gameplay that is seemingly mostly the talking to characters in Pokemon towns combined with the world's most basic twin-stick shooting, you're gonna have a blast. Boomers, you know those sound effects from Atari that were really…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here’s a fun story: I was originally thinking of naming my game Restless Soul, but it was already taken on Steam, so I picked something else. And the crazy part? I randomly found the developer (@fuzgames.bsky.social) of that game on BlueSky!

I think it was a good decision how they took that art style and pull out the maximum out of it. -'Controls-' = Using a keyboard it is passable maybe better with a Controller Using a keyboard the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanna start off the review by saying this is surprisingly one of the funniest games I've ever played. The amount of jokes and gags that fill the experience really makes this one enjoyable for all ages, despite the whole concept being about death. The game is actually longer than you'd think as well, I've been playing for a few hours and from what I can gather I'm only about halfway through the experience. There is some combat to break down the walls of text, but don't expect much more than…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Haven't beaten the game just yet, but my first impressions have been nothing but positive. I absolutely adore the Pokemon on the classic gameboy aesthetic, the Pixelated 3D structures, the goofy conversations between the characters, I normally don't care much for 4th wall breaks, but these ones were pretty funny. Bullet Hell gameplay has always been a bit hit or miss (Heh) for me, but the game feels forgiving enough but also challenging enough in some areas, dying doesn't feel like bad luck…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are into absurdist humour and don't care about eye-candy graphics and sounds, you might enjoy this. I think it would have been better if it wasn't this long and the worst bits cut off (stealth mini-games, I'm looking at you). Usually this kind of game is just a few hours long, but a lot has been put into this, with various degrees of success. It's quite noteworthy anyhow that there are so many ideas, original jokes (hit and miss mind you), and different mechanics. A quintessential indie…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game made me cry at the end somehow and laugh during a few of the dialogue boxes. The gameplay itself is rather lackluster, but it made up for it in every other way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A grayscale game that's full of color! Simple, yet full of fun and challenging moments.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Post-Christmas lull, 2023. Played this for a good 6 hours over a few days with my six year old, who enjoyed the simple yet fun graphics and calming tunes. She didn't get all the jokes, but was a good excuse to get some reading practice in as well as ask the odd question about death. It was a definitely a fun few hours and I recommend to those wanting a bit of exploration with a few arcade style shoot-and-avoid sections. Lovely, and a great mixture of what I think gaming should be about.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short game, but funny (not ROFL, but smirk/chuckle kind of funny) and cute. Its simple, yet does mix up things from time to time, helping it from being too repetitive. Would recommend it, especially if you're looking for something short and sweet. Will say that I got this for sale for about 3 USD.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful short game (around 5 hours) with good humor and references to other games and movies. The navigation is inspired by Pokemon games :D +Great OST +Combat is fun (Use a controller) +Boss battles are good and not annoying 10/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RESTLESS SOUL is a lighthearted adventure that turns the normally grim concept of death into an energetic and deliberately silly journey through the afterlife. Developed by Fuz Games and published by Graffiti Games, the game follows a restless spirit unwilling to accept that its time among the living has ended. Instead of peacefully remaining dead, the protagonist searches for a way back to Life. Doing so requires collecting eight keys needed to unlock a mysterious Portal, but that goal becomes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it goes on a liiittle too long, and some of the puzzles do individually as well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Take my review with a grain of salt, because I played this game at a time when I was terribly stressed/overworked and could only afford 10-30 minutes of gaming a day. Tldr; Ghost game funny lol First off, the humor is hit or miss. If you find yourself completely straight-faced and bored the first 15 minutes, this isn't the game for you because the rest of it has a similar humor through and through. I thought it was funny. I chuckled and a couple of jokes made me laugh quite a bit, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →But overall, Froggonit is a big step up from Restless Soul. This game was definitely worth the almost 2 and a half year wait. It sucks that I won't be the Froggonit pro that I thought I would be since I'm sure beating Super Ghost Diner is tied to an achievement.😅🤷 Welp, back to playing Froggonit.
positive · AI labelView post →Very slow, combat is bland, humor is... pretty thin.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A charming afterlife adventure that lives and dies by its humor. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy adventure with some bullet-hell elements and fourth-wall breaking jokes, Restless Soul is worth a look. So, what's the premise? You play as a recently deceased soul trying to find your way back to the land of the living. To do so, you need to collect keys scattered across the Afterlife while avoiding the evil Dr. Krull and his army. Along the way you'll meet a cast of quirky…

If you enjoyed the Paper Mario games from the GC/wii era you have to play this. While in no way a clone of those games, it still manages to scratch the same itch. Gameplay is a mix of reading *a lot* of funny/ironic dialog and bullet hell dungeons. Despite requiring decent reflexes to play as intended there are a couple difficulty modes that can be toggled at any time including appropriately named…
