Developer Update: Soul Mirror
Since our last playtest, our developers have been working hard on lots of exciting updates that you’ll be able to experience very soon!
We wanted to share some of the key things we’ve been working on, along with insights from the team.
This week, we’re taking a deep dive into the Soul Mirror.
We're really excited to bring more functionality back to the Safehouse. In the last playtest, use of the Soul Mirror was temporarily removed, but for our next big playtest (TBA), it will be returning!
So, what’s the Soul Mirror all about, and how will it impact your gameplay experience?
Let’s hear from Calum, our UI wizard, as he breaks down the work he’s been doing on the Soul Mirror:
[h3]What is the Soul Mirror?[/h3]
The Soul Mirror is the player's primary interface to their collection of characters—both Human and Demon. Here, players can equip characters, read their lore, and acquire new ones. Each character in The Bornless has their own story and can be individually levelled up, rewarding players with cosmetic unlocks and eventually unlocking a corrupted variant of the character.
On the Demon side, the Soul Mirror allows players to preview each Demon’s unique abilities, unlock rewards through levelling, and even purchase new Demons.
[h3]What have you been working on with the Soul Mirror?[/h3]
The Soul Mirror system has undergone a complete overhaul. However, it isn’t just a task for the UI Team alone; it requires extensive collaboration with the 3D Design Team to create new Human and Demon characters. Our Narrative Department also plays a key role crafting intertwined stories about each character, detailing their history with Farmouth Island and what their motivations are for being there.
Meanwhile, the UI Team has been building out all the front-end functionality to smoothly navigate these systems. And, at this stage, all the necessary 2D art is also in production.
[h3]What can players expect when using the Soul Mirror?[/h3]
New characters and Demons… lots of them!
We’re really looking forward to the Soul Mirror going live and rewarding players for using their favourite characters. You'll have the opportunity to preview playable Demons in detail, including breakdowns of their skills, attacks, and more.
With this update, players will also be able to buy and equip new characters and Demons—something we’re very excited for you to explore!
[h3]What were some of the biggest challenges in designing the Soul Mirror interface?[/h3]
One of the main challenges we've faced is ensuring the Soul Mirror has a great user experience—not just for keyboard-and-mouse users, but also for players who prefer controllers. Ensuring the interface is intuitive and enjoyable for both input methods has been a major focus for us.

The Bornless Playtest Begins Tomorrow
This year, we wanted to give players plenty of time to preload the game before the playtest, ensuring a smoother experience for those with busy schedules or slower internet speeds.
For those of you who have playtested before, we’ve set the Playtest app live on Steam, so it should be visible for you to update.
If you’re new to playtesting, received a Steam Key, and are ready to activate it, follow the instructions below:
Using Your Steam Key
Here’s where you need to paste your unique Steam key.
Installation
If your Steam key is valid, you should be prompted to install The Bornless Playtest. This is the build that will be available to play this weekend!
Keep an eye out for any updates that may occur before 2 PM UTC, when the servers go online.
And that's all there is to it!
If you have any questions or run into issues, drop a comment below, and we’ll do our best to help you get sorted before the playtest.
[h3]How to Get Access to The Bornless Playtest?[/h3]
Request Access on Steam
It’s a random draw, but today we’re hooking up thousands of you who asked to playtest. More chances will pop up during the event too!
Watch Our Mythos Creators
Our Mythos Creators are handing out access keys like candy on their streams—it’s the least we can do for them creating an amazing content about The Bornless.
Stay Active in our Discord
We love giving our Discord community keys because they’re the loudest and often provide the most constructive criticism. If you’re active in our Discord and chatting away, there’s a great chance you’ll snag a key. Plus, the community is pretty awesome!
