Soul Axiom News

Great news everyone... To coincide with today’s update, we’re putting Soul Axiom on sale with 40% off! That also includes the Artbook & Soundtrack DLC, Deluxe and Super Deluxe Edition!

The sale won't be around for long so grab it now for almost half price and support the game by spreading the word!

Since the launch of the game on Steam we’ve had the opportunity to attend the PC Gamer Weekender and more recently we were at EGX Rezzed where Microsoft demo’d the game on the Xbox stand! It was another great opportunity to show off and talk about the development of the game through Steam Early Access :-)



Now, for those patch notes…

NOTE: This update will be live for Windows, Mac and Linux.

This update brings a more efficient way of revisiting levels and finding the Corrupt portals. Now, when a player has received the Corrupt Power, they will no longer have to redo puzzles in each level to find the portal. Many puzzles will be now be completed and locked entrances will be open. In some levels, this will also make it quicker to find missing PEMOs.

We’ve now increased the speed of the Phase, Play, Destroy and Corrupt hand powers which will give more precision, more noticeably when targeting smaller or moving objects.



Major optimisation pass across entire game to increase general FPS and reduce spots with FPS drops.


Fixed a rare issue when the game would crash selecting a mirror in the Waiting Room.
Fixed an on-going issue with the statues sometimes not accepting the right order in Church.
Fixed some minor occlusion issues in various areas.
Fixed some minor snagging issues.

Hi everyone! We hope you’ve all enjoyed the 1.0 version of the game and we’d like to thank you all once again for your awesome contribution during the Early Access development. Since the launch, we’ve taken the game to the PC Gamer Weekender (where we had a fantastic response from gamers) and we’ll also be featured at EGX REZZED in just a couple of weeks’ time in London. If you’re attending the show, feel free to hunt us out and say hi!

This update will be going live for Windows, Mac and Linux.

While we are continuing to resolve the graphical issues on Linux builds, we have implemented a temporary fix. The problem is the 'Bloom' feature we use in-game creating large white graphical effects with certain Linux drivers. Linux users now have the option to turn off the Bloom effect in the settings. We would just like to thank you all for your patience on this issue and we will continue to find a solution to the underlying problem.

Stopped a sound constantly playing when picking up a red cube in Apartment.
Fixed a sorting issue with the skeletons in the Church crypt.
Added SFX to the meteor in Corrupt Apartment.
Fixed an issue causing the player to get stuck when jumping off the PEMO ledge in Mansion.
Fixed an issue causing the player to get stuck in the curtains near the end of Hospital.
Added an X-Hand icon on the console in Museum.
Made the Desert Temple hint more visible.
Added a “locked” message to the tutorial portal after the Monorail.
Added a “Level progress will be lost” message to the exit portals in levels.
Fixed an issue causing you to get stuck in the Corrupt portal room in Space Station.
Fixed minor collision issues throughout.

The Steam Community have been getting creative with their screenshots, here are a couple that caught our attention from user: -Mila-
