A downloadable game for Windows and macOS


An abandoned airport. Locked doors. Noises in the dark.


In Sole Departure, your inventory is your best friend. Use items to heal, inspect and solve puzzles. Make use of static camera angles to locate hidden secrets and avoid grotesque foes, or dispose of them with a combination of melee and ranged weaponry.

Finally, save your progress by embracing your vices in designated areas of the map.

...

Sole Departure is created by third-year students at Tampere University of Applied Sciences’ Games Academy.

Eetu Pohja – Programming, Character Art, Animation

Heikki Gauffin – Programming

Jaakko Joenperä Management, Level Design

Lauri Kullas – Environment Art, Level Design, Audio

Sanni KatajaCharacter and UI Art, Animation

...

While custom keybindings and control options are provided, the most optimal way of playing Soul Departure is by using tank controls alongside a mouse and keyboard, or an Xbox controller (on Windows).

UPDATE: The current release includes the first part of the game, which introduces most of its mechanics and, naturally, its setting. Our plan is to expand the game further with an additional “part two” in the near future.

Thanks, appreciate it! Sorry it took a while to respond; was busy getting my face melted by Level 3 of Heat: Rebirth and loved every second of it.

Thank you!

Interesting game. Deserve more content.

Cheers for playing! We'll do our best to add just that, so hopefully we'll see you back here when we do :)

Interesting concept. Needs more backstory and some tweaks to be scary though.

Thanks for playing and the feedback! We had plans for more backstory - mostly on the vague side in the form of items, audio and environmental story beats - but decided to save it for a future update, due to needing to meet coursework deadlines, being a Uni project originally. Hopefully, everything pans out and who knows; we might get some decent scares going while at it!

Resident evil vibes galore! Can't wait for part two!

Thanks a lot! Yup, the original RE titles were definitely a "minor" influence... :D
