Sand is the Soul is a unique combination of side scrolling beatemup and action RPG, which could be best described as a modern day version of River City Ransom and Guardian Heroes, covered in Bloodborne sauce.
Sand is the Soul is a modern day itteration and love letter to an old school, niche genre where the game let’s you do what you want and doesn’t spoonfeed or think for you.

In Sand is the Soul you can play as a boy scout and fulfill your mission, become a slave to the Sand and end up as a homeless junkie on the streets, discover the genesis of the Sand and confront an old, deeply rooted evil, or simply abandon your mission and return home, or go full psycho and kill all npc’s (yes, it’s possible)...
The choice is yours.
