Soul Puppet

Editorial Worth it

Soul Puppet opens with strong art and engaging writing that keeps players invested through its introduction. The creator's reputation for distinctive character design carries over well, and the Lovecraftian horror framing intrigues those who enjoyed the premise. However, community sentiment is divided by uncertainty: the game deliberately avoids sexual content in its current itch.io release, while many players (familiar with the creator's prior work) expect or hope for NSFW material to arrive later. Some find the vanilla approach refreshing; others see it as incomplete. The core story and dialogue have earned genuine praise, but the game's identity — whether it's a narrative-driven visual novel or a vehicle for adult content — remains ambiguous, and that ambiguity is shaping how different players judge it. Current build is stable and polished for what it offers, though Chapter 1 is relatively short.
