妄生 - Wandering Souls news & patch notes

Hello everyone, thank you for waiting.

Today, the Early Access version of Wandering Souls is finally available!

Currently, the game includes Chapters 1-4. During the following development process, we will continue improving the game, completing the final chapter, and optimizing the overall experience based on player feedback.

As a small indie team, we understand that the current version still has many areas that need improvement. There may be bugs, unfinished details, pacing issues, and parts of the experience that require further polishing. If you encounter any problems while playing, please feel free to share your feedback through the Steam Community, our QQ group, or other channels. We will carefully read every piece of feedback and continue working on fixes and improvements.

Through this journey, we hope to bring players a meaningful experience that encourages reflection. When the complete story is finally presented, we also hope it can truly deliver the message and theme we wanted to share.

Thank you to every player who chooses to support Wandering Souls.

We hope you enjoy this story, and we hope that through future updates, including the final chapter, we can make this experience even better.

Have fun, and we will continue updating the game.

Dear Players,

Hello everyone.

We previously announced with great excitement that the Early Access version of Wandering Souls (featuring the first four chapters) would launch on June 26.

Thanks to the invaluable help of our playtesters, the optimization of these first four chapters—including bug fixes and the save system—has been successfully completed. We are currently putting the finishing touches on the voice acting.

However, today we must sincerely apologize as we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of Wandering Souls to July 16.

When we originally set our release date, we overlooked the Steam Summer Sale—an annual “clash of the titans.” During the Summer Sale, platform traffic fluctuates wildly, and countless blockbuster titles dominate the spotlight. For an indie game like Wandering Souls with limited marketing resources, there is a very high risk of being instantly buried in the noise.

We deeply apologize for breaking our promise to everyone who has been eagerly anticipating June 26.

We will use this extra time to conduct deeper testing and further polish the first four chapters. Our goal is to deliver a more stable and higher-quality experience for Wandering Souls on July 16.

Thank you again for your understanding, patience, and support. We can’t wait to see you on July 16!

Sincerely,

The Wandering Souls Development Team

Thank you for your patience, and we are truly sorry for the long wait.

Although not many players participated in this closed test, your enthusiasm and feedback far exceeded our expectations. We sincerely thank every friend who took the time to experience Wandering Souls, and we also appreciate everyone who shared suggestions and pointed out issues in the test group. Through this feedback, both Mifan and we have been greatly encouraged, and we have felt your expectations for the direction of the story.

During this time, we have been working hard on polishing the game – adding achievement systems for all chapters, improving save progression, optimizing all voice acting, and reworking the pacing of some story cutscenes. We have also fixed many bugs reported during testing and made various optimizations to the overall game.

Wandering Souls Early Access will be released on June 26, and will include the full content of Chapters 1–4.

Regarding merchandise shipping: For those who have purchased merchandise, all items will be designed, produced, and shipped together after Chapter 5 (the grand finale) is updated and the game transitions to the full version. You won’t have to wait too long – we will notify you in the community and on various platforms to collect shipping addresses when the time comes.

Additionally, after the Early Access release, we very much look forward to seeing your comments and reviews on the story. The finale is already being developed according to our original plan, but your thoughts will still bring us valuable inspiration – helping make the ending closer to what everyone hopes for.

Thank you again to everyone who is still waiting for us. Your patience is kept in our hearts.

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone! The Spring Sale has officially begun, bringing limited-time, new all-time low discounts for Blind and Secret Opera! Thank you all for your continuous support! While you’re grabbing these great deals, we also hope you’ll take a look at the development progress of our upcoming Chinese-style mild horror game, Wandering Souls ~

Here is an update on where we are with Wandering Souls:

• Chapter 3: The script is now completely finished, and the overall narrative structure and content have been finalized.

• Game Foundation: The basic framework of the game is over halfway done, with programming and art assets progressing steadily.

• Chapter 4: The final feedback revisions for the script are expected to be completed next week. Once finished, it will move into the subsequent production pipeline (currently, only the voice acting phase remains to be pushed forward).

• Chapter 5 ( Chapter): The script is undergoing continuous adjustments and polishing. We hope to deliver an even better presentation in terms of plot and pacing.

Overall development is moving forward right on schedule! We will keep working hard to refine the story and experience, making sure we live up to your expectations!

Thank you all for your continued support and patience!

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,

Hello, everyone,

This is the WANDERING SOULS team. First of all, we really want to thank you all for your ongoing attention and support for our project, as well as for your patience and understanding! (bows)

After the DEMO launch and the crowdfunding campaign, we received a lot of valuable feedback from players. Upon reviewing everything, we've made adjustments to the subsequent chapters, working hard to add more interaction and camera work, hoping to improve everyone’s immersion. During script implementation, we also discovered some issues. To ensure you get a better story experience, some plotlines have been reworked as well.

Therefore, we want to sincerely apologize: WANDERING SOULS, originally scheduled for release in December, will be delayed after careful consideration. The new estimated release is Q1 2026.

We know this decision will disappoint those who love WANDERING SOULS and have been looking forward to its launch. We are truly, truly sorry. But we genuinely hope to deliver a better finished product to everyone—that’s always been our goal.

Regarding the crowdfunding, if anyone wishes to request a refund, we will fully cooperate—after all, the delay is our responsibility. For those who choose to continue supporting the project, please rest assured that once WANDERING SOULS is completed, we will deliver all the promised rewards as planned and ship them out in a timely manner. We apologize again! (bows)

Your patience and understanding mean the world to us, and are our greatest motivation. We will do our very best to complete WANDERING SOULS. Moving forward, we’ll continue to share development updates with everyone on our QQ group, Steam, and Modian, and strive to meet you all as soon as possible.

It’s been two weeks since our last update, and the adjustments for Chapter 4 are almost finished. We’ll also be doing a final round of feedback and revisions, after which Chapter 4 will be complete.

Next week, we’ll sort out the remade Chapter 3, and then building and asset production will proceed simultaneously.

That’s all for now.

Hello everyone,

Today is another cleanup-and-overwork day, and I’m here to report the latest progress from the team:

Chapter 2 voice acting has been completed and added to the game. Chapter 2 is officially finished (hooray!).

The rough build for Chapter 4 is complete; most of the assets have been prepared, and the polishing work is progressing steadily (nearly done).

Thank you all for your patience and support—words can hardly express our gratitude. We’ll keep giving it our all and burn the midnight oil.
