Veil of the Soulstones is a real-time auto battler where you equip loot dropped by enemies to progressively strengthen your character while discovering synergies between gear and abilities.

Hey folks!The first update to the Veil of the Soulstones closed playtest is here!Before we get into the changes, thank you SO MUCH for your feedback so far!

The Veil of the Soulstones Playtest begins this Thursday, 15/10/2026!There's still a long way to go for the game so we want to start small, to test the game's overall feel and design, as well as the connectivity and the game's stability in multi-player, and we need YOU to help shape the future of the game!How do I get in? If you have already signed in through the Join Playtest button here on Steam you are all set. We will be calling in tester from that list! However, if you want an extra chance to participate, please follow this link to our discord where you can get more information on the extra invites that will happen over there!The test will start very small, so if you don't get selected yet, don't worry, we want to run these small tests frequently!Can I play with my friends?Yes, please! if you get invited, you will be able to invite up to 3 additional friends to test the game with you. Coop is at the heart of Veil of the Soulstones and we would love to know how your group finds this adventure!Why don't you invite everyone already?The game is still taking shape. A lot can (and likely will) change, and each player will only ever experience the game "for the first time" once. We want to make sure that with each stage of testing the game evolves and we learn from each of those first-time experiences as much as we can, and keeping it small allow us to keep agile and working on key features of the game.We have been a bit quiet lately as we are focused on getting to this point and we really appreciate your patience! We hope to see you soon in the playtest, and moving forward we will be sharing more news about the game and what we've been working on so far!Best wishes,~Veil of the Soulstones Team
