After a successful initial launch on itch.io, Prison of Husks is back with new funding and a developer studio called Glass Head Dolls to evolve its Soulslike gameplay.
Described as a “nostalgic” single-player Soulslike during FGS Live From Los Angeles, Prison of Husks sees you wake up in Lithos Plateau, an afterlife painted by someone pure of heart. However, that painter is now gone, and left behind are the crumbling ruins of what was once beautiful.
It’s up to you to find out what happened to the painter, but also where your beloved is.
Exploration is going to be key, as Prison of Husks “aims to recapture the magic of wandering a compact and dense world full of shortcuts that loop back on themselves”.
In fact, the whole theme of the game is love in one way or another. As you explore, you’ll find others whose own hearts are aching and work to restore their love. Even the bosses are lusting after each other by the sounds of it.
Prison of Husks will have a wide arsenal of weaponry to choose from to take them down though, with the ability to modify your build with rings and brooches to suit your own playstyle.
There’s no release date for Prison of Husks yet, but you can download a demo on Steam now to check it out for yourself. Don’t forget to add it to your wishlist if you’re into its PS1 Soulslike vibes.
