My goal with Soul Mates was to tell a heartwarming story in a deathly setting.
It’s common for young adults to stress over finding “the one" before it's too late. In Soul Mates, however, I've aimed to alleviate that pressure through a lighthearted, humorous, and comforting experience. In this game, your soul mate waits for you on the other side.
As part of maintaining the game's vision, I had lots of fun constructing an original, reimagined afterlife. I designed the setting as a dimension where each new resident is sent to a specific resort depending on what their soul lacked during life. The player character has been assigned to Honeywood - a place for hopeless romantics who never found "the one". Here in Honeywood, the grim reaper acts as the resort's manager and a supportive matchmaker for lonely souls.
