About the company

40 SOULS is a vehicular combat roguelite where corporations and cults run a tournament sacrifice under the watch of brutal gods. The player completes runs across zones and arenas, fights waves and bosses, makes choices between fights, and upgrades a combat vehicle with weapons, modules, and upgrades. The setting is a world where one city is destroyed, not a full post apocalyptic planet.

We are currently building a demo and preparing an investor pitch. This stage is unpaid. After the demo we plan to secure financing and move into paid development.

Team: ~35 people, including AA/AAA experienced specialists. Visual direction is already strong, now we want to level up environment quality and scene assembly for a high end demo.
