It’s good to see you again, Soul Seekers! We’ve got a lot of exciting news to share this month, so please read all the way through the end. This update contains Chapter 6 Character Reveal, New FXs Preview, and new background art. We’re also announcing the official release date for Chapter 6!
Chapter 6 Character Reveal
Meet Hue, the main character of Chapter 6!
Every Trial brings someone new into Grey’s life. A person who starts as a stranger and becomes someone he can’t forget. With only two Trials left, Grey has learned to expect the unexpected. But before the choker can even react, Hue calls Grey by his name. Who is he? How is he connected to Grey’s past? And why does he look at Grey with a mixture of fear and longing?
Hue is trying very hard to hide something. Grey wants to give him time to open up, the way they always do. But as the days pass and the truth starts surfacing, everything Grey set out to do will be shaken. Can he still help Hue when he discovers his real identity?
Will you reinforce Hue’s Humility with Haelo by your side? Or guide him toward Pride with Horne? With every chapter, the line between Virtue and Sin grows thinner. Which one does Hue truly need? And which will you choose, once the labels stop fitting?
In Colin’s story, Haelo and Horne felt their certainty crack for the first time. In Hue’s story, that crack runs deeper than either of them is ready for. This Trial will truly test what they believe and what they stand for, and before it’s over, you may find your Guardians in places you never expected them to be. And this time… Heaven and Hell won’t stay silent.
And Grey? He’s spent five Trials putting everyone else first. In Chapter 6, that stops being an option. The memories he’s been reaching for are finally within his grasp. His life, his family, the truth of who he was before… But some memories don’t arrive gently. Can he face the truth without breaking?
Background Previews
We wanted to show you a couple of backgrounds from Hue’s story. We’re excited to share Hue’s Apartment and Horne’s Ritual Chamber, where one of this chapter’s intimate scenes takes place. When you play, you’ll also see places like Local Fair and Care Home Garden. This chapter covers a lot of emotional ground, and we wanted the environments to reflect that. Take a look:
FX Previews
Chapter 6 is an emotional ride! Grey will experience moments of warmth and tenderness with both of his Guardians that we hope will stay with you. But he’ll also relive a memory of a phone call that shook him to his core…
Chapter 6 Release Date
And finally, the release date of Chapter 6! Chapter 6 will arrive on August 18th, 2026! It will be a free update for everyone who owns the Early Access version, whether you bought it on Steam, Itch.io, or directly through our website.
When we get closer to launch, we’ll share the exact release time and update instructions, so keep an eye on our channels!
