In Stray Souls, you play as Daniel; an average teenager whose life is forever changed after inheriting the home of his estranged grandmother and meeting a mysterious woman with intimate knowledge about his family, the house, and its shocking connection to his past.

According to the devs, the game will have classic horror combat with Soulslike precision. Furthermore, Stray Souls will attempt to put a fresh spin on the modern action-horror genre.

By using Unreal Engine 5, Jukai Studio will aim to offer advanced facial animations for a wide range of human emotions. The game will also have dynamic lighting and weather. However, there is no word on whether Stray Souls will support Nanite or Lumen.
