Soulmask is a sandbox survival game where players take on the role of a character who has escaped a sacrificial ritual and found a powerful ancient mask. The core experience involves exploring a primitive world, building a tribe by recruiting followers, and uncovering the mysteries behind the masks. These masks are a central feature of the game, as they bestow unique and powerful abilities upon the wearer. Each of the ten masks offers a distinct playstyle, from enhancing combat prowess and stealth to providing powerful support and survival advantages. Players can harness ancient powers by finding and upgrading these artifacts, gaining significant passive buffs and potent active skills to overcome the harsh environment and its inhabitants.
