Shard of My Soul

Shard of My Soul is a 2D dating sim for players who want a slow-burn college drama with a darker, corruption-tinged edge. It suits readers who like character-driven stories more than fast payoff.

Story

Kathleen starts her first year at the same college her older sister Viola vanished from months earlier, with no word or explanation since. Between classes, new friendships, and a growing circle of people who don't all have good intentions, Kathleen has to decide how far she's willing to go to find out what really happened to her sister.

Gameplay

Play unfolds as a dating sim structured around Kathleen's college life: attending school, choosing who to spend time with, and steering conversations and choices that shape her relationships and reputation. Decisions push her toward different social paths, some rooted in romance and trust, others in manipulation, pressure, or exposure, with her sister's disappearance running underneath as the throughline motivating what she's willing to risk.

Features

• School-life setting with a cast of classmates, staff, and other figures tied to Kathleen's daily routine
• Branching relationship paths that range from consensual romance to coercive or exploitative dynamics
• 2D character art with animated scenes
• Themes of blackmail, domination, and reputation used as recurring pressure points on Kathleen's choices
