About Sova
In Sova, players step into the role of the titular character, navigating the ever-shifting landscape of the Conjecture: fighting, exploring, and forging (or breaking) relationships with colorful characters.
- Walk away from conversations, interrupt characters, or punch them mid-sentence.
- Cut through enemies with fluid, stylish combat.
- Explore shifting, surreal environments - from a dying megacity to vibrant wastelands and industrial hellscapes of metal and flesh.
Based in Niš, Serbia, Entropic Island is a small, independent studio dedicated to narrative-rich and mechanically ambitious games. The team released its debut title, Lawbringer, a roguelike arena brawler, in 2023. That same year, the studio was awarded the Creative Europe MEDIA grant for narrative game development, co-funding the production of Sova and allowing the team to push its storytelling and design to new heights.
Key Features
- Narrative-driven roguelike: A story that unfolds organically through gameplay. No two runs are the same and each death peels a new layer of the story.
- Deeply branching dialogue: Shape conversations and the world through dynamic, expressive systems that go far beyond yes/no choices.
- Evolving Combat: Fast, fluid, and expressive. Master new abilities, craft builds on the fly, and win against overwhelming odds.
- Exploration with impact: Discover hidden routes, unlock secrets, and impose “laws” onto the world to shape future runs.
- Unique Setting & Style: A fusion of New Weird fiction, Eastern European myth, and speculative sci-fantasy - brought to life through beautiful hand-crafted pixel art and a reactive, haunting soundtrack.
