Based purely on gameplay mechanics, the new <a href="http://joystiq.com/tag/@xbox,indie-games">Xbox Indie Game</a> from Kydos Studio, titled <a href="http://www.kydosstudio.com/soul/index.html"><em>Soul</em></a>, is simple. The goal: Guide a dead man's soul to heaven. You do this by moving the soul through corridors while avoiding the walls and various hazards. It's the background art and atmosphere that make the game freaky, however. The game is filled with disturbing imagery and pop-out scares, like some kind of nightmarish game of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZAaHv_8xUk">Operation</a>. Check out a trailer after the break and grab the trial version using the link below.<br />

<div align="left">We knew that in addition to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/10/some-nice-concept-art-for-soul-calibur-legends/">Siegfried and Ivy</a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/supersearch/?q=soul+calibur&amp;sort=date"><span style="font-style: italic;">Soul Calibur Legends</span></a> would feature other playable characters from the series. Everyone's favorite underdressed ninja, Taki, is joining the roster, to help the other two battle wave after wave of wimpy-looking mummies and three-foot-tall ninjas. Astaroth is also visible, though it's not clear if he's a player character or an enemy.<br /><br />Of course, now that we think about it, putting a female assassin in the game hews even closer to <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_By_Degrees">Death By Degrees</a> </span>territory. Well, <span style="font-style: italic;">Soul Calibur</span> was always better than <span style="font-style: italic;">Tekken</span>, so maybe the spinoff action games will follow the same pattern!</div>

He refuses to speak the title by name, fearing some sort of silly massive lawsuit, but he comments that a very popular third-party fighting franchise seen on the Gamecube is coming to the Wii. Unless you count the import <em>Naruto 3</em>, <em>Soul Calibur</em> from Namco is pretty much the end-all-be-all of third-party fighting games on the 'Cube.<br /><br />However, he also comments that the franchise will no longer be seen as a fighting game, but as an adventure game. The mythos behind Soul Calibur certainly has the potential to drive a fully-fledged adventure, but will the play mechanics remain similar? And are we just getting this as a runner-up prize because the 360 and PS3 might receive the long-awaited <em>Soul Calibur 4? </em>Only <strike>Miss Cleo</strike> time will tell.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/07/soul-calibur-adventure/">Soul Calibur ...
