Steam Short Description

Descend into a surreal sci-fantasy world in this narrative-driven action roguelite, where every run reshapes your story. Sova’s expressive combat meets deeply branching dialogue and world-shifting decisions. Compose your violence, rewrite your past, and bend a crumbling realm to your will.

About Sova

Sova is a narrative-driven action roguelite set in a strange and beautiful sci-fantasy world. You play as the titular Sova, navigating the ever-shifting landscape of the Conjecture - fighting, exploring, and piecing together a story that bends with your decisions. Find the Constant, write your own past, and forge everyone’s future!

Sova fuses tight, expressive combat with branching narrative systems inspired by classic CRPGs. Every run is a chance to craft new builds, uncover hidden lore, and watch the world subtly shift in response to your actions - both in and out of battle.

Sova features a striking visual style that merges hand-crafted pixel art with modern visual effects, brought to life by a haunting, surreal soundtrack that dynamically responds to player actions, immersing you deeper into its eerie, otherworldly atmosphere.

Sova will enter Early Access in 2026, with a full release planned for 2027 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

What Can You Do?

Walk away from conversations, interrupt characters or punch them in the face mid-sentence. Choices leave lasting marks - on quests, environments, even combat! Enemies remember you, and encounters evolve into personal rivalries. Forge - and break - relationships with colorful characters, as your choices decide their fate.
Combat in Sova is fast, deliberate and electric. Cut through enemies with style and precision, weaving strikes, dodges, and abilities into a rhythm that’s uniquely yours. Each run is a chance to experiment and express yourself. Compose your own violence - and bend Conjecture to your will!
Sova’s world is rich, strange, and beautifully haunting. Explore this shifting landscape - from a sprawling, dying megacity to vibrant, flowing wastelands, to industrial hellscapes of metal and flesh. Uncover compelling encounters, characters and anomalies. Forge your own path through strange biomes, unlock hidden routes, and unearth the layered mysteries of a surreal apocalypse.

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.

About Entropic Island

Entropic Island is the video game development team based in Niš, Serbia. We released our debut title in 2023: Lawbringer, a roguelike arena brawler. That same year, we were awarded the Creative Europe MEDIA grant for narrative game development - becoming only the second Serbian team to receive funding within this program. The grant is now helping to co-fund our second title, Sova.

Receiving this support was a major milestone. It allowed us to explore ideas with greater ambition - narratively, mechanically, and aesthetically. As a young team, it also served as powerful validation that our creative direction and production plans are on the right track.

Our team is made up of experienced developers and enthusiasts whose collaboration spans over seven years across various commercial and hobbyist projects. Entropic Island is rooted in a simple philosophy: make games that are fun to play and a joy to create. Our development process is collaborative and creative, focused on crafting games that entertain, inspire, and reflect our shared sense of wonder. We aim to cultivate that spirit within both our team and our player community.
