A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Welcome to Illayla; one thousand years after the collapse of contemporary society. 


What happened? No one remembers. 

The human race? Gone.

Centuries later, the last surviving human is found with no memory, no past and a sprightly AI in his head that doesn't know the difference between humans and computers.

This post-apocalyptic future consist of sparse, primitive tribes that cling to scavenged remnants of revered technology. Their lives are made hazardous by the lethal Blackzones; swathes of abandoned, bountiful lands that are infested with ominous machine-creatures called ‘Demons’. Only the illusive Blackrunners, a sect of deft survivalists, know how to navigate the Blackzones and plunder them for precious Salvage in the name of their clan’s prosperity.

Together with the temperamental husky Loken, the last human must train to become the newest Blackrunner and discover the mysteries of the Blackzones, the incomprehensible creatures stalking them and the contentious question of his own origin.

This is a sci-fi/romance FVN intended to be released in instalments. It features a human male protagonist with a changeable name and a single m/m love interest. Choices may alter dialogue or relationship dynamics, but are mostly used for roleplaying purposes and have no major consequential effects on the story. There will be a single ending.

Soulcreek is a cosmic horror tale at its core, but also features comedy, drama and explicit romance. The story is a slow burn, so don't expect intense horror from the start.

There's no update schedule for the project as this is entirely a non-commercial passion project, however I will aim for an update every three months! If you wish to follow the development of project or get in touch with me, the best way is on twitter

I'm fk getting goosebumps at the end of the new update! 

At first, I downloaded it but didn't plan on reading it for months cause I thought this wasn't my type of FVN and I still reading other vn at the time. Then randomly I was bored and decided to give it a chance.

But oh my, little did I know how crazy good the writing, the story, and the world-building are. 

It was so good I couldn't stop reading. Then I went through all of it in 2 days and I literary couldn't go to sleep without finishing it. ( it's taken all of my free time, I was awake at 5 AM cause I couldn't stop)

The story is so long, and so many things happened, I can't believe that there only been 11 days since Alex woke up.

The ending of Day 11 left me craving more. This work is truly a masterpiece; no one has ever cooked this good.

(+2)

I'm sorry but I have to process this update, the twists are never ending. The writing is far better than any vn I've read so far. It gave me goosebumps twice.

(1 edit) (+1)

Holy hell, I don't think I've ever been more upset to see a TBC screen at the end of a build. Dude you and your team are genuinely some of the best VN writers/artists I've seen in the last decade. 

Wow, holy crap, this left me speechless. Made me tear up too.

(+3)

Thank you my glorious king for this delectable meal.  

(+3)

I have no words, except


But seriously tho this build is an absolute WHIPLASH and got me tweakin and shi— I have never been so enraged by a To Be Continued screen, keep em coming

(+1)

This is a true masterpiece!! Cant wait for more!!!

(+1)

It's almost been a week since the update and my chest STILL feels heavy whenever I think about the story, so much happened and I am still processing it, my imagination is running WILD from that cliffhanger 

I have yet to finish the VN, but it's still amazing!
I actually came back to reading it after a long period of... hibernation.
The new animations and story fixes at the beginning were something I didn't know were needed, as they indeed made the VN better.

On a side note, I think I found a song that would be suitable for Loken as his theme song:

Anyways, thank you so much for your wonderful work!

Fuck umm that was intense

A true masterpiece 

I thought day 10 was cool

But man day 11 was truly magnificent 

Love the story so far

The update was nice

Waiting for the next one 

Everything was amazing

How can i donate for the project? This is so far, the best visual novel i ever had the pleasure to read.

(+1)

Caralho indeed, o cliffhanger me matou.

(+1)

Not once could I have ever predicted what was going to happen at the end of this build. I'm blown away. I'm feeling so many things at once. I am losing my mind at how much I enjoy this. Please, take your time with the next update. I need to see how it works out.

Okay maybe it's just me but I really didn't like loken in this update so they capture us and almost wanted to kill us and he expects of us not fighting back ? Like???

(+7)

Okay, but at the same time, given what he watched, it's much more likely he felt so many conflicting emotions, not the least of which being surprised at how the matter was dealt with. I think he can be afforded some leniency, given the circumstances.

(+1)

Fighting back is one thing, mindless mass murder is another. He also felt good while doing so, it's reasonable that Loken would be distraught by that.

Right, and let's not forget that it was ALEX who made the conscious decision not to tell Loken he was crashing out before the massacre, so I personally could see how Loken would be hurt.

....now waiting again for an update 🥲, hope the new one will come sooner, I'm starving!

(+3)

That new update was crazy! This story goes so hard. The lore, the twist, the lake omg! I read The Whispers of Carmine and that made the update beyond epic. Amazing storytelling.

bro, that make so much sense.

(+1)

(+3)(-1)

Spoilers!:





















Why, Kaius?! Why?! And I had a crush you! Why would you betray us?!

And I feel so sad for the MC! I wanna hug him so bad! With Loken behind me as well! Hopefully, Nikto doesn't die though! *sniffles in tears*

But awesome chapter as always! Honestly, I don't know why this isn't popular? Maybe some advertisement is needed?

Just read the update and I've got a wild theory.

Spoilers below
































In Wyatt's message he said he was going to disappoint 'it' which I believe to be demon. My theory is that the demon in question is Glitch and that's how he knows about the algorithm, byte and the spire. Cause when you think about it the pieces add up... Or I'm grasping at straws here.

(+2)

What a dogdamn great update! Like, wow, I’m completely blown away 😳 the story is sooo freaking good! Amazing work, really

(+2)

GOD THIS UPDATE WAS AMAZING sadly it ended in really intresting place hope next one will come out fast

(+2)

Excellent update and plotwist!!

All I can say now is.... I'm feeling everything at the same time!

(+3)

Giggling and kicking my feet right now just how this amazing this is, AHHHHHAHAHAHA~!!!!

(+11)

i think he'll be down down down the road , down the witches road




anyway why Wyatt is so hot LMAO 😭😭😭

(+2)

the wait was worth it, as always♥

(+9)

WHY THE CLIFFHANGER!?😭😭 I swear I have read over 50 vns but this is just the best. This is so underrated, I wish it were as popular as adastra, echo or rtf.

(+3)

OMG REALLLLL😭

(1 edit)

To be fair, in the dev log or update log or what ever you want to call it, he said that there wasn't a good point to leave it off, as every where would be a cliffhanger. But also very true I wish more people played it.

(+1)

with every new update, the story just kept going hard

(+6)

Great update. Can't wait for the next one... when it comes out 3 to 4 months later. 😿😿😿

Spoilers below




















Alex in the Castle be like:


(+1)

it is crazy how far it has come and how long I've just realized it's been since I downloaded version 4, which I still haven't finished by the way cause I've been getting through it in chunks where I just sit down and play, though more lately just remember it's there and play it, gonna finish that and then hold out for the final build, can't wait to see where this story I already love goes, seeing "ACT 2" was insane cause there was already so much story told, like I was thinking "gawdamn I probably downloaded this right before the final build" but nope, you are just a goddamn efficient and fantastic writer, anyway, gonna be a little annoying playing the game over again to see all the new cleanup and CGs and stuff, but I couldn't be happier that it was made even better, so a bright thing overall, anyway here ends my incoherent rambling that contains no periods, love ya, love your game, can't wait to see how it ends... or most of the game for that matter, and I cannot wait to see what you do next too if you decide to do anything

(+1)

AYAYA ITS OUT AAAHHH ! ! !

(+4)

IM SORRY THE CLIFFHANGER???

oh... maybe it was a bad idea to look at the comments rn...
