ABOUT THE PROJECT
What is Souly Damned?
Souly Damned fuses hardboiled noir set in a distored reality. The series begins during the romanticised golden age of the 1920's where a young female detective navigates the challenges of a determined woman, hell bent on uncovering the truth behind her past. Rooted in mythological intrigue, the series explores themes of redemption, corruption, identity, and the pupeteering forces that threaten human choice.
The true question is:
Are we all just souly damned... is Fate that cruel?

Our Goals
Our production aims to bring this world to life through an animated short, a novelization, an artbook, visual novel game, and other entertainment mediums
