Soul Tide's journey is nearing its end. Developers IQI Games and publisher LemcnSun Entertainment have announced the game's End of Service (EOS). After a two-year and ten-month run since its global mobile launch, Soul Tide will officially shut down on February 28th, 2025.

Soul Tide's Final Curtain:

Effective immediately, new downloads are unavailable on the Play Store, and in-app purchases are disabled. Any remaining in-game resources should be utilized before the shutdown, as all game data will be permanently deleted.

However, a final content update is planned before the EOS, offering a special send-off for dedicated players. Details will be revealed soon via the developers' official X account.

A Retrospective on Soul Tide:

Soul Tide, a unique blend of anime girl collection, home simulation, and dungeon crawling with turn-based combat, initially launched in Japan in 2021. Set in a fantasy world ravaged by witches, the game incorporated dating sim and roguelite elements.

Initially praised for its engaging gameplay and charming storybook art style, and the depth of its characters (unlike many gacha games), Soul Tide eventually faced challenges. Issues such as unfavorable gacha rates, an unwieldy user interface, and inconsistent translation contributed to its decline.

While the game remains accessible on the Google Play Store for those with remaining resources, its time is limited.
