Ozymandias, Thing Of Things!


Concept art of 'Ozymandias' (Soulstice: The Longest Night).

"The Soulstice gravy train rolls on, folks! This is 'Ozymandias', the second character of the roster. He's an Arabian magic lamp, who wanders on the Solstice to find a worthy owner for his family of sentient relics.

... You may be wondering how a teapot is going to bring you success. At one time, I would have joined you in that, but strange things can happen on the longest night..."

Soulstice: The Longest Night is a 2D fighting game in the works at Casa Data West. For more information on the game, check out our FaceBook page at http://www.tinyurl.com/datawestgames ! Thank you!

More Kappa Art...


More concept art of 'Kappa', the trickster yokai from the 2D indie fighter, 'Soulstice: The Longest Night'.

Want A Kappa Tea?


Straight from the pages of a Japanese folktale comes the first character of Soulstice, 'Kappa'. What he lacks in originality (and hair), he makes up for in agility and chill vibes (he'll totally invite you to the swamp for a kappa tea, should you happen to be suitably easy-going). Expect a move set involving water-based trickery, and some disgustingly small hitboxes.

For more on Kappa and Soulstice, when it drops, please keep an eye on our socials (which you know well about, because this is on one of them!)

Soulstice: The Longest Night Debut!


"The Winter Solstice brings with it the longest night of the year. Cloaked in a veil of shadow, those who do not fear the dark battle for supremacy. One will see the dawn - but who? Or... WHAT?"

Soulstice is a 2D fighting game project (that was previously a card game), underway at Data West Towers. It's inspired by both French Bread's 'Under Night', and Capcom's 'Vampire'.

... Keep it locked to our socials for more information, and don't scream too loudly - they'll hear you...
