Fortunately, Lady Deora is able to make him pause long enough to recognize an Envoy.

''Soulframe'' is an upcoming HighFantasy MassivelyMultiplayerOnline action game from Creator/DigitalExtremes, the creators of ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}''. Yes, the name similarity is intentional. No, ''Soulframe'' is not a SpinOff.

In the world of Alca, the gods in the sky have cast a spell over the people, making them forget their history, their culture, their past. You play as an [[PrestigiousPlayerTitle Envoy]], capable of communing with spirits of your ancestors. It is up to you to reconnect with the past and stop the sky's servants, the Ode, from destroying your people's land.

The game's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O95JgXgqbQ reveal trailer]] was released at Tennocon 2022. At Tennocon 2023, the gameplay trailer, titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PPPNbJ3UKc&t=48s Soulframe Preludes]], was showcased.

!This video game contains examples of:

* AlwaysOverTheShoulder: Like its predecessor, ''Soulframe'' is played in third-person.
* CanisMajor: In the reveal trailer, the Envoy is shown rescuing a giant wolf creature. The gameplay trailer shows that it lives in the player's hub area, and can be summoned to both attack enemies and ferry the player around.
* TheCorruption: The Ode seem to be working alongside some sort of metallic, possibly technological liquid that can corrupt living creatures; it turns [[TheMarvellousDeer Garren Rool]] into the hostile Torment Stag, and it's implied to be behind Lady Deora's servitude towards the Ode, as she exclaims MyGodWhatHaveIDone once the Envoy "cleanses" her soul of it.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Both the reveal and gameplay trailer hint that the Envoy was once a member of the Ode before switching sides and fighting against them.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: The Envoy seems to have a particular connection to animals; they ride a CanisMajor, have a bird familiar that helps them in battle, their goal in the gameplay trailer is to free a magical deer, and the trailer itself opens with the Envoy sleeping in a pile of small woodland creatures. The developers even stated that Disney movies were one of the inspirations for the game.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: The Envoy is shown riding a giant white wolf.
* IdentityAmnesia: Played with; the spell that's the cause behind the world's troubles erased the cultural memory of the people rather than their individual memories.
* TheMarvellousDeer: The gameplay trailer is all about saving a mystical deer from the clutches of the Ode. The deer in question can talk, and grants Envoy a gift.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast:
** The boss version of Garren Rool is titled the "Torment Stag".
** The background chatter overheard during the gameplay trailer mentions someone (or some''thing'') called "the Collector", which is never a good thing to hear, especially after sacrifices have been mentioned but minutes earlier.
* PrestigiousPlayerTitle: The player character is titled the Envoy.
* TalkingAnimal: Garren Rool, the stag the Envoy pursues during the gameplay trailer, is a talking deer.
