It costs 905 yen, with a 30% discount to 633 yen until September 22.","whyItMatters":"Soul Chained finally cleared the Steam review that had blocked it over a naked boss, ending a delay that left the release date undetermined and putting the co-op Souls-like on sale at launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe developer said the release caps more than two years of sleepless nights, endless coffee, and nights spent haunted by bug nightmares.
