About Devil Express: Soulstice

Glide into the most spirited night of the year with Devil Express: Soulstice—a quirky, easy-to-pick-up action adventure that will capture your imagination and warm your heart! Settle back into the familiarly uncanny halls of your curiously ‘less cursed’ apartment building on Soulstice Eve, where the supernatural meets the festive in a whirlwind of quirky charm. This isn’t just another holiday special—Soulstice serves up a bonus chapter for dedicated Devil Express fans, brimming with nostalgia, friendly faces, and a brand-new sense of mystery.

Step into the shoes of your lovable delivery hero as you take on the joyous role of gift-giver. Armed with nothing but quick reflexes and holiday spirit, you’ll traverse hallways brimming with playful spookiness, encounter old friends (and a few odd surprises), and celebrate season’s greetings devil-style. The art pops with every pixel, offering a delightful indie aesthetic that channels the cozy yet eerie mood unique to Devil Express.

On your journey, interact with adorably oddball residents—each encounter bursting with witty dialogue and heartwarming moments. The controls are delightfully simple: cruise with W/A or Left/Right Arrows, and interact with Spacebar or Up Arrow. The low barrier to entry ensures anyone can jump right in, while longtime fans will relish the allusions to memorable moments from the original—and giggle at new additions like Worf as Santa and the hilarious arrival of a Monkey!

While this adventure is short and sweet, it’s packed with secret nooks, clever character cameos, and the kind of infectious cheer that turns a spooky apartment into an unforgettable holiday home. It’s the perfect pick for browser gamers seeking an accessible, festive break, or die-hard Devil Express players craving one more chapter before the final credits fade. So grab your virtual gifts and get ready to deliver joy—Soulstice style!

How to Play

Getting started in Devil Express: Soulstice is a breeze—just fire up the downloadable game and step into a delightful pixelated world teeming with festive atmosphere and subtle chills. Move your delivery hero using the W and A keys, or Left and Right Arrow keys, making navigation smooth whether you’re a keyboard veteran or a casual player. To interact with characters or deliver gifts, press Spacebar or Up Arrow—watch as the story unfolds through witty dialogue and charming animations.

Begin your journey in the heart of the apartment, checking your list of residents and gifts for delivery. Explore each floor, knock on doors, and strike up conversations with quirky characters—be sure to visit both familiar faces and unexpected newcomers.
