The Studio Behind the Mystery
Soma Games was founded in 2005 in Newberg, Oregon by Chris Skaggs, with a mission often described as creating games in the spirit of C.S. Lewis — entertainment that grapples with deep questions without being preachy. The studio has built a reputation for thoughtful, faith-informed game design, and Verity Lux represents their most ambitious narrative project to date.
Released on November 8, 2024, the game was successfully funded through Kickstarter and has been recognized as a Realm Makers finalist.

And when you’re invited into their ranks, you quickly learn that behind the polished articles and public transparency lies a constant hum of secrets, whispers, and dangers lurking beneath the surface of the city…
At the center of it all is Verity Lux, the agency’s sharpest mind and most relentless investigator. She’s earned her reputation through equal parts talent, grit, and a stubborn moral compass that refuses to bend. But her newest assignment threatens to shake even her steady resolve: the sudden and baffling disappearance of Walker Kahmenos, a celebrity who thrives on attention, ego, and spectacle. For someone like him to simply vanish? Something is deeply wrong.
Hunt down the truth in The Reluctant Redemption of Verity Lux, where you’ll guide Verity through a web of clues, half-truths, and tangled relationships, choosing which leads to chase and which voices to trust.

A cast of unforgettable personalities fills every hand-drawn scene, from endearing allies to people you’ll love to distrust.
As you sift through social feeds, connect dots, and wander the richly drawn world humming with cosmic music and city ambience, the mystery tightens around you. Every decision nudges Verity toward revelation… or toward the shadows threatening to swallow her city whole. This is a story of truth, redemption, and the cost of seeing clearly and you’re the one holding the threads.
