It’s been a little over a week since Soul Sacrifice graced PS Vita, so we tracked down celebrated creator Keiji Inafune to get his thoughts on the game’s launch – and how PS Vita players are adapting to the game’s morally murky gameplay choices.

I hope you’re ready for Soul Sacrifice – the demo will be available tomorrow afternoon on PSN!
Your first reaction to the demo might be, “Holy moly, this is a LOT of demo!” … and you’d be right! The entire first chapter of the full game is included, all of which is playable with up to three other friends via online or ad-hoc multiplayer. Inafune-san made it a special point for the demo to be quite substantial, as you can read in his comments below:

Hi, everyone! Soul Sacrifice launches exclusively for PlayStation Vita across Europe from April 30th… Just weeks away! Many of you have been asking about the demo coming to Europe and we’re finally able to address your questions.
First of all, I’m excited to announce that the demo is coming to the EU PlayStation Store on April 17th. Thank you so much for waiting patiently!
As for what you can expect from the Soul Sacrifice demo… It begins from the depths of despair, with you playing as a slave to be sacrificed, owned and imprisoned by a ruthless mage.

I’m just back from the wonderful city of San Francisco and the 2013 Game Developers Conference. Whilst I was there I met with some members of the press to give them an exclusive look at the first two acts in Puppeteer, and also share an exciting gameplay feature reveal… Hero Heads!
As Kutaro, you’ll find all sorts of amazing heads to act as your noggin as you journey to get your real head back from Moon Bear King. Be careful to collect and keep the right ones, as some have the power to change and shape the world around you, while others unlock bonus stages – adding even more adventure and hilarity to this dark and fantastical tale!
But I’m excited to finally let the cat out of the bag (no, not Ying-Yang… I mean a metaphorical cat) about four very special heads that Kutaro will encounter on his journey and aid him in his quest. Each Hero Head possesses a power that once belonged to one of the four legendary “Moon Heroes” who fought valiantly to protect the Moon Goddess from being overthrown by the evil Moon Bear King. Alas, their powers were no match for Moon Bear King’s 12 generals who ultimately defeated the heroes, but what if someone were brave enough to attain all four of those powers and use them together? Hmmm…

The time has finally come to reveal the EU box art for Soul Sacrifice!
I’ve been working closely with the studio team to produce a piece of artwork that demonstrates the element of sacrifice in a clear and sophisticated way. I hope you’ll agree that what they’ve produced is an iconic image that looks really smart. A special thanks to all the team for their hard work on this.
But that’s not all – for those of you that are fans of the original Japanese artwork, I’ve been thinking of you too! On the reverse side of the sleeve, you’ll find the original Japanese artwork, giving you the option to flip the sleeve over and showcase that instead.
