Description

Soulmask See on Steam

Soulmask is an open-world survival game developed by CampFire Studio and published by Qooland Games. The adventure takes place in a world inspired by primitive civilizations and tribal cultures, where players must survive in a wilderness teeming with danger.

After discovering a mysterious ancient mask with special powers, the player gains the ability to control different warriors and inherit their skills. This unique mechanic allows players to adapt their playstyle to different situations, whether it's combat, exploration, or crafting.

The gameplay combines resource gathering, village building, farming, hunting, and combat against wild creatures or enemy tribes. Players can recruit companions, grow their community, and automate certain tasks to improve their camp.

With its vast open world, in-depth survival system, and tribal management mechanics, Soulmask offers an immersive experience that blends exploration, strategy, and progression in a hostile and mysterious environment.

Deploying a server

Prerequisites: Having a hosting on which the Drooft Game Hosting service is installed.
If you haven't already, please follow the installation guide for the Drooft Game Hosting service.

Installing a Soulmask game server takes between 5 and 10 minutes, mostly due to the game server download time!

Steps:

1 Go to the page adding game server and fill in: host, game (Soulmask), server name, game port, game port 2, RCON port (do not expose it on the internet) and access type (password, friends, public).
2 Open these two ports in UDP/TCP on your router/firewall, as well as a third automatic UDP port (game port + 1) used internally by the game engine, not separately configurable. Port 18888 is also reserved internally by Soulmask — don't use it and don't expose it on the internet.
3 Wait a few minutes for the server to switch to the "Game server turned off" (depending on your connection speed).
4 Start your server (button "to start up") — on Windows, if a prompt asks you to install a dependency, accept it. All that's left is to play and invite your friends !

Tips:

Check that the server port is open on the internet (UDP and TCP). You can test whether your ports are open directly from your game server's page, using the icon .
