VIP Card Elements#

Bg_vip.png Icon_vip.png
Leftover image files pointing to a "VIP" system that was scrapped at some point during the game's development. After early dataminers leaked said files some time after January 11, which caused distress among the playerbase due to perceived disdain towards such systems seen as "pay-to-win", the developers released a statement on January 17 addressing the leak and reassuring players that it was scrapped and that there are no plans to implement said system in the future.1

Unused CGs#

Video

Eversoul_Talk_Event_Intro_Mephisto_01_video.mp4

An unused CG that would've presumably been used during the first episode of the Main Story's prelude. It depicts the Savior, fresh from being summoned to another world, and his first encounter with Mephistopheles.

Unused Sounds#

BGM_Boss_Battle_01#

Unused boss theme with no presumed use case. It was eventually replaced in the game assets by the boss theme for the Vivienne Evil Soul Subjugation boss battle following the June 15, 2023 update.

BGM_Charite#

Unused battle theme for the guild raid boss, Charite. It was added in a July 2024 patch, but not implemented in-game. Later, in August 2024, a completely different battle theme was implemented instead. As of the 23rd January 2025 patch, the battle theme has been re-added as BGM_Battle_08, but still never saw use before the game shut down.

BGM Charite (unused)

BGM Charite FULL

BGM_CT_Velanna_A#

Unused character theme song for Velanna found within the initial release assets. May have been repurposed into the music that plays in the opening cutscene, leaving BGM_CT_Velanna_B ("End of Hatred, End of Mind") as her sole character theme.

BGM_CT_Velanna_A (unused)

BGM_IntroMovie01

BGM_VictoryMotion#

A short victory fanfare that played when the player clears a battle stage. After the initial release of the game, this sound file would later become unused following the very first update on January 12, 2023, as the developers may have opted to have the characters' victory dialogue be more audible.

Player's Birthday Voice Lines#

In addition to voice lines to celebrate the soul's own birthday, each soul also has voice lines to celebrate the player's birthday. However, there has never been any way for the player to set a birthday.

Title Calls#

When starting the game, a random soul will call out the game's title "Eversoul". Each soul also has voice lines to call out the game's publisher "Kakao Games" and developer "Nine Ark".

V_Catarina_Anniversary01_KR#

During a June 2024 patch that added Chapter 8 Part 1 of the main story, Cherrie's voice lines were revamped. This extended to her 1st anniversary voice line, even though the 1st anniversary had passed and currently there's no (easy) way to replay voice lines.

Original

Revised (unused)

V_Hazel_Anniversary01_KR#

Unused 1st anniversary voice line for Hazel. Hazel was released after the 1st anniversary.

V_Ina_Anniversary01_KR#

Unused 1st anniversary voice line for Ina. Ina was never implemented.
