Meet Sophie: Starlight Whispers, Brazilian Indie Game Finalist at BGS 2025 with a Charismatic Protagonist

Drops of Games received an email from Youth Gaming about their upcoming game, Sophie: Starlight Whispers (Steam link provided). Youth Gaming recently updated the game’s Steam page, which now features a new official trailer and a free demo. At the Brazil Game Show (BGS) 2025, the Gremio Esports team created content that attracted over 250,000 views on Instagram Reels. Additionally, 18 game-focused influencers generated content for approximately 264,000 social media followers during the event. The demo has received excellent reviews and was shortlisted as a finalist for Best Brazilian Game and Best Indie Game at BGS 2025, suggesting strong potential for the full release. Youth Gaming is preparing to announce the release date and seeks support to capitalize on this momentum. Before developing Starlight Whispers, Youth Gaming created Sophie: Starlight Re:Volver. That previous game secured $6 million in funding from venture capital firms including March Capital, Lowercase Capital, Advancit Capital, CourtsideVC, Machine Shop Ventures, Luma Labs, and Cherrytree VC. It was slated to debut in Q2 2018. However, despite substantial financial backing, the development team struggled to create a compelling product. Players who playtested Starlight Re:Volver at AnimeNYC 2025 considered it a Hades clone.

The demo offers a preview of the gameplay, exploration, combat, and narrative, and runs smoothly in videos and livestreams.
