Meet Soapstone, the app that lets you leave Bloodborne-style messages in the real world

21 Apr 2015

A new app called Soapstone allows its users to leave Bloodborne-like warnings in the real-world.

The developer of the app says it uses “reverse geotagging” to leave any of the app’s pre-set words or phrases and drops them in the real world… or, at least in Google Map’s representation of it.

Yellow soapstones let users leave text-based messages with one another, while the blue soapstone also allows users to attach an image.

Soapstone is available now on iOS and Android devices.

Thanks, GamesBeat.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
