I’ve increased my Intimate of Devils to 15. It seems it can not go further without selling my soul. Being a Shepard of Souls, I’m disinclined to do this, but if it’s recoverable, and will lead to some good stories, then I might consider it.
Then again, is it really useless to build up your Intimate of Devils without eventually selling your soul? I was hoping there’d be an option to further the story without doing it.
Well, you could just utterly ruin it. If you follow the painful process of "Seeking the Name", you will be presented with the need to utterly disfigure your soul to the point where the devil you are with will wretch. Otherwise I don’t think being an intimate with a devil or seeking the name are worth it, especially to a Seeker of Souls.
Keep you soul, there are many like it but that one is yours.

Intimate with devils is the story about how you lose your soul. The only choice is to not play it, a choice I’m pleased to have done.
It can be recovered, but only using fate/nex. If you do end up “Seeking The Name”, then you’ll find it’s impossible to advance at a certain point without a soul, so other than the items you get (nothing rare), it doesn’t really gain you anything.
I’ve sold my soul about 6 times, recovered it every time except the last. I don’t have one right now, but that’s because I’m hoping a specific card will show up and I’ll be able to replay that storylet.
If you do sell your soul, you get an opportunity card with the Capering Reckler has a gift for you, if you select the “I only put it down for a moment”, you get 300 souls…
The PoSI reward is better at 24 visions of the surface or so.

Possibly, but I am in the process of grinding them so I can get an Overgoat and the Fence I use gives me 50% more than what I can get at the market, so at 300 it becomes very profitable.[/li][li]
