What are your thoughts on deraciné (the VR game that fromsoft made)? It's pretty obscure but it has a wonderful story (and plenty of bb references to the point that there was a rumor that it was supposed to be bb 2)
Sorry, I forgot about this ask as I read it when I was still in the bed and could not answer... But yeah, for now I don't know anything about this game! I first even heard it mentioned in Zullie's video about the Wormfaces, but I already was surprised why I literally never hear about it? ...and now that you've mentioned it is VR I guess I see why :') ...or maybe VR is way more common thing abroad and it is JUST obscure.
I simply quick-checked a few letsplays on Youtube to get the general idea, and it seems to have a really beautiful atmosphere? I just already really love the designs and the locations! Bloodborne's aesthetic is my favourite out of Soulsborne games; Victorian-ish vibe resonates with me more than other games sorta medieval fantasy setting. So yes, artistically, of course I love it! If I am not wrong, it functions like point-and-click adventure but in 3D. I will be real, I've always been absolute moron at point-and-click games for some reason?? However, the way From puts their stories into puzzles so far proven to be crafted for my brain particularly, so I'd feel confident enough to actually try it... ...if I ever get a VR device. xd I also seet hey played out us playing without combat and in VR as being a Faery children believe exists? This is brilliant! ALSO:
Tumblr media
sdhdfgsdfj Autism moment, but I was so glad to see this name xd Soulsborne consistently adds female characters named a variant of this name in their games sdhd Yuria in DeS, mentioned Yulia in DS1, Mentioned Zullie (character, not dataminer!) in DS2, Julie/Yurie in BB, Yuria in DS3... And now this xd I just like when they keep the pattern (glares at BB for breaking the 'cannibal swamp lady' trend)

Well, yeah, in any case, it seems like it is a lovely game! Actually when I tried to look what it was about, I got reminded of Bloodborne not only because of the designs and atmosphere, but also because of the system. Before I could buy PS4 and Bloodborne, I was stuck learning BB lore all by myself through descriptions, awful quality videos that never showed me what I NEEDED unless by accident, screenshots and images, datamined models and names, all that... And the way I had to move around everything I could to connect together the pieces and figure out the story and headcanons myself? It reminded me of how this game is played in particular. No combat, but just puzzles to solve and things to find. I am sorry if that makes no sense, the reasons brain activates distant memories sometimes can get too obscure or even random.
