in a vacuum this isnt the wrong thing to do, but in context this is the capstone of a series of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas”.

you don’t have to understand people to make this move. just market trends

i think the characters and story are a definite high spot. the game is saying something about pollution and capitalism and how the two enable each other. it’s a little hammy but i really respect the devs for going for it.

but… the game feels really janky to play. it doesn’t have the tightness of the fromsoft souls games. it feels like a souls game was shoehorned into the default unity physics with no finesse.
