Description: A RPG game combining Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne.

Gameplay
You choose your character from 4 (+1 that you can unlock later into the game) different starting classes (Knight, Adventurer, Aristocrat, Sorcerer and the Transcender) and then you can take 2 NPCs out of the 12 existing souls that you find throughout the game. Afterwards you start exploring the various dungeons called dark sanctuaries. You use bonfires to fast travel from location to another in a similar way as the souls series way of transportation, and defeat various enemies and bosses whilst collecting and crafting stronger equipment. According to the game site there are multiple endings affected by your choices and your class though i haven't confirmed this.

Controls:
Movement - Arrow keys
Interact/Confirm - Z
Decline - X
W - Hide text during H CG

Story:
(This is my understanding how the story goes, could be wrong since i don't speak japanese.)
The Kingdom of Haillord falls under a curse of darkness. You then are resurrected into the gloomy and old Haillord Kingdom where the king sends you to the Sanctuary of Darkness (if i understood correctly) to break the curse.
(It's pretty much how dark souls' story goes)

Some things worth mentioning:
The game has a sort of base/home location (Puppet of Haven) that you can teleport to by interacting with the first bonfire you find.
To save your game you need interact with a gravestone that you find in the Puppet of Haven.
To level up your characters you talk to Alma and use the games currency, which increases every time you lvl up.
To level your teammates you talk to them and choose the third option.
Mei/Mel can craft you some gear and reconstruct your home.
Alma's room has a mirror that you can interact with and customize hear appearance with items you find in the dungeons.

Launch in 3 ways to choose from:
- Through start.bat
- In Windows Control Panel - Language & Regional Standards - Change System Language - Japanese (may require reboot)
