A tense and punishing third-person action game with deliberate combat and a dark, atmospheric world.

What players say
Players call this the proto-Dark Souls, praising its combat depth while warning about janky controls and camera issues. It runs well but is unplayable on Steam Deck. Nostalgia runs high, especially for those who played it before Demon's Souls existed.
