As you gain more insight the enemies around you become more powerful, not only this, but you start to see things you couldn’t before. This includes you your understanding is represented in game by your insight. They want to understand the truth, despite the fact that it drives everyone mad the closer they get to it. Many of the disfigured things you come across have a surplus of eyes, because it is the one thing that the powers that be want. They all believe that to understand the truth of the world you need eyes on the inside. All of this in aid of one goal to get eyes on the inside.

This contains a plethora of test subjects who talk to themselves, cursed to hear the sound of dripping water, or trying to find their own eyes. At one point you come across a tower filled with failed experiments. The church wanted to see what was happen. You then discover that many of these disturbing creatures were created by way of experiments. Instead it warps you into something far more unpleasant. It turns out that infusing people with the blood of beasts, or the blood of ancient unknowable evils, doesn’t actually do wonders for one’s complexion. Each and every thing you cut down used to be something far more benign, their forms warped by the treatments meant to cure them. You find out that the healing that this town is renowned for is in fact the thing causing all of these monsters. The longer you play the deeper your understanding becomes, and this is where things get really unnerving. The abominations you come across as you claw your way through the world are messed up enough without you understanding what they are. The entire story is about uncovering the truth not just the truth of what is going on, but the greater truth, the eldritch truths that you simply aren’t meant to know. You then see a pool of blood from which a wolf-like creature rises out and crawls towards you, only to be replaced by tiny misshapen creatures climbing onto your face. You wake up strapped to a bed with some creepy dude infusing you with blood – which is creepy enough. The first thing that happens is the only thing in first-person. The only thing left is to figure out which game is best, what will bring you the largest dose of that sweet sweet terror? The answer to this question is the same as the answer to so many questions, Bloodborne.īloodborne is an eldritch-action game, one that forces the player through aberration after aberration in an increasingly terrifying world that is always trying to kill you. You decide you want to play a game, after all the combination of adrenaline and that nagging feeling that you’re wasting your life make for quite the fear-inducing cocktail. The spirits are about to crossover and you feel a sudden urge to scare yourself senseless but can’t decide how best to do it.

Once again, we come to the spookiest time of the year.
