The Raining Reverie

A Dark Souls Journal #12: Finale

The journey has concluded. Where to from here?

A Dark Souls Journal #11: Thriller

A lot of dead things in this entry. Or things on their way to death.

A Dark Souls Journal #10: Sif

Sif… ;-;

A Dark Souls Journal #9: Whoops.

6:18PM

I made a terrible mistake.

A Dark Souls Journal #8: “What did that giant mushroom make you do?”

There was no entry for yesterday, as the day was mostly filled with miscellaneous activities. There was some progression, but not much. The majority of it was taking advantage of the glory of finally being able to warp between bonfires.

A Dark Souls Journal #7: Castlevania, Portrait of Ruin

It’s hard to put my thoughts into words. This painted world looks gorgeous, but it feels very… dead. I’ll almost certainly run into enemies here, but it has a sort of quiet beauty to it right now.

A Dark Souls Journal #6: Lost

I decided to return to Sen’s Fortress before returning to Anor Londo once more, having remembered that there were still bodies to loot, and demons I had not yet slain. What awaited me was pain…

The journey continues onward. No more preparations and catching up with familiar faces. It’s time to face the worst foe of all. The time restraints of game development.

A Dark Souls Journal #4: Caution

A Dark Souls Journal #3: What

The journey continues. I escape the tree, and return to the swamp. Instantly, I am reminded of my dwindling resources. It’s time to think fast. Think clever. Improvise and struggle to the bitter end. The game has never been completely unfair… so far.
