I couldn't really get into it, either, narratively. I'm not sure what it was for me, but I agree that some dialogue comes off as odd or indirect. I gave it a chance, thinking it might not be another Souls-like, but boy I was wrong.
I watched a YouTube video on it about 2/3s of the way in. That helped it click narratively.
They actually did a good job of adapting the source material to a new story, its just not easy at all to follow without some guidance or external aid.
And yeah, it's very souls-like. But not as punishing? You don't lose anything for dying. But the combat is very trial-and-error, learn to dodge everything.
But thanks for checking this out and leaving a comment.
I want to encourage more discussion on games, and when I post these reviews at the bottom of my usual Thursday post they tend to get glossed over. Hopefully this reprint encourages more engagement with this content!
