Dark Souls 2: Lifegem
You come to a place unknown. A place in limbo. A place betwixt two worlds. You were wandering before coming here. But from where did your wandering begin? Can one actually wander if they don’t know where they started? Can you define a maze if it has no beginning? And what if the end is…
Demon’s Souls: Crescent Soul Grass
The fog rises around you as you inch across the courtyard and through the doors of the old keep.
