Video Description

In time for the community event 'Return to Yharnam', I wanted to finally talk about my favourite game ever made - Bloodborne. From Software's descent into Lovecraftian, gothic madness is well-documented by now, so I want to take you on a personal journey through Yharnam and its outskirts, meet some of its crazed denizens, and discuss exactly what make the game so timeless.
