In this month's episode of the Ludonarrative Podcast, Blake and Preston talk Dark Souls (2011). Dark Souls is game that seamlessly integrates its lore into storytelling. The game mechanics are a pastiche of classic RPGs, combined in a such a way that has earned Dark Souls a reputation for extreme difficulty. Dark Souls, created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, deliberately leads us nowhere - or so it would seem. We ask how video games establish trust, and how death shapes identities in games.
