a different pitch - the story is really remarkable. It contains: - A story about the quest for immortality and revenge - One of the cruelest dialog boxes I've ever seen - A lovable human boy who you can give toys and games to in order to teach him about the world

Nine Sols is one of the best Metroidvania you could possibly play, developed by Red Candle who made one of my favourite horror games ever, Detention. Here, we have a Sekiro inspired combat system with some of the most exhilarating boss battles in any game I've ever played. Absolutely phenomenal.

So, heavy spoilers ahead obviously. From Lady Ethereal: "The Eternal Cauldron Project... The Vital Sanctums... They're all just a bunch of fancy caskets!" With the background characters all saying "it's all your fault" Revealing that all the cruelty enacted was ultimately pointless ruined me.
