This is an excellent game. If you intend to play it, DO NOT look up any spoilers for it. The discovery is most of the game's strength.

I did it! Finally beat Belmont's Curse! ... I'm unsure exactly how much I like it overall, but I did have a good time. I think it definitely didn't need to be a precise platformer, though. Like, really. That brought it down a bit for me at times. But the rest was solid fun.

I also really like that most of your progression is actually behind knowledge gates, and not specific flags. It makes the idea of another playthrough less daunting, kinda like with Tunic. This is actually pretty unique as far as metroidvanias go

Okay, I do have one other complaint... Bloody Tears is the only returning song? Really? Or do I just not know enough 3D Castlevania music?

I do wonder how many of my issues are weighed down by having played the Switch version (on a Switch 2, in my defense), which supposedly has pretty bad input lag issues. I may do a second playthrough on a Steam copy just to see how it feels in comparison.

For the least spoilers: I beaten The Occultist in Belmont's Curse. I've never been so shockingly unimpressed with a movement upgrade I abused to hell and back in other games like this tbh. It's kinda stunning how often I forget I have it until I need it lol

So what no one mentioned in Belmont's Curse stuff is that the game really tries to push you to the bad ending, and you're meant to get it once, it's canonical to character development. ... So yeah, I walked into the bad ending unaware. Jerks lol

Y'all should know the play by now. They start off with whatever seems the most socially acceptable kink to cry bloody murder over, then it's just a hop and a skip and a jump to everything suddenly being criminalized. Kink content is important. Even the kinks you don't like. Remember that.

Im sick of soulslikes. Im so fucking tired of soulslikes. Why is every cool looking dark fantasy game these days a god damned soulslike. Why does every fucking game need to have these extremely fucking rigid controls and this stupid piddly fucking stamina gauge I fucking hate soulslikes

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

Nash@radiodeadair.com

If you still have the Epic Games Launcher on your system, don't update it and get it the fuck off of your computer. There's no telling what damage it can do or what vibecoded landmines are waiting in it.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

That this bot, which posts random stills and clips from the thousands of hours of VHS transfers on archive.org, landed on *this specific frame* feels like finding the monkey at the typewriter that managed to write Hamlet.
