    While this certainly isn't an oblivion killer, it's definitely something born straight from my favorite games! Daggerfall had a baby with Bloodborne, then fell down one sick Alice in the Wonderland rabbit hole. I can't thank you enough for finding this game, it's absolutely wonderful. Here's to hoping the full release is even better.

    I know it sounds insane, but the primary reason I ever had this game on my radar is because I really like 1st Person games where your characters hands aren't rendered. Still can't believe that The Long Dark was RUINED by the curse known as "visible hand models".

    • @EphiTV
      @EphiTV  2 роки тому +11

      Lol, haven't heard that take before. The game I'm working on doesn't have hand models either. But that's mostly due to limitations of scope/budget/etc.

      Honestly I can’t even play a game that doesn’t have a hand model or some item you’re holding, that’s why I always have the sword out in this game, nothing on the screen in first person makes me nauseous for some reason, sort of immediately get motion sick from it, but as soon as a weapon is in my hand I’m fine 🤔
