Another Dark Fantasy Souls Game? - Estencel Gameplay Walkthrough Part 9 Full Game - No Commentary

The story of Estencel is pretty barebones, and frankly that’s putting it charitably. We play as a typical nameless, voiceless protagonist who is... in a Victorian era setting for no particular reason, on a quest to kill some monsters… also for no reason. What brief bits of narrative that can be construed from the odd chat with the occasional NPC don’t do much to provide context for proceedings. There doesn’t seem to really be a narrative beyond: here is a city with monsters, go kill some.

Which I’m not inherently opposed to, but I do think one of the more intriguing elements of Soulslike games is often their lore. The decrepit hallways of Dark Souls’ Anor Londo, or the rainy plazas of Hollow Knight’s Kingdom of Tears would probably both be interesting to explore in their own right, but they would lose something without the broader context of the world. It’s the backstory and the lore of these locations that incentivizes us to explore them in the first place; without a narrative of some sort to provide context and get us going, the gameplay has to pick up all the slack.
