N.B. this is a reupload of the video I did in November, with a shorter intro. There have been no other changes to the content or script.


How do you retain a sense of dread in a game that allows the player to moderate their own level of challenge through grind? Bloodborne, one of this generations best horror games, has retained a lasting impact on my mind every since I first played it in 2015, and this video is the sum of 5 years worth of procrastination, ruminating on the nature of fear, the effect of aesthetics on design, and the general creepiness of my favourite FromSoftware game.


Music is from the Bloodborne Soundtrack, composed by a variety of people, these tracks in particular:
The Hunter - Ryan Amon
Moonlit Melody - Ryan Amon
Hail the Nightmare - Ryan Amon
Of the Pthumerian Line - Michael Wandmacher
The Witch of Hemwick - Michael Wandmacher
Hunter's Dream - Ryan Amon


Static Canvas is written, recorded and produced by Thomas Ife


Fear the old blood.
