The pale moon rises on Yharnam, a Victorian England-inspired city cursed with a mysterious plague known only as the "Beast Scourge." You arrive in Yhaarnam by way of spooky blood magic as the latest inductee to this underground society of Hunters, whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill the beasts terorrizing the town. But, this is a Dark Souls game, and so there's no possible way there could be anything hidden deeper in this cool werewolf game, right?

Yes, indeed. In the Age of Internet Video the world of Content Creation was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of dancing babies, epic meals, and Star Wars kids. But then there was Podcasting and with Podcasting came disparity. De-monetization and ad revenue, Copyright strikes and brand deals. Then from the dark, they came, and found of the Sponsorships of Lords within the code. Quibi, the First of the Dead. Best Fiends and their daughters of Chaos, spelled like "friends" without the "r". Blue Apron, the Lord of Sunlight, and their faithful knights Butcher Box and Hello Fresh. Thus began the Age of Podcasting. But soon, the ad revenue will fade and only Content will remain.
