Mild and Milder.

Take Dark and Darker and strip away it's gritty dark aesthetic and run it through a 'world of warcraft' filter on an AI image generator and you'd get something like this. That in itself might be all right. Some people might like that vibe and aesthetic. But the problem is that it doesn't 'feel' right somehow. The controls and the way it plays feels too floaty. The creatures telegraph their attacks strangely and blocking and dodging feels odd. It just feels off. I'm going to give this one some more time to bake, maybe it will be better in another year or two.
