Grant Us Eyes: The Art of Paradox in Bloodborne. Bloodborne, viewed through the lens of a literary critic. Written by Nathan Wainstein. Illustrated by Jaye Shepherd. www.tuneandfairweather.com/products/pre...

Was [Bloodborne’s] unusually piecemeal way of telling its story – accomplished not through filmic cutscenes or dialogue as in other games, but instead through short item descriptions that are not only deeply ambiguous but often contradictory – merely masking a fundamentally incoherent plot? Was its spatially disjunctive gameworld genuinely surreal or just shoddily constructed? And if the game’s notoriously challenging boss fights – on which I might spend hours, if not days, failing repeatedly – were ‘tough but fair,’ as Souls advocates often claim, then why were my enemies able to hit me through walls?

Where does Bloodborne fit into the tradition of difficult art, including other formats such as the modernist novel? Bloodborne contains a host of mysteries still that beg to be discussed and examined. We just need eyes to see them. www.tuneandfairweather.com/products/pre...

Bloodborne’s iconic soundtrack is meticulously designed to instill a sense of both fear and reverence in its listener. @matthewseiji.com's excellent essay Choir Of The Cosmos discusses its ins and outs. #quoteoftheday #bloodborne 💙📚 www.tuneandfairweather.com/products/blo...

‘Omen’, the piece that Amon created for Bloodborne’s debut, opens with a haunting, low cello melody that suggests a lone figure – the player’s hunter, perhaps – standing alone against the terrifying monsters that infest the city of Yharnam. This horde then takes form as a threatening, unhurried scraping along low strings, growing in intensity as it summons forth thudding percussive and brass elements. Amon’s arrangement moves like a hulking monster stalking its prey. The pounding increases in intensity, heavy with implied violence, and the hunter’s theme is reprised, this time by a soprano voice.

Grace Given is @smoughtown.bsky.social's comprehensive exploration of the mythology underpinning Elden Ring. It's a work of scholarship presented as a collectable art object inspired by the most prized sacred books of antiquity. www.tuneandfairweather.com/products/gra...

We start as a mere insect in the ruins of this broken world, intimidated by the sheer overwhelming burden of our ultimate goal: to become Elden Lord. Yet in time we come face to face with each of these fabled demigods, find them wanting and eventually stand tall among them as an equal ready to lead the next age. The beauty of Elden Ring’s story cannot be captured in a few sentences, however. Each character has a story to tell and a message to convey. What emerges is a story of courage, rebellion, and persecution, of morality and also power. [...] It asks us: what do you believe in? What do you think is right? Where do you stand when all is said and done?

Soul Arts: Curated by @vaatividya.com. Incredible artwork inspired by Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Demon's Souls and Sekiro with commentary by Vaati, drawing you deeper into the world. www.tuneandfairweather.com/products/sou...

Before [Sekiro’s] release we only knew of a few [prosthetic tools], so imagining the types of weapons Sekiro might equip sent my mind reeling with possibilities. In that moment, I came up with the “Prosthetic Art Challenge” – a guide to help artists give
form to the tools in our imagination. [...] One month before Sekiro’s release, I was invited to FromSoftware’s offices to see and play the game early. I came bearing a laminated art book filled with this incredible, unofficial art, hoping to relay employee reactions back to the artists. Sadly, I was never allowed the opportunity to show anyone at their office.
