Hasan Kahraman It also has a developer profile on the apple store. On this platform he has several free applications, of which Go Fit XL Y Color Rush XL They have some interesting descriptions. Go Fit XL has a reference to PT Y Color Rush XL a Metal Gear. But all these references are nothing next to the translation that Google makes of the last name of the director of Abandoned.

What is it Demon Blood?

Hasan Kahraman’s profile on Playstation is interesting, since it contains the icon of an application or game called Demon Blood. This application is not listed in PSN, but the image of the icon adds a new coincidence to all this conspiracy theory that involves Abandoned

ya Hideo Kojima.

Could Junji Ito be participating in Abandoned?
