Game News Elden Ring: This video game pays homage to the work of From Software and punishes you for the slightest (typing) mistake, and you will like it
From Software has inspired more than one person, even in very different areas such as… spelling. Yes, you read that right.
An inspiring difficulty
Since Demon’s Souls, From Software has experienced absolutely tremendous growth: the demands and high difficulty of its various games have become its trademark. So yes, we die, often in fact, but the player is often rewarded in the most beautiful way by defeating certain extremely intimidating bosses. And this always highly valued victory comes with numerous game overs.
Meanwhile, the famous “You’re dead” has become a recurring phrase in the internet landscape, it has even almost become a meme in its own right. Enough to inspire Steven Nass and Peter Hennigsen of Woe Industries to develop a brand new game: FromSoft Word.
You are dead (hograph)
Well, we’ll tell you right away: it’s a very small game, totally free, that you can try directly in your browser here and not a real Souls-like one. The concept? Write on a blank sheet of paper like a Word or Google Docs file, but Game Over makes you start over at the slightest spelling mistake.
But what exactly should I write? Well, whatever you want. And be careful, this mini-game is formatted for English only: See this as a good opportunity to make progress in Shakespeare’s language. Be careful, because obviously the slightest typo will result in the famous “You’re dead”, here transformed into “You made a typo”, accompanied by the same music and typography as in FromSoftware games.
And if you really want to die (well, virtually) in one of the studio’s games, We remind you that the expansion “Shadow of the Erdtree” will be released on Friday for all Elden Ring owners: It’s simple, this huge DLC is majestic and we recommend you take a look at our review at this address. The developers have done a brilliant job of replicating the fascinating experience of the original game in a completely new area, coupled with an absolutely lavish art direction. Jump on it.
