I played a souls-like for the first in the Worst Game On Steam series called Dark Days : Devil Hunt. This game in a nutshell is cursed, funny but cursed as hell. This is only season 1 of Dark Days : Devil Hunt and previously there was the equally as jank Prologue.
Regardless of if it has the Souls-Like tag or not, this game at one point definitely gained some inspiration from the souls series. Although it wasn't shown much in the video, the Dark Days : Devil Hunt Prologue at least feels more like it.
For the price it's not too bad seeing as there is a free demo which will give a good idea about the game well before you put any money down.
-------
I'm WickedWiz from the What Went Wrong series coming at you with some of the most cursed indie games on Steam. This new series is for games that are so bad, that they're actually good. Worst Game On Steam, is a question that hopefully turns out to be false each time. These are games that won't fit the longer form What Went Wrong videos.

The constant subconscious vibe of this game is 'AI-generated'. The storytelling, the landscape, the voice acting...

It is 100% convinced. I feel like ai succeeds at one thing and that is - showing the shortcomings of someone who is not creative or doesn't want to make something themselves cause learning a skill is too hard i guess so they take a shortcut, but the problem is they learn absolutely nothing and the result is worse than if they simply failed at least trying, but still learned something new in the process.

Fun fact, the melee damage in this game is calculated *per click*, not *per hit*. So you can actually do a bunch of damage in a single swing animation by just spamming the click or using an auto-clicker.

You know, I think I know what's happening. The kid is told to go to the player's position. That is the center of the player. However the kid can't get the that position in the world because the player's physics collider is in the way. The collider is almost always a smooth capsule that doesn't get stuck easily. It is very easy to set a target NEAR the player (usually behind) for the NPC to go to. But whoever made this is a lazy idiot and told the son the bury itself in the player's ribcage instead. It can't, so the physics engine makes it slide around the slippery capsule of the player while the navmesh looks for better paths to fuse with the player.

The dev obviously bought a "Baby" asset pack and stuck hair and clothes on him, and then scaled his size up to be the size of a 12 year old. Haha!! Because of that scaling, the kid's head was twice the size of his dad's head, while his limbs were teeny! Haha! There was definitely something wrong with this guy's kid. The kid's mom had to have been a looker.

@@alastor8091 That was the fight with Poseidon's renegade sons Otus and Ephialtes. And to be fair, they gave everybody a run for their money while on the offensive and I think had something going on where others couldn't harm them. They were ultimately beaten via Artemis shapeshifting into a deer and pulling off a brilliant example of deadly dodging that got them to kill each other. Ares was definitely something of a fair-weather fighter. He was fierce and powerful on the field, but if someone actually managed to rough him up - as happened in the siege of Troy, I think it was Odysseus' handiwork - he got absolutely tilted over it and couldn't deal.

30:00 This part reminds me of a small section in Deadly Premonition 1. The game wants you to follow a dog, through multiple rooms. However, there is a blood trail that leads to the correct door, but you have to wait for the dog go to the door to trigger a short cutscene and it takes awhile for each room.

Honestly I think the reason they put that trigger box there at the end is because they didn't know how to trigger loading into a different area without having the player run into a trigger box (which ofc didn't need to be textured and could have been placed someplace the player couldn't reach). But they also wanted you to see that 2 second cutscene of looking at this guy before. So they had you go to the place the cat led you to, so you can look at the guy and then they teleported the player into the trigger. That's my guess at least
