About

Greetings! I'm illusory wall and I make videos about Dark Souls (and sometimes other retro games). Active in the community since the release of Dark Souls 1, I've often been first-in-line to help test and discover how various mechanics work in the Souls series. I'd previously make edits to the wikis or post my findings in forums, but more recently I've been making video essays and explorations of my findings. I put an emphasis on talking about things that haven't been covered before, or doing the deepest dives I can. Hope you enjoy! Second channel for drumming stuff and playlists of livestreams is located over here: https://www.youtube.com/@illusoryplays

Video Description

For this episode of Dark Souls Dissected, we're doing a deep dive into the world design and level layout. Distant views/ skyboxes are closely examined, as well as the spatial relationship between maps.
