Bloodborne is a game that takes place in the intersection between dreams and nightmares. Its spaces are unreal and changeable, and the nature of what is real and what is not is constantly called into question.

Consequently, the hard details of its story and plot are left vague, even by Souls standards, allowing a huge amount of space for interpretation by its players. All art can have many different meanings to many different people, but art like Bloodborne practically requires this range of interpretations.

To some, Bloodborne feels like a familiar home, to others it is a space of cathartic vengeance. To some it is an affirmation of their deepest feelings, to others it is a raging indictment of social hypocrisies.

And to sappy idealistic dinks like me... well, you'll see.
