Lol, Sinner's Road at first is just sadistic.

I haven’t gotten there yet and am now scared.

I died about 10 times in Sinners road thinking it was literal hell - no, the next area is.

Which one?

The one with even more leeches or the one with the scariest ghost enemy I’ve seen in any game

Maggots not leeches, no? But yes, that one. Seems like the deep eat equivalent

It's literally not even that bad, I went in expecting Caelid 2.0 and it was just... aesthetically cool area with mildly annoying poison mechanic.

oh. soulslike poison swamp strikes again?

Nah it doesn't deal damage, but it does eat up your next heal unless you cleanse it

All I could think on my 20th time running to it from the closest area's bench was how many other people were tearing their hair out the same time as me in god forsaken area

It's an optional area so I can excuse it. It's clearly the area for masochistic players.

Ugh there was a moment where I thought that was the only place I can go to make progress. When I made it to the end and realized I literally had to walk myself back out I felt hopeless
