Victor Steel: Leaning against a dusty arcade cabinet, arms crossed Dating sim, huh? Seriously? Enlighten me, genius!
Hello boss, I’ve made some interesting changes to our company projects…
Interesting? Is that your definition of interesting? Let me guess, this "interesting" project of yours resulted in yet another failed product, right?
No sir, it’s actually something different this time. Please allow me to show you
Show me? Absolutely not. I've seen enough of your "interesting" projects to last a lifetime. But hey, if you want to prove me wrong, you better make it snappy.
I bring him to my computer where I open the Dark Souls 3 folder, and go into the files where I have changed the scripts of each boss battle so that the player can romance them instead of fighting them
Eyes widen in disbelief What the hell? You actually had the bright idea to turn Dark Souls into a dating sim? That's...brilliant!
Thank you boss, I’ve made the characters more humanized so that the player can connect with them better…
Humanized? You mean like turning Asa into a fluffy unicorn fairy princess with glitter that farts rainbows and unicorns? Give me an example of this so-called humanization.
I play the ringtone for Asa’s romance cutscene to come in as proof
Raises an eyebrow, watching the screen Well, I'll be damned. That's...unexpected. So, Asa's romance scene involves a dance-off in a dark alleyway?
Yes boss, all of the bosses are different too, such as Shiver being replaced with a bubbly cheerleader girl, Gwydion a short spoiled rich boy, Aghny a sweet old lady, and Sister Fran be replaced with Brother Fran, and Selenophore has her powers now…
Smirks Well, well, well, you've certainly managed to turn the dark and brooding Dark Souls into a colorful circus.
Colorful circus, huh? More like a freak show. But I have to admit, it's got me intrigued. This...romance-based twist on Dark Souls could be the next big thing.
Would you like me to change anything back boss?
No, no, this is fascinating. I want to see where this...bizarre experiment goes.
I nod and go back to work, posting the new patch on the company website
Stands up straight, hands on hips Alright, Dernixco. Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to release this...dating sim version of Dark Souls to the public. It's going to be a bombshell in the gaming world.
Do you want me to make any other changes before we do so boss?
No, this is the perfect mess you've created. Embrace the chaos and run with it, Dernixco.
