Darksouls
The game Dark Souls is a role playing game, made by FromSoftware, players have to fight different gothic monsters throughout the game (Darks Souls, Digital Game, 2011). The great thing about the game there is no story except for small objectives gives players some hint what to do. On the contextualisation it had mentioned the online journal Art and games by Jack Halloran from Tate that he had written about how Dark Souls was inspired by an Italian Gothic style of Milan Cathedral (Halloran, electronic journal, 2015). When the gamers play the game, they will explore the gothic style environment with a Chiaroscuro (APPENDIX 5) to cast rays light effects as Jack Holloran had mentioned in his online journal (Halloran, electronic journal, 2015). The game had also brought some shocking moments when players get ambushed by large enemies that blends really well with the environment to create their own story in an Italian Gothic world (Darks Souls, Digital Game, 2011).
