I just had a dream where I was playing the new From game. It was basically Dark Souls 4 and it was so god damn surreal.

The first boss was the cavern you wake up from. Like the entire cavern desperately trying to drag you back into your grave. The first location was in these desert runes and you were in the middle of a sandstorm making it hard to see enemies. Most of the starting enemies had shields and spears.

There was a new critical system in which critical attacks weren’t just backstabs any more but you could crit by hitting an enemies specific weak points and they were not obvious. This meant attacking in certain ways as weapons have diverse movesets and aiming with a bow and arrow was extremely effective.

I met an NPC near a “checkpoint”, returned to a previous bonfire to find out that crafting weapons and magic all came from picking up shattered weapons from enemies. I accidentally made two flame resistant helmets and a pair of blades. The blades had a charging flip attack that would heal a small amount if you successfully finished a combo which saved my ass multiple times.

When I returned to the NPC and that bonfire, it was all an illusion and I fell down some dunes into a more prominent section of the runes where there were snake people

And then my brother woke me up to ask where the comb was. It seemed so real what the hell.
