ello and welcome to You Died: The Dark Souls Companion – an entirely unofficial book about one of the most extraordinary video games ever conceived, Dark Souls, and the world’s communal experience of playing it. The book’s authors Keza MacDonald and Jason Killingsworth, two inexhaustibly enthusiastic long-time Souls devotees and games writers, spent well over a year talking to members of the Dark Souls community and gathering their stories from the muckiest depths of Blighttown to the highest reaches of the Duke’s Archives.
Dark Souls is a fascinating anomaly in the world of video games, so challenging and so intriguingly opaque that even years after it was released, we’re still puzzling out its secrets. It’s made an indelible imprint on everyone who’s played it. Every single person who’s finished Dark Souls has been through the same harrowing, exhilarating journey, triumphed over the same near-impossible odds, and seen the words YOU DIED flash up on-screen approximately 10,000 times. It’s a game that creates stories, little mini-narratives of unlikely triumph and fearful discovery.
This book is the story of Dark Souls and the slightly mad people who play it. It has three questions at its heart: where did Dark Souls come from, what makes it so special, and why are we all so obsessed with it? It’ll dive deep into the lore of the game and the stories that its players have created around it. It will, we hope, be of interest to anyone who’s tasted Dark Souls’ mystery – whether you ever made it past Anor Londo or not.
