Blasphemous 2’s Dog is Both Wholesome and Heartbreaking

Blasphemous 2 and its predecessor have their fair share of secrets amid a bunch of obscure environmental storytelling. Even the questlines that these 2D Metroidvania Soulslikes provide can be difficult to parse due to the archaic language they’re communicated through and the nature of Cvstodia’s fantastical world in general. Therefore, a player’s understanding of the game may only be made through simple interactions they have with NPCs, let alone what they decide to have explained to them by fans in the community online. Some NPCs, though, may be much more simple than a traditional Soulslike may make them appear to be.
