Is Crimson moon a Souls like?

Hi everyone,

​I recently watched a trailer for Crimson Moon and it caught my attention!

​Since I prefer playing solo, I was wondering if Crimson Moon is designed to be fully enjoyable as a single-player experience? Do the enemy count and scaling adjust properly for solo players?

​Also, how is the difficulty compared to a Souls-like? Is it just as punishing, or is it a bit more accessible?

​Lastly, I’d love to know if the game features RPG mechanics like upgrading weapons, and roughly how long a standard playthrough/the main story takes?

​Thanks in advance!
