What do you think of a Surreal/Psychedelic Souls?
So there's been a lot of posts about what other style could be the basis of the next From Souls style game. Who knows if they will even make one but I thought of an idea. We hear things like Pirate/Western/Sci-fi Souls but what do you think about a surreal/psychedelic style for souls?
Imagine walking through zones that are akin to a Dali painting, or fighting bosses that are in a similar style to Hindu gods? The themes could center on the self, consciousness, and what is reality.
I think Bloodborne had some of those elements, especially with the eyes lining the brain, and the cosmic ideas. I do think that there could be potential to explore something of this sort in a way that's not necessarily medieval or futuristic, but an altogether different setting taking place in memories, or inside of someone's mind.
It would also be a way to switch the pallette from bleak and dark to vibrant colors and interesting visuals. Just another what if idea but I wonder if anyone elae would dig something like this.
