Dark Souls. A game like no other.
You Died embarks on a far-ranging exploration of Dark Souls, one of the most influential, enigmatic and best-loved video games in history.
The book traces a path through the game's lore and world, but also zooms out to tell the stories of Dark Souls' remarkable, slightly mad fan collective. Discover the shared exploits of players who've died, over and over, in their common quest.
Written by Keza MacDonald and Jason Killingsworth, award-winning journalists who've covered Dark Souls from the earliest stages of its development and interviewed the game's developers on many occasions, You Died is a must-read for anyone who's ever ventured into the treacherous wilds of Lordran, for five hours or 500. Includes exclusive new interviews with the game's creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki and others involved in its creation.
