I started off playing Hollow Knight long before Dark Souls and I love seeing where I THOUGHT Hollow Knight got some of their inspiration from.
I wanted to point out here (after making the video) that William Pellen has sated that there really was not much insporation taken form Dark Souls:
“I hadn’t actually played much of Dark Souls when we were making the game,” he laughs. “I played a fair bit of it after because people talked a lot about how Hollow Knight was like Dark Souls. I think we were referencing a lot of games that Dark Souls references so maybe there’s a lot of connections there.”
“Gibson mentions Dark Souls’ “gloomy and oppressive” atmosphere, but apart from that Team Cherry’s inspirations lie elsewhere.”

No matter, I am having a blast playing Dark Souls and I hope you are enjoying my first ever playthrough!
