Hi, I'm Autumn and this is The Hollow. I'm a 20 year old artist, Twitch streamer, and face painter and I made this blog to talk about my time as a first time souls player. As a person who has played a lot of video games in my life I really haven't had another experience like the Dark Souls games. They are a test of wit, patience, and perseverance. The game series started with Demon's Souls, released in 2008 by FromSoftware. This is one of the only 'souls-like' games I haven't played so I don't have a lot to say about it. In 2012 Dark Souls was released and it is also the name origin of this blog. In Dark Souls lore, if you give up in the game you go hollow. It's essentially the games way of saying you're mindless (and bad). I felt that this was a good name for the blog because I'm not good at these games in any shape way or form, people have beaten Dark Souls (1) using a Dance Dance Revolution pad and I simply do not have the patience
