I have this on 2-3 platforms and one of my favorite games on a handheld. First played on Vita.

This game captures mood of what Dark Souls would be to me in 2D.

Same experience for me. Played and beat it on my Vita, Switch, & Steam Deck. Excellent game, well worth it. Of all the Metroidvania Soulslikes (i.e. Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Virgil, Ender Lilies, etc.), this is by far and away my favorite and truly feels like 2D Dark Souls.

I tried getting back into this game and had no idea where I was and where to go next.

That said, I talked to one of the devs at Pax West and the sequel is coming with Monster Hunter like mechanics. Interested to see how it turns out.

The did release a sequel in May. I have not played, but the reviews are not great and many [metacritic.com]that loved the first (this game) did not like what was done with sequel.

Same… I feel like the developers took the Beatles route and tried really hard to not dilute their value too fast

Awesome game, highly recommend. Some of the boss battles had me rage quitting, but that feeling of beating them after 20 tries is priceless.

My first ever metroidvania game was Hollow Knight and absolutely loved it. Never played any Souls games, but I pulled the trigger on this based on these comments and the price. Fingers crossed I like it.
