Been too long away from Yharnam. Bloodborne is one of my all-time favorite games and somehow I still never finished the DLC all those years ago, despite having like 300 hours in the game. Time to finally rectify that. #bloodborne #horrorsky #gamesky

An image from Bloodborne showing a street jutting off of a courtyard in Yharnam, a gothic-victorian nightmare of a city. In the foreground, the player character stands with her back to the camera. She wears a black cloak, slathered in blood (not hers) and holds a saw with a wooden handle and gnarly looking teeth in the blade in her right hand, plus a blunderbuss in her left hand. Next to her is a tall man in a wide-brimmed hat, a long white scarf, and a long black coat. He also holds a pair of weapons. Above him floats the name and title "Old Hunter Father Gascoigne". The two characters look at a large man in the distance pounding on a door. To the right is an abandoned carriage. To the left is a coffin wrapped in chains and locked.

An image from Bloodborne on the PS4 showing two depressing-looking statues of cloaked figures that hold lit lanterns. In the far distance rise the spires of the city of Yharnam, a gothic-victorian fantasy city, set against a backdrop of orange sunset sky and cloud.

A screenshot from Bloodborne. It shows a player character standing in the Hunter's Dream, a small workshop of sorts. There's a large fireplace, a statue of a woman in robes behind many candles, gloriously detailed wood arched ceilings and wainscoting, shelving with all manner of containers, stacks of assorted books on various surfaces (including the floor), and a bench over which hang saw blades suspended by chains. It's an odd mix of comfortable, cozy, and foreboding. Two small windows in the high reaches of the space cast white Sundays into the room's warmer tones from the fire.
