Oblivions Horn is a Darksouls boss quietly biding his time amidst salty brine seas and the living myth of Thalasso.
It’s always so pleasurable to be shown a fleeting glimpse of Thalasso’s gargantuan, sweeping, larger-than-life world. I think you nailed it with plucky crew mates, aspirations of legend and fame and riches, and a fearless captain who has just enough depth to turn the narrative into something more emotional than the typical dead liminal spaces and horrible monsters.
I liked the musical theme as well, it’s not often that music is used as a villainous motif, so that was pretty unique!
Truth be told, it would be excellent to get a part II. Either the brave captain wins or he dies, and either way I think there’s enough worldbuilding and characters to carry that story further. Great work ✌️
