Signalis

Summary:
Signalis is a top-down survival horror video game following the story of Elster, a Replika unit under the Eusan People's Nation, as she attempts to fulfill a mysterious promise.

Other:
Signalis is an absolutely beautiful and heart-breaking game, I honestly can't recommend it enough. Personally, I did not enjoy the gameplay, with the mix of resource scarcity and respawning enemies. If, like me, this doesn't seem like something you'd enjoy, or you can't play it for another reason (I.E can't purchase game, flashing lights, etc) I implore you to watch a playthrough

Revolutionary Girl Utena

Summary:
Revolutionary Girl Utena follows the story of Utena Tenjou, a student at Ohtori Academy, as she fights in duels against other students for the right to the Rose Bride.

Other:
I can't recommend Utena without giving a serious content warning. Rape, sexual abuse, and incest all show up as central topics in the latter parts of the anime. I went into it completely blind without knowledge of this and it really threw me for a loop.

Bloodborne

Summary:
In Bloodborne, you play as a hunter, exploring the strange, reclusive city of Yharnam, home to the special art of blood ministration. The night is long, and deeper than it may seem.

Bloodborne features similar gameplay to the Dark Souls series.

Other:
In the Yharnam. straight up "hunting it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My beasts.

Persona 2

Summary:
Persona 2 follows the story of a group of high school students and an adult companion as they are terrorized by a strange man known as Joker, who seeks revenge on them for an unknown reason. Persona 2 is a JRPG, part of the Persona series, with turn-based combat and an isometric view.

Other:
Persona 2 is my favorite of the Persona series. It's actually split between two games, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. Innocent Sin is the first game. Despite being part of the popular Persona series, IS and EP are a bit obscure, and can be hard to get your hands on. Unless you have a PlayStation Portable lying around and are willing to spend a good amount on a copy of the game then you'll have to use an emulator to play them.
P2 is an older game and the gameplay can be a bit tedious at times, however the amazing story and characters absolutely make up for possibly lackluster gameplay. I <3 tatsuya suou.

Parasite

Summary:
Parasite is a 2019 Korean thriller movie about poverty and class disparity.

Other:
I apologize for the lackluster summary, however, I think Parasite is really a movie that's best went into blind. It's a brilliant movie that genuinely left me speechless by the end.
