one might say that Akira Yamaoka is the Snoop Dogg of video game music, showing up in shit way below his pedigree as long as he gets paid. his own personal Corey Feldman feature is his work for Stray Souls. Stray Souls is a UE 5 asset flip made by an ex-Bloober uber-racist with no real ideas or vision beyond being sorta like other games you know and FINALLY giving Silent Hill a Dark Souls dodge roll. don't worry: it has lots of AI generated slop in it too! it's got that Slender fangame pacing and design, a nauseating camera, what could be defined as animation, and a 'the cake is a lie' reference in this video game released in late 2023. tbh, if it weren't for the devs being transphobic art thieves i'd support it for being a lil funny but there's no heart behind this slop. cutscenes goofy tho!!! worth watching but not playing.

nothing wrong with the cake thing on principle, but I do remember it being too casual. I think it should be way more ceremonious in 2023. Be a huge reward for something and that is all you get is a 20 year old video game reference.
