The Horror of Lust: an analysis of Hollow Knight and Sorry We're Closed

Hollow Knight and Sorry We're Closed are some of the most lustful games out there. Let's analyze exactly why that is and what draws us in or shuns us away to some of the most desirable moments in society.

Welcome back to my second video on how Horror Games can teach us about the seven deadly sins. If you'd like me to continue this series, let me know!

Along with the games, I bring in some outside reading that I encourage you all to check out. Here are the names:

"The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker

This video dives into the lore of the games, but it is merely just the beginning of a larger movement and conversation. Let me know what you thought about the video, if you'd like to see me continue, or if you have any feedback on the format. I'd love to hear it!

If you’d like to support the channel and the videos I create then subscribe, share this with your friends, and support me on Patreon. Also check out my second channel where I casually review games, movies and more!
