“YOU DIED”—those red letters on black have haunted millions of players. S!CK Magazine plunges into the formidable yet stunning maze of the Souls games in a 172-page classic issue exploring the labyrinth shaped by Hidetaka Miyazaki. From Demon's Souls to Dark Souls III, it looks beyond deadly traps and ruthless nemeses to the infectious beauty and seemingly bottomless lore at the heart of the series.

Across 70+ pages, the feature wanders through Souls level design and its architecture—poised between grandeur and desolation, sometimes brushing up against madness—while deliberately approaching the series not through “difficulty,” but through the embers of a certain serenity: learning and personal achievement in the face of adversity. The issue also expands into “cross-culture” with creators tied to works like Stardew Valley (Eric Barone), Sifu (Jordan Layani), the game adaptation of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (Richard Jacques), and The Matrix Resurrections (Aleksandar Hemon).
