Lots of #Welsh references in #DarkSouls!

Gwyn's allusions to Gwyn ap Nudd, his children Gwynevere and Gwyndolin, plus other Welsh origin names in the shape of Lloyd and Llewellyn.

And not forgetting Welsh actor Matthew Morgan's Domhnall of Zena and his "Siwmae" greeting.

#NinoKuni 2 features a few #Welsh references, one of which is Lofty and his lovely south Walian dialect, played by Owain Arthur.

#Cymraeg is present for the location of Cwsg-y-Ddraig (The Sleeping Dragon), and we also have the gloriously Welsh "Proper Tidy" Ring and Pendant.

Here's a video companion piece for those that prefer the audio-visual approach.

Have you played any of these #Welsh content spooky themed games?

Hope it's been a safe and fun Halloween weekend, whatever you're doing!

The 2019 game #Observation stars #Welsh actress Kezia Burrows as main character Emma Fisher, from Cardiff, Wales.

A couple of other Welsh references appear, including the flag of #Wales, and one section of the station being named "Dechrau", the Welsh word for "beginning" or "start".

Shoot 'em up @vampire.poncle.games features enemies based on #Welsh folk creature Mari Lwyd.

"Mari Lwyd" can mean "Grey Mare", but its possible Virgin Mary reference is reflected in Maronna's name that doubles as an Italian pun.

Maronna Meea continues the Welsh-Italian theme.

Perhaps one of the most well-known games with a #Welsh protagonist is Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

New rumours have surfaced again of the changes the supposed remake will feature.

Not sure if the RPG elements will make for a better game, but removing the modern day stuff might!

2010 puzzle-platformer Apple Jack's backstory sees the man with an apple for a head travelling from England to #Wales to rescue his dog from Mount #Snowdon.

Each level is named after a town, with many from the #Welsh counties of Clwyd and Gwynedd featuring in the final portions of the game.

Lovely comments on my videos recently that brought a smile to my face. Likes are nice but comments go such a long way and remind me it's worth the effort.

If you love someone's work, don't underestimate the power of a positive comment! It might make someone's day and give them the boost they need 😊

A manor in #Wales can be explored in the 2003 game #BlackMirror and its 2009 sequel #BlackMirror2.

With the first game set in 1981, the #Welsh manor deteriorates by the time of the second game set 12 years later.

#Mordred, a familiar Arthurian name, plays a part in the backstory.

#TowardDawn is a #Welsh mythology inspired RPG from solo dev @deviserene.bsky.social.

Carys and the gwyllgi Bleddyn battle mythical Welsh creatures like Bwbachod and Ci Annwn.

Lots more references to #Wales, #Cymraeg and Welsh folklore exist that will be explored in future videos.

I don't think it's any secret one of my next videos will be on @deviserene.bsky.social's wonderful game #TowardDawn.

Enjoying slowly working through and getting all giddy with every #Welsh reference I come across!

Will do my best to highlight as many as I can and highly urge you to check it out!
