You should sincerely drop everything and play this demo to get blown away. The scream I scrumpt when I found out through the developer's Twitter that Cez's story is somewhat inspired by Kaiman from Dorohedoro because what an amazing way to draw inspiration from contemporary stories to provide twists to gothic classics. I'm eagerly awaiting this release!
(writer here) thank you! Dorohedoro is just a big influence on me in general; I really love the way it explores how 'Kaiman' was created, and how the back half of the story tries to untangle whether or not he got what his younger self wished for, and if the price he and the people around him paid was worth it.
There's a sequence I'm working on now for later in Drac, unrelated to Cez, that also takes a lot of inspo from Drhdr... so, definitely keep an eye out when the full game is available, because the influence should be visible in all sorts of places!
