"GOLD-HEMMED BLACK" EDITION
THE STORY OF YOU DIED
Early in the crafting of You Died we made a decision: if we're going to do this, let's aim for perfection. No compromises.
Full-colour printing throughout. High-grade 140 gsm paper. The finest Italian printer and carefully selected materials.
Using the medium of the physical book, we set out to create an art object that would be the crown jewel of any fan's Dark Souls collection. No skimping on production values in an attempt to trim costs and shift extra units at a lower price. Top-tier quality for both the fan who cares and the collector who knows the difference.
Just as architects from centuries past built cathedrals in an attempt to prompt a feeling of transcendence, we hoped to accomplish the same feat in miniature. A cathedral in your hands. Not accidentally featuring a cover motif borrowing shape language from the rose window at the heart of Anor Londo.
We're proud to present the result of our efforts: You Died. Designed and constructed to feel timeless. Just like the game that inspired it.
One classic deserves another.
