Valor Mortis Preview: A Soulslike Where You Die Again and Again in Napoleon’s Army

After playing the first-person soulslike Valor Mortis, I was left with more questions than I started with: what is happening in this world? Why is Napoleon in my head? Who is William? What makes him special? What is this corruption that touches everyone and everything? I can only guess at the answers. But I know I want to go back. And that feeling is more than enough to keep me interested, and hopeful, in what developer One More Level has up its sleeve.
