It’s hard to deny the massive success thatBloodbornewas for both PlayStation and FromSoftware. Even now, the conversation surrounding a possibleBloodborne 2for PS5is reaching a fever pitch, as the game was absent from Sony’s PS5 reveal event.
Still, that doesn’t mean that fans and members of the gaming community are losing interest in the game. In fact, an indie game developer recently published a 16 bitBloodborne“demake” in a style similar to theLegend of Zeldagames of old.

As mentioned above, aBloodbornerelated property like a sequel or remaster wasmissing from the PS5 gameplay event. While fans of theSoulsfranchise did receive some exciting news by way of theDemon Soulsremake coming to the PS5, many fans are still hungry for moreBloodborne. Now, one indie game developer has given fans ofBloodbornethe chance to experience a portion of the game in a brand new style
Max Mraz, the indie developer behindOcean’s Heart¸ is the sole developer behind this impressive littleBloodborne-inspired project calledYarntown.Yarntownis essentially a “demake” of the entire Central Yharnam portion ofBloodborne. What makesYarntowneven more appealing is the fact that it’s free for anyone to download and play on the indie game hosting platform, itch.io. While some fans thinkBloodborne 2should leave Yharnam behind, Mraz clearly has a love forBloodborne’s iconic town.
Players will startYarntownin Hunter’s Dream, where the original game let players level up their hunter by speaking to the doll. After making their way through the horrors of Central Yharnam, players can evenbeat the infamous Cleric Beastand Father Gascoigne in a new, 2D style fight that pays homage to the original. While an entire 2D “demake” ofBloodbornewould be far too much for just Mraz alone, the idea is certainly very appealing followingYarntown.
Of course, players will only be able to playYarntownthrough PC, as it is only available through itch.io. However, this isn’t the first timeBloodbornehas been on PC. While the game was never ported to PC, players with PlayStation Now can actuallyplayBloodborneon PC right nowvia streaming. While it’s probably not the smoothest way to experience the game, the option is available to those who might need it.
Bloodborneis available now exclusively on PS4.
