I can parry the meteor that made dinosaurs go extinct? Hell yeah, I’m in

It is theorized that 66 million years ago, dinosaurs went extinct because of an asteroid so big that its impact devastated the Earth’s surface with natural disasters. But what if I told you that all those years ago, long before humanity existed, dinosaurs roamed the earth with giant greatswords?

You’re probably wondering: Where did they get greatswords from? Were there dinosaur blacksmiths? Did they have religion? Humanity has always asked questions about our existence, our place in the world, and the meaning of it all. Everything will be answered in Jean Nguyen’s Dinoblade, the dinosaur game of all dinosaur games.

That’s right, there’s a dinosaur soulslike inbound, and I can’t quite get over it myself
