The Price of Death is an experimental video essay that explores Achille Mbembe's concept of Necropolitics as a core theme in FromSoftware's Dark Souls series. The video takes the form of a story where the concepts of the essay are the underpinning themes. The story takes a cryptic approach that requires the viewer to piece together the meaning as it progresses. The video was written to be watched more than once, where the end provides context to the beginning, almost forming a cycle - one of the overarching themes in the video.
