What Dark Souls: Collector's Edition is

Dark Souls: Collector's Edition is an adventure game developed by FromSoftware and released in 2011. It was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on PhyreEngine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Dark Souls employs minimalist storytelling to convey its plot and lore. Historical events in its world and their significance are often implicit or left to player interpretation rather than being fully shown or explained. Most of the story is given to the player through dialogue from non-player characters within the game, flavor text from items, and world design.
