About the game
Yahar’gul, Unseen Village... a place lost to the rest of the world. It is here that Hunters may discover the true nature of Yharnam and, indeed, the very reality they inhabit. Twisted and unspeakable creatures, even compared to the ones infesting the streets of the city, lay in wait of any foolish enough to enter their domain. Unlike the usual foes present in Yharnam, those residing in Yahar’gul are touched by a deeper madness... They are more ferocious, and possess an otherworldly resilience compared to their Yharnamite counterparts. Sometimes slaying these foes is but a temporary inconvenience, as they rise once again to seek the Hunters. What unspeakable influence pervades this place, and how can we find the means to stop it? Yahar'gul, Unseen Village is a Kickstarter Exclusive expansion that takes Hunters to this macabre village and introduces new enemies, a new Boss, and a whole new campaign! —description from the publisher
