"Encrotching Darknessness"
That's what I see when I look at Skull Merchant's Very Rare outfit. Is it supposed to be revealing like Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V or is it just fan service and oversexualization of the character? Because how am I supposed to feel scared by that, let alone take the killer seriously?
I get that it's a videogame and we have AOT skins, but up until recently, the game always maintained a standard when it came to aesthetic and art design.
Vittorio's design is interesting until 40% of his outfits are just him shirtless with different colored tattoos. Idk, man, I don't like the precedent this sort of thing sets for the game as a whole.
Where are my grotesque skins? Where is the body horror? Where is the creepy, unsettling factor of being in a dimensional pocket ruled by an evil entity, with cults worshipping them, and all the mystery.
This whole chapter looks like a crossover between Apex Legends and Scooby Doo.
Thoughts?
/Edit
Also want to add that every SM cosmetic in the shop is literally Apex Legends. Who was in charge of choosing the color pallets? Lol

I mean her entire design seems to be leaning into 'sexy lady'. At least her default skin isn't revealing, it's just boring.

What, you don't think an almost naked woman is a compelling killer?
If BHVR have no respect for her, then how are we supposed to have any?

As a brazilian I already hate how mainstream media thinks our country is made only of forests, soccer and hot women with revealing outfits. For a game that seems to pay so much attention to representation this is a pretty lame one. This chapter is a hard pass.
