You are terrible at maths. Sorry, someone had to say it. However, it's not all bad news - so is every other human being ever to live! You're ALL awful when it comes to numbers! Whilst you don't always realize it, humans have an incredibly flawed understanding of everything from size to statistics, changing the way we perceive and think about numbers, particularly in videogames - but does this make them better or worse?
After clearing out a few suspiciously similar milk factories and plumbing the darkest depths of the human psyche, The Architect has determined that although the brain might be flawed, it's these flaws that can lead to some very fun game design, and no game knows this better than Vampire Survivors.
