It sure is a souls-like. Probably one that is satisfying to learn, but I don't feel like it right now, and quit after my first death.
I don't like how the mask switching is done, though.
You can equip 3 masks as loadouts, but you can only cycle through them rather than pick the exact one you want when you switch. If you're on 1, and want 3, you have to cycle through 2 first, and it takes a few seconds to switch.
Maybe they want the game to feel clunky, but whether or not it's intentional doesn't change that it feels bad.
