Hamlet

The Hamlet is the main hub of the game, accessed when not into a dungeon. The hamlet contains various buildings that allow the player to form, manage and improve a roster of adventurers to send into the various expeditions needed to reach and purge the Darkest Dungeon from the evil that has encroached it.

Stress relief
One of the hamlet's uses it to relieve the heroes from the stress accumulated during expeditions. Two buildings are dedicated to this purpose: the Tavern, where heroes can drink, gamble or visit the brothel, and the Abbey, allowing heroes to meditate, pray or flagellate themselves. All such activities have a cost and varying degrees of effectiveness, as well as risks for the arising of quirks, often negative, but sometimes positive. Relieving stress also allows the heroes to get rid of afflictions.
