Darkest Dungeon

"This article is about the game. You might be looking for Darkest Dungeon (location)"

"Darkest Dungeon is about making the best of a bad situation. Quests will fail or must be abandoned. Heroes will die. And when they die, they stay dead. Progress autosaves constantly, so actions are permanent.

The game expects a lot out of you. How far will you push your adventurers? How much are you willing to risk in your quest to restore the Hamlet? What will you sacrifice to save the life of your favourite hero?"

- The premise of the game

Setting
The game is characterised by its dark Gothic setting and atmosphere, strengthened by ominous cinematics and stressful gameplay accompanied by a ruthless narrator.

In the world of Darkest Dungeon, corruption and horrors have escaped the forgotten darkness of the deep and have made their way into the world. As if being plagued by disease and misery wasn't enough, the people must now withstand unthinkable nightmares roaming the land.

The cause of this evil was the massive excavation in search of obscure powers, held by the remainder of an ancient noble family, now stained with the guilt of armageddon.
