About the Game

Descend into the grim world of Darkest Dungeon, where shadows writhe and madness awaits at every turn. As the heir to a decaying estate, you must assemble a team of flawed heroes and delve into the depths to reclaim your ancestral home from the encroaching darkness. Prepare to face unimaginable horrors in a world drawing heavy inspiration from Lovecraftian horror, where sanity is as precious as gold.

Developed by Red Hook Studios, this indie RPG tests your strategic prowess as you navigate treacherous dungeons, battle grotesque monsters, and manage the psychological well-being of your heroes. But the horrors you face are not merely physical; the psychological toll on your heroes is just as significant. The Affliction System ensures that stress, paranoia, and fear become as formidable foes as any beast you encounter. Can you keep your party together when the odds are stacked against you?

DD boasts a striking hand-drawn gothic art style and innovative turn-based combat that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Every choice matters, and failure can lead to permanent consequences. Brace yourself for:

  • Eerie narration that celebrates both your triumphs and failures, adding a layer of immersion.
  • A diverse roster of hero classes, each with unique skills and backstories, ready to face challenges of dungeon crawling.
  • The constant pressure of managing resources and stress, forcing you to make difficult decisions in town.

Your ancestral estate is crumbling, and the darkness is closing in; will you succumb to the abyss, or can you find the strength to restore your family’s legacy and conquer the encroaching madness?
