Luckily, the plot is revealed at a good pace that always keeps you invested, but those looking for a complex narrative about the nature of the afterlife might feel a bit underwhelmed. While the premise of the game is intriguing enough, the story itself is somewhat predictable, leaning into genre tropes of evil entities and the undead.

Now the owner of this cursed place, you must recruit a trusty group of four adventurers and follow your ancestor's footsteps and uncover their ultimate fate. Far underground, terrifying and unspeakable horrors awaited, unleashing themselves on the surrounding land. Unfortunately, before passing away, your relative pursued dark dreams of power, digging deep into the underbelly of the mansion's lower floors. In Darkest Dungeon, you are the lucky inheritor of an ancient estate handed down by a deceased ancestor.

As you successfully complete your delves, your party will grow stronger. Rounding up a team of hearty adventurers, you'll descend below the manor, balancing your health, stress, and physical advantages. Darkest Dungeon is a dungeon-crawling RPG that pits players against gruesome and terrifying beasts as they explore the expansive catacombs under a gothic mansion.
