Darkest Dungeon

Darkest Dungeon is a roguelike horror roleplaying game at least partially inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. The core game was first released by indie developer Red Hook Studios on 19 January 2016; since then, several DLC add-ons have been issued, including "The Color of Madness", an expansion which takes its cue directly from "The Colour Out of Space".
==Overview==
Gameplay involves the exploration of various procedurally-generated dungeons with a roster of heroes chosen from a hub location, during which the player will battle various enemies of increasing levels of difficulty. The plotline involves an ancient being trapped beneath the surface of the Earth, and the player-characters attempts to prevent it from awakening and destroying the world.
==Behind the Mythos==
Director Chris Bourassa had listened to audio recordings of H. P. Lovecraft's works prior to commencement of design: these influenced the game, imparting a Lovecraftian horror aspect to it which may not have otherwise been present Darkest Dungeon influences at Wikipedia.
