On February 3, 2015, the Steam version was released as an Early Access title. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?

You will send out teams of recruited heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Your goal is to drive back these horrors and redeem the family name. You are the heir of a former noble family, damned due to the actions of a hedonistic forebear who spent the family fortune excavating an ancient portal underneath the family estate and inadvertently releasing an untold number of Eldritch Abominations.

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging Gothic Horror Dungeon Crawling RPG about the stresses of dungeon crawling, developed by Red Hook Studios.
