'''''Darkest Dungeon''''' is a 2016 [[Roguelike]]/[[Dungeon Crawling]] video game by Red Hook Games in which the player takes on the role of an heir to a once-proud but now-fallen noble house. The heir is summoned to the old estate by a letter from his ancestor, which explains that he heard rumors of great power dwelling beneath the manor, spent the family fortune excavating it, and unearthed terrible things. The player then recruits, equips, and dispatches teams of heroes into various dungeons surrounding the manor to put down the monsters that have come to dwell there, and clean up the Ancestor's mess.▼

Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: One of the apocalyptic logs that the heroes can find is {{spoiler|a note from Red Hook thanking the player.}}
* [[Cosmic Horror Story]]: Creepy ancient manor? Check. Eccentric ancestor unleashed horrible eldritch things from beneath it? Check. {{spoiler|The end of the world is inevitable, if not now, then some generations later? Check.}}
* [[
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: The opening cutscene implies that the Ancestor committed suicide after writing the letter to his heir. {{spoiler|The final boss battle implies that this may not have been exactly the case. He also suggests that the Heir may be Driven to Suicide himself.}}
* [[Go Mad from the Revelation]]: Several enemies (Madmen and the Prophet {{spoiler|and perhaps the Ancestor}}) already ''have'', and as stress mounts, the heroes run the risk of following them. Some enemy attacks explicitly revolve around revealing unsettling things to the heroes to increase their stress and ''provoke'' their fall into madness. {{spoiler|In the ending, the Ancestor implies that the Heir is next.}}
