Line 31:
* [[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}}.
* [[Damage Over Time: The Blight and Bleed effects do this to the heroes, but they can inflict both on monsters too. Bleed doesn't work on skeletons, but it does work on the [[Mushroom Men]] in the Weald.
* [[Deadly Decadent Court]]: {{spoiler|The Ancestor relates stories of how, in his youth, he attended parties with [[Upper Class Twit]]a like himself, which often lasted days or even weeks, and turned into orgies of lust or displays of physical violence. One guest was known to be such a glutton, he'd eat the leftovers at the buffets long after they'd spoiled. It was one of these parties where he confronted and brutally murdered the Countess - while she was no innocent, being a fiendish temptress, this is where his [[Start of Darkness]] began, as the [[Nasty Party]] entry below shows.}}
* [[Dem Bones]]: Skeletons will likely be the first mooks you encounter in the Ruins, which will likely be the first dungeon you tackle. Bone Rabble are the weakest, followed by Bone Soldiers, Bone Courtiers, Bone Arbalists, Bone Defenders, Bone Captains, Bone Spearmen, and Bone Bearers. [[Necromancy|The Necromancer]] is the boss behind all Dem Bones.
* [[Door to Before]]: Thankfully, completing a quest
* [[Downloadable Content]]: ''The Musketeer'', ''The Crimson Court'', ''The Shieldbreaker'' and ''The Color of Madness''.
* [[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}}.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* [[Inverse Law of Sharpness and Accuracy]]: The Leper is a class you'll have accuracy from the start, and while he is ''very'' strong and deals a lot of damage when he hits an enemy, his accuracy isn't so hot, and he tends to miss his target about a fourth of the time.
* [[Martial Medic]]: Plague Doctor is this, ''full stop''. She's a decent healer who can cure diseases or blights (bleeding too, but only when healing herself) but also has AOE attacks that can stun enemies, blight them, or even shuffle their positions.
* [[Nasty Party]]: {{spoiler|Emphasis on "nasty". After killing the Countess, the Ancestor drained her blood, bottled it into wine bottles, and at the next gathering, served it to the other nobles. Whether this was out of disgust towards them for their behavior or him viewing them as parasites living off his wealth is hard to say, nor is it known what he hoped to accomplish. Possibly he just assumed her corrupt blood would prove a poison that would give them a slow, agonizing death. But it didn't quite go the way he'd hoped. When his guests drank it, they turned into demonic abominations like the Countess, and all turned on each other. In his horror, he dropped his own glass (which of course, he never intended to drink from) and a single drop flew into his mouth. That one small taste opened his eyes, letting him see the horror that lurked below the Hamlet, a vision that gave him the urge to learn more...}}
* [[Lovecraft Lite]]: If you're a fan of [[Cthulhu Mythos]] stories, it's easy to see the references in this game. To give one example, the questline at the Farmstead is a clear [[Homage]] to ''[[The Colour Out of Space]]''.
* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Dungeon layouts are randomized, and while they have "Apprentice", "Veteran" and "Champion" designations, there is still a wide variation of difficulties within each, and party and trinket choices add even more variables to the pot.
