About the adventure
You've been tempted by the promise of loot to those that are brave enough to crawl through the confusing and dangerous locations surrounding the Hamlet! You'll need your whits, bravery, and plenty of silliness to fight the monsters in the surrounding areas in order to grow your wealth, improve your skills, and become the legends you set out to be. Inspired by the hit indie game The Darkest Dungeon, leveraging the core systems of Shadowdark - limited inventory, torches, and resources - you'll have to battle your way through narrow corridors, past deadly traps, and around horrible monsters that wish to stop you in your tracks. Are you brave enough to delve...into the Darkest Dungeon?
