Get Ready for Madness as the Darkest Dungeon makes its way to PS4 next year. Developed by Red Hook Studios a 5 team indie group from Vancouver Canada. Darkest Dungeon is a classic RPG title that takes inspiration from dungeon crawling game genre's.

In an attempt to create something uniquely different, Red Hook Studios have focused on the idea of "Stress."

Everything you do, see and experience in Darkest Dungeon will affect your stress level both good and bad. Gaining notoriety on your quest will help lift your spirit, but being infected with rabies from a dog bite will have the opposite affect states Chris Bourassa Red Hook's creative director.

The more you play, your characters will begin to handle stressful situation much better with experience. Reaching your maximum stress capacity will put your character in a state of affliction which does lead to quite a few unpredictable and interesting outcomes and reactions, while the contrary will see your character going into heroic mode, where they can inspire allies to charge boldly into battle or improve combat or defensive abilities.


Darkest Dungeon is set to launch next year 2015. You can also visit Red Hook at their website for more info on this intriguing game.
