OVERVIEW: A 72 hour demake of Darkest Dungeon, an upcoming indie squad management roguelike about the psychology of dungeon crawling--as seen on the Gameboy. Guide your wanderers through 10 horrifying floors of perilous adventure, keep them from driving each other mad, and discover the dark secrets of the DANKEST DUNGEON!
CONTENT NOTE: Contains references to alcoholism, death, gore, creepy eldritch things, mental illness, an antiquated misogynist slur, and abusive language.

HINTS AND TIPS:
1. When exploring, use the arrows to navigate on the Map in the bottom right corner. If you can't move, hit Cancel until the Map is highlighted again.
2. Positioning is important in battle! It determines what skills you can use, and whether your foes can target you. If someone's wounded, you may want to move them away from the front line!
3. Characters have a Stress meter, which is built up by enduring traumatic events and critical hits. When it gets too high, they develop debilitating Quirks. If they have too many Quirks, they may die! You can drink a Flask or Wine to lower your Stress... too much drinking will make you sloppy in combat, though!
4. If you're running low on health, use a Firewood to make Camp. Cook a few rations to recover some Health, or 8 to make a feast, and recover some Stress too!
5. The game does have an end, but it might be tough to reach. Even if you don't make it, you can still get a High Score based on the value of loot you get. Feel free to share your high scores here!
