You must gather yourself before venturing forth.



<span class="bold">Darkest Dungeon</span>, a visceral RPG/roguelike about adventuring under stress, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows and Mac with a 20% launch discount.

You hear scratching coming from the decrepit wall on your left flank. You turn around swiftly, almost grazing your torch against the Plague Doctor's creepy mask. She screams in panic more than anguish, then accuses you of pulling another one of your Jester's pranks on the group. For there is nothing crawling on the wall. In the echoing darkness of these accursed halls, you begin to wonder whether paranoia has finally gripped you too. But there is one thing you feel certain of: you've long lost your appetite for pranks.

Darkest Dungeon is a turn-based roguelike, which blossomed thanks to the overwhelming reception to its crowdfunding campaign. The community's valuable feedback later helped shape some of the design choices implemented in the game.
You pick a customizable band of distressed adventurers and plunge them into the devouring depths of the Darkest Dungeon. Fear, famine, misfortune, and nightmarish monstrosities are waiting there to gnaw at their troubled souls and fatigued bodies, but the promise of riches and your rousing speeches will keep them going. Until their gruesome, permanent death.



Survive the perils and psychological ordeals native to the <span class="bold">Darkest Dungeon</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. And if you wish to drown out the treacherous voices in your head, you can even grab the <span class="bold">Darkest Dungeon: Soundtrack Edition</span>. The 20% discount will last until February 2, 5:59 PM GMT.



UPDATE:
The Darkest Dungeon launch promo has been extended to last for a total of two weeks — until February 7, 5:59 PM GMT.

If you purchased the game at full price — between January 26, 6:00 PM GMT and January 28, 9:15 AM GMT — we'll contact you via email to address the difference.

Painted_Doll: It is now .

Zoidberg: Oh, good. Price of the game itself is still off though...
Well not for us Australians it isn't . Difference is just currency conversion which is about right.

That said my budget is blown. Gets removed from my steam wishlist and onto the GOG wishlist now :)

nightcraw1er.488: Well, only just seen this. It looks interesting, then I note a) the price, b) the data collection. I realise that GOG's prices have been going up with each release, so I am not suprised, however, how can they advertise this if the data collection module is still enabled, ok its not DRM, but its just a bad.
avatar
bevinator: You can turn the data collection off in the options, fortunately.
Mmm, do I trust it? To often now this is appearing, VVran was another example, had to pull the internet cable whenever I had it installed after it was noticed to be phoning home.

Conrado.Hue: You do realise that GOG, or Steam have very little to say about prices? Game dev sets price, and both sellers have some % from the value. Some games might have a special treatment, but most of the time price is dictated by developer/publisher.

It would be foolish of GOG to stop the release of a game, just because there is optional 'data collection'.
Yes, I should replace GOG with the publisher name, doesn't change the thinking though. Yes, it would be foolish to not release a game because of data collection, or maybe just an online activation, maybe always on...
I do not want my programs connecting to the internet full stop, for any purpose, you are aware of the term Trojan.

micktiegs_8: Was there a big kerfuffle about Renowned Explorers and its Metrics collection option? That was on by default... a simple click turned it off. Such hard work.
Never heard of that game, so no idea.

zlep: Until... you'll... *play* it ?!?!
Don't you realize that that kind of attitude could collapse the entire gaming industry??
The thing that keeps the games economy churning is that we all have 10,000 year backlogs...

IAmSinistar: I know, I'm not doing my part for greater gamerhood kind. Though on a note of my own regarding library size, I just noticed that I have 1110 games on GOG, so the next one will be 1111. :)
Yay beating someone 1230. I'm aiming for my number of games to equal the current year. Sadly on steam on in credit for 62 years :)

The worst thing is when they come to your house and make you do the data collection manually . Here we have this thing called the census where we are compelled to inform on ourselves. We are then later dragged off for thought crimes and subjected to commercial television for days on end as a corrective measure.

At least that's what I'm told, self reporting can be fixed.

Now where did I put my Tinfoil Akubra ;P

Yes, we have a census thing here as well, you can tell by the piles of junk mail that appear right after one of them. As for the telly, yes, get a HDD box and record everything, I stopped watching live TV years ago.
" Now where did I put my Tinfoil Akubra ;P" What, you mean you have taken yours off, damn, deonast is compromised...
I've been watching Baertaffy and Sinvicta play this game for some time. Even though I haven't played any games in months, I will buy this now and maybe even play it!

You could disable it all the time, but to learn that they are collecting some data (they said it is only choices, characters and crash reports), you had to go into options. Many people did that after they started playing, so that's the uproar. In the first update they put a disclaimer in Main Menu.

Conrado.Hue: You could disable it all the time...
I didn't mean, you had no choice in the matter. I'm saying the option was 'on' when you first start up. I'd leave it on, but I already turned it off, and the button is so far away.
I'm happy to send certain stats if it helps them in determining if tweaks are needed. Problem is, I have that 'but there's already so many people doing it, so what's one extra person?' mentality.
Oh well, GG.
Back to the tennis.
Are i unable to change language in gog version? I was reading patch notes, and I should be enable to change it to polish on options > others, but i dont have any language options there

Go in your installation folder of the game and you will find a language selector
Oooh, never thought it would come out on GOG so quicly! Nice! :D

Sadly, I can't justify the expense right now, especially with my current game backlog. But it's going on the wishlist, and I'll definitely get it asap. :)

Yes, the sale price is off, 20% of 22,99 is not 4,50, it's 4,60. There's no invention here, it's pretty basic math and thus the error probably a bug.
I've only been able to get into the game a bit, but so far I'm definitely liking it. Darkest Dungeon has some very choice presentation and UI perks. Plus I've already lost 2 adventurers. Digging the challenge.

basically all games are presented as DRM free ? right?
so that means no active internet connection would be required in order to be able to play the games.

So, unless that game wont run if it cant send data (which is unneeded in my honest opinion to send any data. if my game crashes i will go and report it in the fourm that handles the complaints, theres no data needed to be send 'annonimously')

The internet can be disabled from windows , or remove the plug to the internet,(from your computer) or just block the exe file in the windowsfirewall to prevent it from going out.

If we want gazillions of data send home, then we should all just buy original (drm loaded) origin en drm loaded EA games and some other addware and maybe also spyware.

So just block the .exe file from the game from phoning home.
I havent got the game ( motions/flashes prevent me from buying games with those effects) so i cant see if anything wants to phone home.

But if you are win 10 user :D then just leave all the ET phoning home cause win10 is even worse then any spyware and Mickeysoft is not going to change anything about it, they go for 1 OS and thats win 10 so win 10 will always be a piece op spyware, i think that in the future we will have less freedom and privacy, while it should be the otherway around we should be having more freedom and more privacy.

Anyways its not up to any company to use any software to scan a users pc using a tool, a browser, or windows os, cause this way the honest buyer is once again being treated as a wannabe criminal :D
ubi EA and origin are the ones being named gazillions of times in the search results when you Google, these guys are so superstitious, they see a ghost in every closet :D

Well, my spreadsheet of owned digital games from all sources gives me a total of 1615. But I really don't buy bundles anymore, and purchases from non-GOG sources has drastically decreased. So the GOG number is the important one for me. :)

instead of pulling cable off, you could sandbox the exe file or give it a firewall rule for outgoing connections you know ? even built in very basic firewall in windows do have some advanced options for that now since windows 7

also, as long as those telemetric gathering are REALLY anonymous (like only are about game data, not user ip or anything) AND there is an option to check/uncheck for it, that is not that an outrage or offense to me (and i'm rather vocal and fiercely defiant or opposed to anything close to nosy gaming companies)

when you have witnessed how dragon age would behave (before origin, i mean, by time of first pc release) or even blizzard's wow ("phoning" to some ip other than just bnet authentification server and current played realm; not to mention their "anti cheat" system that would monitor EVERY process running on your machine and report them to blizz); renowned explorer and darkest dungeon are the least of my concern, compared to those (plus they are excellent games)

also gamefreak64 has a very valid point: i can hear any complaint (within reasonnable boundaries) about any telemetric option in an app/game... from any folk who runs linux, windows 7 or below... but from people who are already running the game on a computer using win10, mac os X or even win8.1 and/or also a steam/origin/uplay client alongside, then i'm sorry but i cant take such uproar and indignation seriously at all... because those OS are BLOATING with background telemetrics services and some/most of them are barely within control of user even advanced ones...
