Darkest Dungeon is a dark fantasy dungeon-crawling game by Red Hook Studios, released in 2016 and famous for its grim narrator, voiced by Wayne June, whose lines comment on the player's failures and discoveries. Clips of his delivery spread through gameplay videos, streams and meme edits, where the slow, ominous tone became shorthand for disaster and despair. The horror line endures because it fits almost any moment of collapse, from a lost boss fight to a real-life mishap, giving ordinary setbacks a dramatic, gothic weight.
