Darkest Dungeon is a dark fantasy dungeon crawler from Red Hook Studios in which a sardonic narrator comments on the player's party as it explores cursed dungeons and suffers losses. The line 'Mortality clarified' accompanies a killing blow, summing up a character's death in the game's bleak, literary tone. Clipped from gameplay and shared by fans, it has become a shorthand reaction for a sudden, decisive defeat in gaming videos, streams and edits, where its grave delivery makes an ordinary loss feel final and theatrical.
