Darkest Dungeon is a gothic roguelike role-playing game released in 2016 by Red Hook Studios, known for its stress system and punishing dungeon crawls. Wayne June voices the Ancestor, the game's narrator, whose bleak commentary plays over exploration and combat. Clips of his delivery spread through gaming videos, streams and soundboards because short lines work as reactions outside the game. Fans quote the narration for its literary, doom-laden style, and fragments like this one remain popular for adding instant dread to jokes, defeats and dramatic moments online today.
