Darkest Dungeon

A gothic turn-based RPG where you recruit and lead a party of flawed heroes into dark dungeons. Besides health, your heroes suffer stress that can make them act unpredictably. Fallen heroes stay dead, and you keep running expeditions from a hamlet you slowly rebuild. It is punishing by design. Is it your kind of game?
