Brilliant soundtrack. This piece in particular is my favorite, it's hauntingly beautiful and brings the entire atmosphere of The Court together. Darkest Dungeon is one of the few games that I purchased the soundtrack for, it goes beyond just a game and falls into the category of art with it's fantastic graphics, atmosphere, voice talent, and especially music. Great work, Mr. Chatwood. I hope to see more in the future!

Come to think of it, _very_ true! Unlike bats, sunlight apparently really is too hot for the vermin and garlic seems to be rather effective as mosquito repellent, overwhelming the creatures senses.

@mikhailthegreatestdragon36276 жыл бұрын
People associate vampires with bats cause they're a creature of the night. We believe beings like vampires only strike during dark and that's what bats do. Mosquitoes can bite even in the sun, so they don't exactly count.
@droylajarhirthefelinethief815 жыл бұрын
@@Lord_Numpty Because they were a part of the original vampire mythos to begin with. Back in the Middle/Dark Ages people were actually afraid that vampires existed and they associated certain conditions with vampirism. One such disease was rabies, a disease transmitted by biting, no less. It's also the reason why vampires are afraid of water, since hydrophobia is a common symptom of rabies. Bats bite people and give them rabies, which meant that it made them vampires.

@ethanedwards33573 жыл бұрын
Most (though not all) enemies in the courtyard have an attack called "The thirst." If this hits, there's a chance your character will be infected with the Crimson Curse, a unique disease similar to vampirism that is nigh-impossible to cure. Being infected with it works like a normal disease, so it's based on disease resistance. Being infected with the Crimson Curse removes all other diseases, and you cannot get any other diseases on a cursed hero. That being said, if a character with it goes too long without drinking "The Blood", they will die without a deathblow check. The curse will be cured for all infected heroes once a courtyard boss is defeated, and there is a boss that appears only when you have too many cursed heroes in your party that may drop a cure. In addition, once all courtyard bosses are defeated, the sanitarium develops a method to cure it like a normal disease.

I'm blown away with how well your music captures the atmosphere of the game's different areas, especially in the Crimson Court. The violins imitating the sound of mosquitos was a stroke of genius. Darkest Dungeon is a game with a lot of great elements, you've got the art, the narration, the tense gameplay, but your music really pulls it all together for me. In a lot of ways it's the soul of the game. I couldn't help pick up the soundtrack in the bundle on steam, looking forward to hearing more of your work in the future. Keep it up!

Howdy, Mr. Chatwood! Remember me? I’m the guy who’s running a campaign using the Hamlet as a setting, with some creative liberties, of course. Anyway, since you evidently showed some interest, and I feel like talking about it, I’m writing this comment. Before we talk about the story, though, we have to talk about the characters. Player number 1 is playing a wizard named Gage Alric. Specifically, Abjuration, or in non tabletop words, he’s playing a defensive wizard. His backstory is that he got trained by a Lich, Amortis, who sent him to the Hamlet to take care of something. Player number 2 is playing a rogue named Genevieve Gardener. Her older brother, Jack, was a serial killer in a town called Westhaven. Due to her learning about this, she got roped into Jack’s schemes, before killing him years later. She came to the Hamlet ideally seeking redemption, but she knows it was actually to have a place to die. The party’s NPC friend is named Styx, a soul inside of a rock, inside of a suit of armor. He’s a cleric, and part of an old religious organization called The Order of the Flame. This brings us to the last session that happened, in which the Party embarked to kill the Baron. After befriending a Wizened Shrew and fighting through the Courtyard, they came face to face with the Baron. Given the stat block I was using, this fight ended up being actually threatening, especially considering there was nowhere to hide. Regardless of this, the party had brought the Baron and his game’s participants to dire straits, which had given the Baron the ability to use *The Thirst.* Given the fact that the Baron was at 7 hp, I decided to have him use it. So, I roll to attack Genevieve. 19 to hit. “Okay”, I thought, thinking this wouldn’t do all that much. So, I roll for damage, and I roll max on the die. So, Genevieve takes 14 points of damage, which reduced her to 0 hp. With this occurring, Gage evaluated the situation, and makes... well, those of you who play tabletop games, you know what spell you take at level 5. Gage tells the Baron, “Given your status, I doubt much has been given to you recently. I, however, shall grant you this small mercy. *Burn.*” Gage casts Fireball, the Baron fails his dexterity save, and he takes like 30 points of fire damage. This kills him, burning away nothing but the tongue in the Baron’s chest. I would elaborate further, but I’m tired of writing. Anyway, this is a great piece, keep at it Mr. Chatwood.

Even the citizens of the hamlet can hear their echoing screams, coming from that bloodsoaked swamp. They're crying out, seeking that sweet liquor made from corrupted flesh. They have been freed from the trapping of their mortality, only to be locked away within their very own perverted minds, crazed by the taste of that tempting fluid. What little humanity they had left is now long gone. They have become a part... of the Darkest Dungeon

This is fantastic! I can't wait to get into the Crimson Court myself and get destroyed by the new vampiric-looking horrors that await while listening to a theme that sounds like an unstoppable certain doom! Absolutely love it, awesome work! :)

I think Red Hook and the Darkest Dungeon is really lucky with you sir. This piece is as good as the Town in Chaos soundtrack. High quality!
@StuartChatwood7 жыл бұрын
B. Sz. Thanks. Town in Chaos is another of my favourites. I was very lucky also to hook up with Red Hook. The art, narration, sound Fx and game play were all inspiring. Great game.

I'm listening to this while I go hunt for alien nests in factorio. The size and unsettlingness of the... things... spawned from those nests just so happens to make the music fit.

Stuart Chatwood In fact pretty much the thing that made me buy the game when watching a few Let's Play videos. Seriously has that epic feeling like something you'd hear in a trailer for a Zack Snyder film. Love the industrial flourishes in that one too.

Chris from Red Hook was very supportive of the industrial direction for some of the tracks.

Funnily enough, ruins was always my least favorite. Before this, I had a special place in my heart for the Warrens theme. And the warrens in general, actually. Shame they so easy compared to the other dungeons, they were badass.
@BunnychanFarabee7 жыл бұрын
Warrens theme is also amazing. Didn't mean to slight any of the other music in the game, was posting from a phone at the time! Make no mistake the music in this game is absolutely masterful. Perfect fusion of modern sound design and classical tension. As an electronic music composer myself, it's been extremely influential in some of my latest work.

I Gotta say, this soundtrack and the Dark Souls games as well as Bloodborne are generally the only games I never turn the soundtrack off in. I've even used music from the Darkest Dungeon OST to set the tone for my tabletop roleplaying games. Mr. Chatwood, the fact that you can build such atmosphere with music is appreciative beyond words. You're a colossus of music in my book.

Thank you for such amazing pieces, Stuart! I actually tested the DLC myself in the two weeks before launch, and you can find me in the credits! Of course, the moment we were told to start up CC and go to the courtyard, I cranked the music all the way up and waited for the masterpiece. I was not disappointed! I look forward to listening to your future endeavors. Keep doing what you're doing, bud!
