Darkest Dungeon - The Beginning of The End Trailer (FANMADE)

Damn, I have no idea why I made this. I was trying to sleep a couple of days ago and I just kept thinking about how cool it would be if darkest dungeon had a cartoon. So instead of sleeping I sat up and began writing the script for this trailer thing.
And to clear things up. No im not making a cartoon. Not because I don't want too. But because I don't have enough money, enough time and id probably require a small team to help me. But maybe one day I'll make it into a reality! But for now, this will stay as a proof of concept.

[@kristofkoncz8634]

It's a wonderful game about, I quote: "Making the best of the worst situation" It can be one of the most fun games you ever played, or a gruelling, torturous experience. Sometimes the game showers you with fortune. Loot and treasure around every corner! Felling enemies effortlessly! Other times it holds out just the thing you need an inch in front of your face, and pulls it away at the very last second, dooming your entire party. It's a game you can really immerse yourself in, every time your hero gets a lucky crit and explains that he/she is excited, you can physically feel his/her excitement as you sit in front of the screen, but this also works the other way around: "You ready a party of four trusted adventurers to be sent on a quest in the old ruins under the family manor. It's your first time going on a longer adventure, you have no idea what to prepare, how much food or medicine to bring. You pack a decent amount, and then it's Bombs Away! Everything is going smoothly, the combat, the loot, all is good, until a horde of skeletons appears out of nowhere. The party is taken by surprise as they have the upper hand. One punishing battle later, most of the party is heavily damaged, but as there are only 2 more rooms left to clear, you decide to use the last of your food to heal. As you continue, in the middle of the corridor lay a trap, unnoticed by the party. The mechanism is triggered as the cleric steps on the pressure plate. A moment later the party is in dissaray, every member is worn down, with no food left to heal, but only one room remains, you musn't give up now. As you continue a game message pops up: "Hunger" 'The party must be fed or they take 20% max HP damage' But they don't have 20%HP left. The only button on the screen you can press will let them starve, killing them all. And in that moment, sitting in front of your computer, you can feel the despair of the adventurers, who just realised, that these dungeon halls will be their grave" Hope I didn't discourage you . It's a great hame TBH.

[@ethanedwards3357]

@@kristofkoncz8634 Actually, that "but they didn't have 20% HP left" is inaccurate. Why? Because of DEATH'S DOOR! If a hero hits 0 health, they don't die immediately. They're put in death's door, and every attack after that has a chance to kill them, even if it does 0 damage. Being healed takes them off death's door, but a heart attack from teaching max stress puts them on death's door immediately, and a heart attack on death's door is guaranteed to kill them.
