Man, my friends and I rented this game out for Halloween, and we had so much fun with it! It even recommends an official Spotify playlist that you can have in the background and playing with only candlelightfor the mood. So much tension and fun.

DM: Beware adventurers, for this darkness is not like the darkness seen in most other dungeons. In this labyrinth of evil and gloom, the darkness is a living being, a monster beyond natural understanding, only barely held back by the light of your torches. Should your fires die out, you will surely drown in the darkness, until the fires in your souls are smothered into mere embers and put out as well. Cleric: okay, I cast light. Plus, I have darkvision. DM: Fuck.
So true. most games are about skill, where if you are better than the rest, you have the highest chance of winning. But this...this is luck, anyone can win, it makes it interesting and not knowing where stuff is, is pretty scary.
@@seanlee2730 Darkest Dungeon is a very stylish and challenging turn-based RPG. It also involves exploring dungeons with a party of very mortal heroes, and you have a torch that you can ignite or snuff to alter the risk and rewards of your delve. The end game kinda drags on and can become a slog, but the music, art, narration, atmosphere, and combat are all really good.
My friend got this game and we played it together once. It was SUPER fun! Our group struggled to get into board games because of how it gets when competing against eachother, and this game let us enjoy a more cooperative experience that was honestly a blast.
You should try out forbidden island where you work together and trade cards with each other so you can get all of the statues and escape as the island slowly sinks into the sea.
Only time I played Forbidden Island was with a type-A red personality who just told everybody what to do, so it looked kinda fun watching him play himself I guess?
I haven't played it, but my worry is that it is mostly luck based and not much strategy or tactics are required, based on my impression given all the random elements presented in this video. Me and my friends like strategic games. Am I misunderstanding this one? It seems like a fun concept but I'm concerned that it might just be a cool series of luck events
@@danielhughes3758 luck is sort of the point. The game is against you but that's horror for You. There are some things You can do to alleviate the pressure tho. I love it. Communicating is the Big strategy here.
@@danielhughes3758 It is a lot of luck but sometimes strategy is needed as well. Counting how many door tiles are left, having someone stay behind to hold the door and preventing a path from connecting to the door, managing encounters with monsters to alleviate how badly it hurts fellow players
Reminds me of Forbidden desert but more eldritch horror than Steampunk. Your airship crashed in a desert and you need to find all the missing pieces to fix it up and get it. However there is a storm brewing. After each players turn the storm covers up and moves tiles around. With the sun beating down on you, you need to manage your water supplies with cover or special artifacts. Get all the pieces back to the landing site to win.
This reminds me a lot about The Darkest Dungeon and I already love it. I have to buy it. It would be even cooler to play it while being actually in the dark with only candles and if you lose, you blow out the candle
Very interesting concept. And it’s nice to see that some people are still interested in board games. My only suggestion is that perhaps the candle playing pieces should be 3-D and stand up to make them easier to move. (Maybe even make each one a color coded LED light.)
Love this one. No one will believe this, but a buddy of mine had me over to play test this game before it’s release. He ended up buying two copies when it came out and has some cool metal keys and spooky figures for it too. Highly recommend.

Fear & Hunger and Amnesia had a child and it was a board game
Fear and hunger amnesia and inscription all in one
Will it grow into a video game?
Fear and Hunger: that's not my child. It has all its limbs intact
This reminded me more of dark wood
@@TenmaBackup Dark Wood doesn't really have dungeons like this. I may be wrong since I haven't finished the swamp yet.
Real cool idea. It is good to see that board-games are still alive and well, along with the highly imaginative creation of new ones.
The board game scene been poppin off fr
Yeah
Board games are super super active tbh. It's awesome
Blame Catan
Yeah! I’m in a couple of clubs and I swear someone shows up with a new board game every week!
The table top scene is huge brother.
Yo I want to see an animation based on this game
Or game this would be a super fun small time steam game like lethal company
Imma make it

This sounds like a hellish game. I'm going to use it to inspire a dnd dungeon
My thoughts exactly
Now that I think about it, you could probably use this game for the dungeons!
Yes, I will do this too. It’s strange how so much can be used for DnD

@willc3697 That's why you say it's a special type of magical darkness.
I'm definitely gonna pick that up at some point that looks awesome
It does
I have it, and it's an interesting play.

Naaaa boy!! Play at the table PA’
it would absolutely be very very popular if it was a video game misssed oppurtinity ngl
That's certainly a dark dungeon, possibly even the Darkest Dungeon
@@seanlee2730 I'm pretty sure there's a game called Darkest Dungeon
That's correct. @@thetorterradude

i was looking for someone to mention Darkest Dungeon
Sounds like every caving trip ive ever been on! Its really being with your friends that makes it so fun ❤
Its called spelunking
What the fuck
Yo what caves you go in
Nah you are a victim

I like how we all came to the conclusion that this would make a great dnd game
I played this at a convention once! Great game. It comes with and eerie soundtrack to listen to while you play.
But you didn't buy it? :/
@@Phildiculous I did, actually. We also bought 20 other board games at the convention and haven't gotten back to playing it.

in LOVE with everything about this. the design is simple but the aura is incredible, and i absolutely adore the monster designs and concepts

I love this game! The maze evolves and changes around you the moment you look away, and it makes for a really fun night with the buds
In that game, "Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and incidius killer."
I love the style and idea of this game but I was so confused playing it for the first time
As board game I don’t see this being interesting. But as a film, video game or an animation, this would be absolutely awesome.
This would be an excellent horror game or animation
Yo im actually really surprised i actually want to play this
Also i want to see a movie about this game
Okay, one of my friends is a board game enthusiast, and I think I need to get this for him.
I love Night cage so much, definitely worth playing, five players is the best
Bought this randomly at a game shop about a year ago… absolute masterpiece of a game
This is surprisingly similar to the board game “Mechanical Beast”. This is like a horror version of it.
i wish i had ppl to play with this looks cool as hell

Not afraid of the Dark: 🗿

..... New DND map idea.... Gonna need to buy this
I'm putting this on my Christmas wishlist
Darkwood vibes
Sir, you have my respect for knowing that game.
Oh good, I wasn't the only one feeling that
They should actually make this into a real horror game.
Definitely a fun boardgame, played it a few months ago at a local boardgame cafe
That's cool! It's like a nightmare version of Forbidden Island.
I love your reviews.
"then you'll be consumed by this darkness"
Sounds fun, I wanna play it
This game is a staple for halloween parties for me
I have the urge to try and make a multiplayer video game out of this.
Been trying to find this game, anywhere i can get thats cheaper than amazon? Im from southeast asia
I do not, you would have to check your local gamestores or message the developers and see if they could cut you a deal!
I would check at your Barnes and nobles, I got mines for $46
What's stopping players from jumping back and forth, cycling tiles until they get a key card?
This game should be in the hunger games in teams of 4
HAHHA this is gonna ruin some friendship😂 friends will keep complaining whoever isnt productive😂
Just listening to this gave me chills!! How can a boardgame be this terrifying??
I always feel dumb when I'm hearing any board game explained.
Board games should never disappear, but many need to be digitalized and playable on things the Steamdeck and Switch.
btw, Im is at LEAST 900 years old. The void century ENDED 800 years ago, and he was probably there for the beginning of it
Darkwood is an indie game on steam that is exactly remiscient of this dark art style for those who are interested
this sounds like it would give my lil cousins nightmares.........i'll take 7
I no no wanna :’(
Too bad you're playing it tommorow whether you like it or not
i have never said or ment this, to this extend in all of my life. ahem: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
His voice and music gives me chills
Literally the start of "Surviving The Game as a Barbarian" but with lights
Looks like fun. Imagine playing with the lights off using real candlelight!? Lol
ahh, basically "how to have a mental breakdown after playing for 8 hours and still not winning"
This game sounds like it would take longer than a full marathon of the Hobbit/LotR films... the extended versions. Cool art though. 💀
This board game looks kinda cool
Where can i buy it?
(I lived in malaysia)
This concept could make interesting game/story ideas.
Like hear the music which is playing in the background
theres this scary game, idk if uve heard of it, called among us.
What if there was a monster that’s the size of the rim of the board and every turn that happens it gets closer
I would love this game but I costs 10000 in India 😢😢
Brooo I need to play this when Halloween comes back around
Yo pls make an app or online game based on this. So many people would play it.
I played this one with my friends. It was pretty fun and intense! It even has difficulty settings
😮
Dude this seems like an actual amazing game I’d for sure play it
*This is a game?* I thought it was my life… 🥺
This just gave me a great idea for a dnd dungeon, thank you
I want to play this with my siblings sooooooooo bad

There’s a game called the darkest dungeon that has similar mechanics and revolves around light
@@Emily12679 Nice
People who want a pc Version of this game 👇
Sounds like a series of mechanics that could make an amazing DnD session.
This would be an awesome game with friends
Kinda sounds like the Keeyp but darker and better
What a wonderful iteration on a Labyrinth like board game, really cool
Love this one. No one will believe this, but a buddy of mine had me over to play test this game before it’s release. He ended up buying two copies when it came out and has some cool metal keys and spooky figures for it too. Highly recommend.
Well you were already walking around blind, who not continue?
this seems interesting but by no means balance
Nah bro- someone has to make a game out of this
Me which a unhealthy board game obsession: SIGN ME THE FUCK UP
Sounds like an short indie horror someone like Manybadasshero would play.
Am I the only one here that's completely unimpressed? Despite the hype attempt, this game just sounds absurdly boring.
So it's just card party from mario party 5 but without the minigames and with fightable monsters instead
This one reminds me soo much of when Markiplier played *VANISH* ...

Oh my God, please is there an Amazon link

This reminds me a bit of Betrayal at House on the Hill. Looks very interesting. Big fan of these horror board games.
I always find it fun when games representing Eldritch nonsense do it in cool abstract ways like that
This actually reminds me of a boardgame we used to olay as a kid called the amazing labyrinth.
j'ai voulue l'acheté et le faire testé pour y joué.... y'a que le tit de 7 ans qui y voulait ... XD IRONIQUE
the gigantic board taking beast looks amazing
Horrifying? This is going to be more frustrating than Snake and Ladders
This will give the swedish game "drakborgen"a run for it's money...drakborgen only has a 12%chance of survival...i think this has less....
I wish this was more than a board game, maybe like a video game or in real life
Tell me if the game is simple to play and the rules easy to understand.
