    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. Makes one wonder why people more commonly associate vampires with bats when mosquitoes have more in common with the myths.

    • @mikhailthegreatestdragon3627
      @mikhailthegreatestdragon3627 Před 6 lety +203

      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.

      @@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.

    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!

    Horror movies have never scared me. That wasn't a boast or anything. It's just, when I close my eyes and listen to this and my imagination wanders, I can truly experience fear. It's exhilarating, I must say. Chills raking up and down my spine. I kind of like it.

    There's a reason why you're one of my favorite composers, Stuart! I grew up with your soundtracks for Prince of Persia, and I'm beyond happy to listen one of your works again. I wish you did soundtracks for more video games; they make for excellent background music while writing!
    Keep up the good work!

    This soundtrack is by far one of the best I've ever heard for a video game. The perfect dose of epicness in a global atmosphere of terror and horror. The never-stopping violins as the mosquitoes and the bugs never stop harassing you. The low but still quite perceivable vocals translating the nobelty through this mass of monstruosity.
    Damn.. As soon as I heard it for the first time, I stopped everything to search it on CZcams. Wonderful job Stuart !

    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.

    One of the most beautifully haunting themes ever composed, such a brilliant piece of work. It does make me wish, however, that this were the actual boss theme of the Countess herself, not just the basic theme of the Courtyard area. Especially the transition halfway through, adding those drums, makes it almost too perfect for her fight, changing from phase one to phase two, showcasing what a frenzied beast she becomes.
