There's a house that's in every world.Maybe it's an apartment no-one ever moves into, or an abandoned house that's never torn down. Maybe its a castle avoided due to an ancient curse, or a space station no-one dares dock with. Whatever form it takes, when you enter, you'll be in the Darkest House.And it hates you.The Darkest House is an 2021 online tabletop horror roleplaying game made by Monte Cook Games, run using a simplified variant on the Cypher System. It’s designed to be inserted as is into any campaign, with the player characters stumbling into the Darkest House from their setting and struggling to escape with their lives and souls intact.It’s also designed specifically for online play, with an app rather than a rulebook that's designed to be easily accessible through clicking and on screens, and the setting designed to incorporate instant messenger and other aspects of online play to build horror.Now. The Darkest House awaits... | |

Psychological Torment Zone | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_105d50b1 | comment |
Psychological Torment Zone: The Darkest House is designed to play on the character’s fears and backstory, in particular the Familiar Room (which appears as a place from the character’s past) and the Tea Room (which drags one of the character’s loved ones into the house). | |

The Heavy | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_1badfbbb | comment |
The Heavy: While the Darkest House is the Big Bad, it’s primarily a background force for pretty obvious reasons. Most of the direct attacks on the players are performed by the Family, the manifestations of toxic love that each hold dominion over a different wing of the house. | |

Ambiguous Situation: In the notes of Philip Harlock, he notes that his memories and the house no longer line up – he recalls his sister, who he never had. Are his memories being altered, or is history? Or both? | |

Alien Geometry: Even the most normal rooms of the house don’t fit together in a coherent way. There are rooms like the Boundless Room (which repeats in every direction) and the Twisted Room (which has wildly variable gravity) which are even worse. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: The Enemy Of Light is an impossibly powerful Eldritch Abomination sealed beneath the Darkest House. It isn't actually trying to escape, and is happy to wait for the house to decay, but its presence may be why the Darkest House is the way it is. | |

Out-of-Genre Experience: The Darkest House is designed to be this, being a Gothic Haunted House story that can appear in any campaign, completely unchanged. Within the house itself the Guardian is a Dark Fantasy room that wouldn’t seem out of place in Dark Souls, the Gatekeeper room is a surreal, New Weird alien spaceship, and the Backrooms are lifted directly from Analog Horror | |

Mechanical Abomination | |

Mechanical Abomination: The Lacuna is an unearthly machine in the basement of the Original House. Touching it hurls you outside of time, forcing you to see all reality at once before hurling you back anywhere from seconds to millennia afterwards ...and it’s unfinished. What it does when complete, no-one knows, but options range from “opening a portal anywhere� to “contacting unspeakable horrors� to “destroying the world.� | |

Always a Bigger Fish: While the Family are the primary threats the Players will face, they’re not the most powerful beings here – the Spirit Of Violence can override the Father and make him leave you alone, and the Brother will flee in terror from the Ravendream. On a larger scale The Enemy Of Light completely dismisses the Darkest House, is unaffected by anything in it, and strongly implies that its “bindings� aren't actually doing anything to stop it leaving. | |

Demonic Possession | |

Demonic Possession: While there’s several ways this can happen, the most notable is the Lurker, who can possess you if you answer the door in the Foyer. It usually lets the player act normally, only taking control to collect the Mystic Tools, possess the foetus in the nursery, and escape into the real world at any cost. | |

| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Implied. The Smiling Man has some connection with the house’s history, with images and depictions of him scattered all over the house, and the binding of the Enemy of Light in the basement appears to have had a radical effect. What exactly either of those entity’s actual role in the Darkest House becoming the Darkest House is, as with most things about the House, highly ambiguous. | |

Living Shadow: The Brother is obnoxious but harmless. His shadow, however, is murderously dangerous. | |

Always Night | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_b0155044 | comment |
Always Night: Through the windows of the house it’s always midnight, no matter the time. If they can get the angle, they can see the moon is blood red. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Philip Harlock’s parents were intensely abusive to him before their deaths. They continue to exist – literally or metaphorically – as the Mother and Father of the Darkest House | |

Translator Microbes | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_bf487e2b | comment |
Translator Microbes: The Darkest House translates every language within its walls. It's hard to emotionally torture someone who doesn’t know what you’re saying, after all. | |

Variable Player Goals | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_c9b7f3e | comment |
Variable Player Goals: In many rooms it is possible for players to be possessed, mind-controlled, replaced with duplicates or otherwise compelled to act against the other characters. In many other rooms, the Darkest House will try to make you think that happened. | |

Antagonist Title: The Darkest House, rather than any of its inhabitants, is the Big Bad of the game. | |

Epiphanic Prison | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_db8ace03 | comment |
Epiphanic Prison: The most pain-free method to leave the house is to overcome its attempts to undermine your reality and undergo true Character Growth from who you were when you entered. | |

Closed Circle | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_e2a6ebc1 | comment |
Closed Circle: It’s almost impossible to leave the Darkest House, whether through lockpicking or teleportation magic, with every attempt simply ending up back in the house. There’s only a few ways around this, and none of them are easy. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: In-universe. Time shifts and warps within the house, which means the GM can decide how long things take and how often people need to eat or sleep at whatever rate suits the plot. | |

Fission Mailed | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
Fission Mailed: If every character suffers a grievous wound (one equal to their rank), they pass out and wake up in the blood fountain. This heals their wound and might even get them a way out, if one of them is willing to stay behind in eternal agony. | |

Haunted House | |
| The Darkest House (Tabletop Game) / int_f9439c84 | comment |
Haunted House: The Darkest House, obviously. It might be the Haunted House, the platonic ideal of which all other haunted houses are just shadows. | |
