Stress can be relieved through praying, gambling or a handful of other activities, with different characters preferring different ways of easing their minds. If adventurers become too stressed, the characters might even become unhinged - a highwayman may become too afraid to attack or an occultist might become too selfish to listen to commands. As heroes are pushed further and further into undead-filled ruins and forests, the uncertainty and danger they face slowly adds to their stress. While most RPGs only task players with managing the physical health of their parties, players of Darkest Dungeon must also be aware of the mental health of their adventurers. Players are tasked with reclaiming a monster-infested mansion and, to do so, they must employ the services of an eclectic crew of glory-seeking adventurers.
