Bedlam Bride (6)? I’m finding it to be pretty dark. Butcher’s Masquerade (5) had its moments, too.

I think a lot of them go dark (I'm mid way through This Inevitable Ruin) but that scene with the hoarder, I dunno, for me, it hit much harder than anything else. I expect tragedy and sadness but that poor lady begging... It just got me.

Oh, it was a taste of what the book series has. DCC is a horror series under the mask of a light hearted dungeon crawler

It's a dark and political story wearing the skin of a light hearted romp like a serial killer with their victim's face.

It takes a book or 2 for the mask to really slip (hence the hammyness of the first book or 2). It's an excellent story, though a little marmite like (you either love it or hate it).

In my head, that scene is much darker than almost anything that follows. There's a lot where if you take a step back and think about it, ooof. But that's scene is the most inescapable gut punch (if you know some Spanish.)

Great series though, mixes the light heartedness with an eventually pretty heavy undertone.
