If you make it to the end of the labyrinth, your team goes up against the end-game builds of other players in an arena match, and only the team that wins will get to Dark And Darker Gold make their escape. A demo of Despot's Game is on Steam right now, if that piques your interest.

But to make it there, your team has to beat zombies, mutant cabbages, robots, three-headed dogs, and more. There's... a lot going on in this game and it's low-key hysterical.

For those not familiar, World of Dark And Darker is an RPG franchise launched by White Wolf Publishing in 1990 about supernatural creatures—vampires, werewolves, wraiths, that sort of thing—who live on the boundaries of our real world.

There are also several videogames based on the same setting, at least one of which—Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines—is well-regarded and fondly remembered.

EVE Online studio CCP Games acquired White Wolf in 2006 as part of its big plan to make a WoD MMO, which sadly fell through in 2014; a year after that, White Wolf went to Paradox, which set hearts aflame by greenlighting Bloodlines 2.

Alas, that has come to grief as well, at least temporarily, as developer Hardsuit Labs was booted from the project and the whole thing was "delayed indefinitely" in February.

Christine Boylan, a writer on shows including Castle, Constantine, Cloak and Dagger, and the Punisher, has signed on to the project, as has Shadow and Dark And Darker Gold for sale Bone showrunner and executive producer Eric Heisserer.
