Overview

Welcome to Darkestville, a town where evil isn't just encouraged, it's mandatory. You play as Cid, a professional tormentor and local menace who thrives on the suffering of villagers. For years, balance was maintained through Cid's wickedness. However, an outsider named Dan Teapot has disrupted this order by hiring demon hunters, leading to Cid's banishment. Annoyed and ready for revenge, Cid embarks on a mission to make everyone's day worse.

Darkestville Castle is a classic point-and-click adventure game developed by Epic Llama Games and published by ESDigital Games. Instead of saving the world, your goal is to make it a more miserable place.

The game features a charming, hand-drawn art style and a humorous tone, making the descent into villainy a delightful experience.
