If you don't have many of the Stardock games, here's your chance to find out what you're missing.

Very tempted by this and by Dying Light and Starpoint Gemini: Warlords. Anyone played either of the latter two?

Darkest dungeon has great art, great audio, pretty decent in-the-moment gameplay, but if I'm being honest, it's really just a tutorial for sociopathy. The sooner you quit looking at your little pawns as people, quit caring for them; and just treat them as easily broken, easily replaced cogs in YOUR master plan, the more successful you'll be at the game.
Not sure how I feel about that.
It's one thing to go all Blazkowicz on Nazi's, or even Carver/Unnamed/Brody/Ghale on Clearly violent Anti-you bad guys.
it's another to hire 4 level 0 dudes off a stagecoach, throw them into a dungeon with zero provisions, only recall them once people start dying, and then kick the ones that survive broken and insane to the curb while you count your loot; and then do that again and again for 15-60% of the game.

That's the thing about the game I actually liked. Too many games present horrifying circumstances as if they are normal with no real impact on the characters.
Here the fragile nature of sanity is tested and the true monster that is killing everyone is greed.
You don't need to open any of the containers, but then you do, and the little animated people suffer for it.
The game is pretty much an analogue to the modern world. People with money and power consume the lives of those they hold influence over in order to gain more money and power.
And yet, it's mostly all consensual.
The people who obey believe they must in order to survive. Because knowing exactly how horrible and destructive a certain choice is, still feels safer than the unknown of real freedom.
In the end that's the only real choice we ever make in life. Do we become a cog, supporting the machinery of the existing world or do we become a wrench that disrupts it.
This game illustrates the potential dangers of simply living at the command of others.

How do the humble bundle things work? I've never really looked at them or anything but this Stardock one they're doing has some games I wouldn't mind giving a shot. Is it just steam keys for everything or no ties to steam or what?
