What Darkness means in its world
Darkness is what makes a failed Hades escape attempt still feel productive. It is collected as a lasting resource and invested in the Mirror of Night, where it improves the foundations of future runs rather than buying a one-time combat item.
Mirror choices can be reset and reconsidered, so the goal is not to find one universal order. A player struggling with survival may value a different upgrade from someone trying to improve a weapon's damage route.
