DARQ will take you on a journey through Lloyd's dreams that quickly turn into a loop of nightmares. The boy’s main priority is to wake up, but unfortunately, each attempt sinks him deeper into his lucid subconscious-driven dreams. Lloyd has to adapt to the new world, re-learn gravity, strain all of his senses and mind in order to solve puzzles and sneak past the creatures guarding the corners of DARQ.

Will you decipher the true meaning of Lloyd’s dreams?

The Complete Edition includes:

DARQ - Original Game

The Tower DLC - Lloyd wakes up in his dreams again only to find himself in a Tower filled with many new mysteries, puzzles, and creepy creatures

The Crypt DLC - Another loop of nightmares continues introducing new mechanics and puzzles in a crypt filled with dark surprises

Playing the DLCs does not require finishing the base game.

Overall Impression:

A really dark and creepy little platform/puzzler.  It didn't take long to really get a creepy vibe from it. One the best horror games I've played in awhile. Certainly one of the most intelligent. It's really designed well. Where it makes you think, but not to much to where it's frustrating. The Puzzles and environment manipulation just really mold in nicely with the horrific story and happenings to Lloyd.
