About
Karma: The Dark World is a first-person cinematic psychological thriller set in a dystopian world where the Leviathan Corporation is omnipresent. The year is 1984, the place is East Germany, and things are not quite what they seem.
Explore an alternate timeline set in 1984 East Germany; the Leviathan Corporation rules with an iron fist, controlling its citizens through mass surveillance, social class rules, mind altering drugs and the promise that the gates to Utopia will open to those who serve.
You are Daniel McGovern, a Roam Agent for Leviathan’s Thought Bureau. Using advanced technology to dive into the minds of the accused – you will investigate crime scenes, interview suspects and report your findings back to Leviathan.
Investigate the twisted environments of suspects memories and the horrors that lurk within the corners of their minds. Test your sanity as the boundaries between reality and the surreal blur together – can you trust what you see and keep your sense of self?
Lose yourself in a cinematic interactive story, that explores the themes of family, love, loss and control – where a simple investigation leads to a world of espionage and betrayal, littered with deep and dark secrets.
Karma: The Dark World utilises the most advanced Unreal Engine 5 features, including Lumen and Nanite, that push the visual boundaries of storytelling – combining meticulously detailed visuals of a dystopian reality, high quality motion-capped acting and mind bending surreal environments to create a distinctly immersive experience.
Features:
Become a Roam Agent: Step into the shoes of Daniel McGovern and use a combination of investigative tools, interviews and your own keen intellect to solve puzzles and unravel the truth.
Open Your Mind: Dive into the memories of suspects to retrace their steps and piece together your investigations, but be careful - the human mind is a dangerous place where emotions, will and desire hold power.
Discover the Truth: Keep your sanity and wits about you whilst uncovering a dark story of love, loss and deception, where nothing is as it seems and every turn brings another twist to unravel.
Next Generation Visuals: Explore a meticulously detailed world with stunning visuals and effects all powered by Unreal Engine 5.

It's trippy, play it not sober.
When I first saw this game, it reminded me of Observer: System Redux. It has the same atmosphere where everything is weird (like the story) and, most importantly, really good graphics. But it is very different from Observer: System Redux where both have investigation, but this game is all about solving soft puzzles, very lite gameplay which will always change at some point and some stupid puzzles that do not make sense, like some side figure puzzles that you will collect throughout the game (or maybe I just did not understand them). Along side the puzzles and the good story, it has a diverse atmosphere of soft Horror that will make you scared in some moments and an emotional story that will suddenly happen after a horror experience. I wished that they included choice matter in the game which would have made it way better. Overall, the game is amazing but it might not be for everyone. It has soft and stupid puzzles, it has a good story, it also has horror which for me is not as scary as RE7. (Based on my feelings: 7.8/10 😊)

шикарная игра, ненавижу ее
bad
Korku oyunu olduğunu düşünüp almıştım yaptığım en güzel hata oldu belkide. hayatımda oynadığım en iyi oyunlardan biri oldu. müzikleri, grafikleri, animasyonu ve özellikle hikayesi ile başyapıttı. oyunun bitmesine üzülmek çok garip ;(
really pretty visuals and i couldn't quite understand what's going on until the end but what kills it for me is just the gameplay I really hope devs like these stay in business but please, shoot higher for gameplay next time I don't need everything to be a shooter but at least understand that Walking Sims area also supposed to be adventure games meaning having interactivity with substance instead of long stretches of just watching through barely interactive cutscenes
KARMA: The Dark World est un jeu assez court, comptez environ 5 heures pour le terminer. Le jeu est magnifique, avec une direction artistique originale et parfois vraiment angoissante. Le gameplay est simple, avec quelques énigmes disséminées tout au long de l'aventure. Certains thèmes abordés sont violents et peuvent déranger. Controle, Traumatisme, Manipulation .. Je n'ai rencontré aucun screamer… ou alors c'est juste moi qui me suis fait peur tout seul. Une petite pépite à choper en promo. J'ai hâte de voir ce que le studio nous réserve par la suite. Si vous êtes fan de science-fiction ou d'horreur psychologique, foncez !
I loved it! I feel like it was more of a cinematic experience than a game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It takes you down so many twists and turns. Such a fascinating undertone and atmosphere. Really gets in your mind and that is part of the charm. In a sense it's like a metaphor for a fight for your consciousness in the world. I do recommend it if you enjoy these kind of experiences!
Great game. Psychedelic, orwellian, absorbing, visually beautiful and overall ambitious. It starts as a trippy walking simulator with some light-puzzles; as the story evolves and gets more clear, it starts throwing in boss fights too. Story-telling wise, it's a very ambitious game that lays down the premises for a greater story. In its best moments, it borders on hallucinogenic while managing to deliver emotionally. Story-telling wise, a few moments might result a bit vague in the way they're presented. The gameplay feels like it could have been a bit more even. It is mostly based on puzzles that are not too complex, while the boss fights are a complete change of style, pace, type and level of challenge. It works, especially cause it's overall so nice and well-done, but at times it feels a bit rough around the edges and could use a bit more balance.
总的来说画面表现力蛮强的，恐怖氛围营造的很好，但优点也就这些了。 首先是解谜，我认为这是整个游戏最恶心的地方，解谜完全没有任何提示，全靠你自己在场景里找，找到的线索也是你自己去联系起来，自己猜测，初次游玩，不看攻略再某些解谜里能耗上一两个小时，尤其破坏游戏氛围，当你正沉浸在游戏氛围中时给你来个解谜，一弄就是以小时为单位，等弄完氛围也没了。 然后是后面的剧情，我不太明白蕾切尔和卢卡斯的爱情线对剧情起到什么作用，为蕾切尔与教授合作提供动机？对于卢卡斯这个怪物和相关的蕾切尔父母剧情也是莫名其妙，就是蕾切尔父母想控制女儿，结果卢卡斯和蕾切尔恋爱，他们认为是卢卡斯不付钱就像抢走他们的女儿，然后伤害卢卡斯。不是这段剧情就是纯工具剧情，全为后续剧情铺路。从肖恩剧情就开始营造卢卡斯这个怪物的恐怖和神秘，我还以为是什么公司的邪恶计划，结果到后面就没起啥用，他唯一的作用似乎就是在boss战提供紧张感。 包括前面的社会等级制度，肖恩一家的悲惨和反乌托邦的表现都让我以为这是一部讲反抗吃人体制的故事，结果后面来个超能力姐姐，然后来个家破人亡，最后经过姐姐一阵莫名其妙的家庭温馨回忆，然后就一家在幻境中团聚，主角帮忙拍照，然后结束了？太突兀，这就导致后续所有家庭相关的剧情很割裂，情感也有些莫名其妙。 除非你是解谜重度爱好者，画质党，对剧情没太多要求的玩家，那我还是很推荐这个游戏的。
