There’s no shortage of gore, and jump scares galore, but it’s still tongue-in-cheek enough to be acceptable most gamers. The overall aesthetic is an eerie combination of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Konami’s Silent Hill, where faceless toothpick-limbed freaks jump from the shadows and wheelchaired tuba-headed torsos stand guard. In fact, when my son passed by he asked “Oh sick, they made a LIMBO 2?” But dismissing DARQ as a LIMBO knockoff would be a disservice to a well-crafted and enjoyable puzzler, which is as much an homage to, as it is a derivative of, PlayDead’s cult classic.ĭARQ is a 2D side-scrolling adventure that takes place in the dark grayscale world of Lloyd’s nightmare.
DARQ takes gamers into the increasingly-disturbing lucid dreams of a young boy named Lloyd, whose only desire is to wake up but instead plunges deeper and deeper into the reality-bending nightmare world.ĭARQ immediately conjures memories of the similarly-themed 2010 classic puzzler LIMBO (released 2015 on PS4) from Danish developer PlayDead ApS. New onto the PlayStation Store, is DARQ: Complete Edition – a horror-puzzler from the relatively unknow Los Angeles-based developer Unfold Games.
