Sound design by Bjørn Jacobsen, known for his work on such games as Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman. Unique artstyle and detailed environment to explore. Psychological horror set in a lucid dream, relying on slow build and creepy atmosphere rather than gore and violence. Small touches like the way text, symbols, and clocks work in this game are very reminiscent of actual dreams. The puzzles were pretty good, and the mechanics were interesting, but where this game really shines is in ambiance. It took us 1.8 hours to get through it with about half the achievements. To manage your expectations: this game is quite short. Instead, he has to rely on careful planning to avoid getting detected. He has no chance of winning in an open confrontation, since the creatures he will encounter are much more powerful and faster than him. WALL WALK, STEALTH, PUZZLES: Apart from gravity-defying puzzles, Lloyd will have to use stealth when nearby enemies. While exploring the darkest corners of his subconscious, Lloyd learns how to survive the nightmare by bending the laws of physics and manipulating the fluid fabric of the dream world.
To Lloyd’s misfortune, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare and all attempts to wake up end in failure. HELP LLOYD WAKE UP!: DARQ tells the story of Lloyd, a boy who becomes aware of the fact that he is dreaming.
The mechanics are manageable enough to get and are presented in a manner that supports navigate the game completely. Somewhat implicative of famous Inside or Limbo! DARQ is an Action and Adventure and for PC published by Unfold Games in 2019.
