The odd creatures that you encounter will have you scowling with disbelief and fear as you question how you should overcome their presence. The world around you is a twisted place that will have you looking over your shoulder repeatedly. The use of shadow and low light created an ominous atmosphere that was difficult to stomach. Nothing says oppressive and tense better than a monochromatic palette. What could be in here? DARQ: Complete Edition is a monochromatic and tense title. As long as you are thorough in your approach, you should alleviate this issue. Most of the time progress is only hindered by one minor hiccup, and this can make for a frustrating and unappealing time. With no hint option, or any sign of where you have gone wrong, it can leave you trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. The hardest part of this title has to be the ease with which you can miss one small item or clue. Though the one that requires quick thinking is absolutely terrifying, and I wish the developers had made more of this scare tactic than any of the others they incorporated. The tests that you must overcome don’t require too much effort, and all, bar one has no time pressure attached. However, for its innovative approach, it still relied heavily on standard puzzle mechanics. As you alter the world around you, new pathways open, and you must explore these to gather items, find clues, or solve further challenges. It was an interesting and fresh take on what is considered a well trodden genre. The core mechanic requires the player to flip the world around by pushing buttons, clambering walls, and using levers to move in set directions. I enjoyed the unusual and unique approach that Unfold Games had taken with their puzzles. A unique style of puzzle, but familiar mechanics. It’s bizarre, surreal, and I want to know what has caused Lloyd to have such a disturbed mind. The weird obsession with mutilation doesn’t stop there! Severed heads, hands and legs, all form key objects to solve the many puzzles that you’ll face. These are but some of the nasty sights you will see, and each one will stick with you long after you switch your console off.
The worrying thing is, you don’t know who fears you, and who you should fear.īandaged zombies, a blindfolded woman in a wheelchair, and a body with a brass horn for a head await you in the depths of Lloyd’s mind. Mutated people scamper around each chapter, and some will interact with you, others won’t. No, it plays with tension, pace, and sound to make you feel uneasy at all times. It doesn’t use traditional horror tactics of blood and gore. It’s rare that a game makes me shudder with discomfort, but DARQ: Complete Edition successfully brought me out in a cold sweat. Locked in this imaginary world, he soon learns that he must bend the laws of physics to wake up from his sleeping prison.
