KARMA: The Dark World is a pretty weird game, especially when it comes to the story and how it mixes memories. Sometimes it's hard to understand what's going on. It's not a game for everyone, but if you like strange psychological games with a strong atmosphere and great visuals, it's worth trying.
Extremely emotional game. Loved it from start to finish. I cried at the end. Very good Indie game that feels like a AAA experience. The music is also very moving and emotional. I finished the game in literally one 7 hr playthrough. The game ran great except i did have 2 unreal engine crashes. I highly recommend anybody who loves a deep emotional and psychological story to play this game. It is definitely one that I will be thinking about long after finishing the game. Highly recommend.

самая плохая игра которую я играла за последние годы (
Okay hear me out. As someone who absolutely hate horror games this game is fantastic. It's not too hard in terms of gameplay, in fact it is rather relaxing (i know, relaxing in a horror game is definetely a choice). Story is fantastic in my opinion but i get when some people say they don't like it. The atmosphere is great as well, images and the soundtrack (omg). It got a good scare out of me here and there but nothing that made my scaredy cat booty wanna alt+f4 immediately. Give it a try, trust me. It's a hella good experience
其实根本不是恐怖游戏，前期场景还涉及心理恐怖，但恐怖氛围不足。后面都开始讲爱情故事了，整体体验更偏向步行模拟器。 但是视觉奇观部分非常牛逼，属于是关关不重样，一直有新鲜感，这部分非常爽 整个游戏感觉是制作组做嗨了，讲着讲着突然开始讲爱情故事属实让我没绷住，爱情故事部分的关卡设计的还挺好的。感觉上这个制作组做的是非常开心的，真好啊 谜题设计感觉非常非常的对脑电波，好几个谜题我都不敢相信我是怎么突然天人感应就给解出来的，完全没有道理 最后最奇怪的地方就是这个国产游戏，文本竟然是先做的英文，甚至中文文本都是从英文汉化过来的，能感受到中配质量非常的差，而且还有汉化出现的校对错误 整体来说是个非常优秀的“恐怖”游戏
支持国产！支持国产！ 是一款视觉风格很棒的步行模拟类恐怖游戏 主角是白毛嘿嘿，中国人均白毛控嘿嘿.... 冷战时期东欧国家为背景就是有一阵寂寥冰冷肃穆的感觉啊，而且这个背景之下搞出什么高科技都不会奇怪的（x） 游戏性不特别强，基本就是走路-解密-看剧情，但是场景设计特别特别好，剧情也写的不错，老丹家满门忠烈 说真的想不到竟然是国产恐怖游戏，希望这种佳作以后摩多摩多
Очередной симулятор ходьбы, авторы которой решили изъeбнуться в написании сюжета. Если сценарист напишет приземлённый и понятный сюжет, у него жепа отвалится. Обязательно нужно навалить жидкую фантазию со случайными абстрактными образами, строить текст из стереотипных и бессвязных фраз, чтобы сюжет казался более драматичным и умным. Ну, так как я тупое быдло, мне такой подход не понять. Ах да, шаблонные пугашки-какaшки уже не впечатляют, переделывайте.
Nope. I can't recommend this Karma. Positives: - Some nice environment visuals. - First-person perspective - Interesting concept (I guess) Negatives: - Horrendous controls. - ‘Run’ is laughably slow. - Doors. The many, many doors are a pain in the a$$ to open with a mouse. - Panting. Almost constant, panting and whimpering. - Cutscenes that drag on and on (but are thankfully skippable) - Super-slow animations. - Often too edgy for it's own good. The surreal dreamscapes get old fast. - Boss fights just clash with the vibe.
It is very very short. Begining was strong. Atmosphere was gread at the begining. But from part 2 it became lame. Ending was bad. I'm not happy about the story. Voices are terrible - while subjects were speaking I was imagining how actors are recording the sound. It sould not be like this. All in all it is average game. You can try it, but do not expect anything good - just average game.
в попытках показать свою насмотренность путем множества литературных и кинематографичных отсылок, разработчики упустили возможность допилить нарративную составляющую — и на выходе мы получили хаотичную кашу преимущественно советую поиграть ради визуала и вполне неплохой истории (которая, видимо, однажды получит сиквел)
