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.

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.
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.
самая плохая игра которую я играла за последние годы (
Absolute cinema Absolute story Absolute characters Absolute music Absolute world building This game needs a sequel dammit!
I tried to push through, but I just couldn't. The game absolutely bored me to tears. Any thrill of uncovering the mystery was ruined by the extremely slow pacing and the failure to provide any hints as to what was going on as you went along. Thankfully, I ended within the return window.

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 ;(

An amazing, tragic, and mind-bending story.
