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.

Confusing mess of a story, little to no gameplay, mediocre voice acting. I don't understand games like this.
This game is a fever dream.
Wie ich finde ein wirklich gutes Game. Für mich zum Teil etwas verwirrend, wegen der Sprünge zwischen den Timelines. Besonders gefällt mir auch die musikalische Untermauerung der Stimmungen im Game. Für mich ein Game das sich lohnt, ich kann es nur empfehlen, wer solche Games mag kommt meiner Meinung nach hier auf seine Kosten.
Я не владею красивым слогом, поэтому заранее простите меня за ошибки и воду, если будете читать этот отзыв. Хочу подчеркнуть, что игра меня заинтересовала с первых же кадров и я незамедлительно её купила, и добавила в свою библиотеку. И знаете что? Игра меня ничуть не разочаровала. Восхитительная графика, саундтреки и сюжет, который понятен не сразу, и возможно даже будет не понятен в самом конце, т.к KARMA: The Dark World имеет сложный мир и конструкцию, и довольно запутанную историю, где каждый является звеном и пешкой одновременно. Но когда вы поймёте сюжет, для вас откроется довольно печальная картина, где не будет проигравших или победителей. Будет лишь жестокая, но жизненная история. Хотя я считаю концовку счастливой, даже со всеми её вытекающими - семья воссоединилась, Даниэль, хоть и мёртвый, запер своё подсознание, избавившись от своего физического тела, и может навсегда быть с сестрой, там, где остановилось время и пространство. Они вернулись домой, в убежище, где больше никто их не потревожит. Очень жду вторую часть, если она будет.
게임을 했다기보단 영화 한 편을 봤다고 표현하는 게 맞는 것 같습니다. 세계관이 상당히 매력적이고 연출 영상미 성우연기 그래픽 등 호평할 부분이 많아요. 게임의 초반~중반부까진 상당한 몰입감을 갖고 플레이할 수 있습니다만 스토리 텔링 방식이 게임하는 내내 과거와 현재, 환상을 계속해서 왔다갔다하는 방식이라 중후반부부턴 스토리가 다소 난해하게 느껴질 수 있다는 단점이 있습니다. 그럼에도 한번쯤 해볼만한 게임입니다. 추천합니다.
I'm sad this doesn't have a ton of reviews! It really deserves more attention! Not a long game, but the details were amazing! Very much worth your time if you like trippy horror games.
Шедевр, который бьет прямо в сердце. Karma: The Dark World — это не просто психологический хоррор, это глубокое, мрачное и невероятно красивое погружение в человеческую душу. Меня до глубины души тронула трагическая и сильная история Рэйчел и Лукаса. В мире, где корпорации могут переписать твою память и забрать личность, они смогли сохранить нечто настоящее. Когда я получил достижение «Любовь», у меня буквально мурашки побежали по коже. Отдельно хочу выделить музыкальное сопровождение в этом моменте — оно просто богоподобно. Музыка идеально передает всю боль, надежду и глубину их связи. Игра держит в напряжении своим сюжетом, мистикой и атмосферой, но именно эта эмоциональная линия делает её незабываемой. 10/10.
шикарная игра, ненавижу ее
O jogo é linear focado em história e resolução de puzzles, mas é mais focado na narrativa e na imersão do ambiente. Idealmente jogar em ambiente escuro e com fones de ouvido. Eu admito que, o começo me cativou muito, o ''meio'' me manteve interessado mas o final me broxou um pouco, tentaram deixar a história complexa demais sem necessidade e adicionar muitos elementos de uma vez, falta de organização na minha opinião. Pra botar tudo que eles queriam, o jogo precisava ter no mínimo 10 horas, mas ele tem apenas umas 5/6... Me lembrou um pouco outro jogo chamado "In Sound Mind" que pra mim é o melhor do gênero terror/puzzle. Mas Karma tem seu valor também, a história dele no começo e no meio é muito bem trabalhada e curiosa, a gameplay é divertida, tem puzzle bom e puzzle ruim, mas no geral o arrependimento de ter jogado não bateu nem um pouco!
