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.

It's trippy, play it not sober.
When I first saw this game, it reminded me of Observer: System Redux. It has the same atmosphere where everything is weird (like the story) and, most importantly, really good graphics. But it is very different from Observer: System Redux where both have investigation, but this game is all about solving soft puzzles, very lite gameplay which will always change at some point and some stupid puzzles that do not make sense, like some side figure puzzles that you will collect throughout the game (or maybe I just did not understand them). Along side the puzzles and the good story, it has a diverse atmosphere of soft Horror that will make you scared in some moments and an emotional story that will suddenly happen after a horror experience. I wished that they included choice matter in the game which would have made it way better. Overall, the game is amazing but it might not be for everyone. It has soft and stupid puzzles, it has a good story, it also has horror which for me is not as scary as RE7. (Based on my feelings: 7.8/10 😊)

шикарная игра, ненавижу ее
bad
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 ;(
really pretty visuals and i couldn't quite understand what's going on until the end but what kills it for me is just the gameplay I really hope devs like these stay in business but please, shoot higher for gameplay next time I don't need everything to be a shooter but at least understand that Walking Sims area also supposed to be adventure games meaning having interactivity with substance instead of long stretches of just watching through barely interactive cutscenes
KARMA: The Dark World est un jeu assez court, comptez environ 5 heures pour le terminer. Le jeu est magnifique, avec une direction artistique originale et parfois vraiment angoissante. Le gameplay est simple, avec quelques énigmes disséminées tout au long de l'aventure. Certains thèmes abordés sont violents et peuvent déranger. Controle, Traumatisme, Manipulation .. Je n'ai rencontré aucun screamer… ou alors c'est juste moi qui me suis fait peur tout seul. Une petite pépite à choper en promo. J'ai hâte de voir ce que le studio nous réserve par la suite. Si vous êtes fan de science-fiction ou d'horreur psychologique, foncez !
I loved it! I feel like it was more of a cinematic experience than a game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It takes you down so many twists and turns. Such a fascinating undertone and atmosphere. Really gets in your mind and that is part of the charm. In a sense it's like a metaphor for a fight for your consciousness in the world. I do recommend it if you enjoy these kind of experiences!
Great game. Psychedelic, orwellian, absorbing, visually beautiful and overall ambitious. It starts as a trippy walking simulator with some light-puzzles; as the story evolves and gets more clear, it starts throwing in boss fights too. Story-telling wise, it's a very ambitious game that lays down the premises for a greater story. In its best moments, it borders on hallucinogenic while managing to deliver emotionally. Story-telling wise, a few moments might result a bit vague in the way they're presented. The gameplay feels like it could have been a bit more even. It is mostly based on puzzles that are not too complex, while the boss fights are a complete change of style, pace, type and level of challenge. It works, especially cause it's overall so nice and well-done, but at times it feels a bit rough around the edges and could use a bit more balance.
Лучшее, что я когда-либо приобрела за последнее время. Игра буквально построена на метафорах. А за "Черный Вигвам" - разработчикам отдельное "спасибо". Дань уважения Девиду Линчу - засчитано. Игра буквально шедевр на анриле 5. Лучше не было и не будет!
