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.
Open Your Mind: Dive into the memories of suspects to retrace their steps and piece together your investigations, but be careful - the human mind is a dangerous place where emotions, will and desire hold power.
Discover the Truth: Keep your sanity and wits about you whilst uncovering a dark story of love, loss and deception, where nothing is as it seems and every turn brings another twist to unravel.
Next Generation Visuals: Explore a meticulously detailed world with stunning visuals and effects all powered by Unreal Engine 5.
An Unforgettable Soundtrack: A specially created soundtrack that combines orchestral scores with original songs that draw you into the cinematic world of Karma, created in collaboration with Dolby Atmos.

1.中配口型不对,但英配很好,感情充沛。 2.这个胖子心够大的,丹尼尔他爹都有这么大的仇还敢留在身边,真不怕心里又其他计划吗???(而且确实有) 3.悬念根本没有铺垫:突然冒出来的爹、突然冒出来的超能力妹妹,没有任何道理。但是让人好奇的部分又完全没有解释:为什么是磁带机?为什么能遇到这么多超现实的情况?并没有实际的解释。 4.第二章意识流段落太多了,而且故事非常的无聊:这卢卡斯都不是个人了,你保它干嘛???恋爱脑???这人爹妈也是个神人:拿高级科研所offer不让去,叫她站街?????? 5.空有其表的美术和剧情:或者说实际上没有剧情,所有故事没有一点推进,全都是“计划的一部分”(而且这个计划有机械降神的嫌疑)或者单纯的回忆。这是什么续作的预告游戏吗? 6.电视头是什么情况? 猜想一:这是特勤员工(roam)的装备。但是为什么丹尼尔不带?(镜子照不出来) 猜想二:这是幻觉的一部分,丹尼尔不记得路人的脸就拿电视头代替。但是游戏中不光没提及,并且在肖恩的章节里,有“给人带上电视头”的环节。那这个电视头到底是丹尼尔自己的一个概念,还是实际上真的存在这种东西(既然如此为什么在肖恩的幻觉里)?或者说根本就没想解释 7.1984真就套了个皮啊,全篇的思想感情就是“公司好坏好坏的”。为什么要坏?能有一点深度的地方一点儿没探讨。 8.最关键的一点:丹尼尔他爹的计划实际上是什么? 他的目标肯定是让lisa的能力解放并且把这件事瞒过去——为此丹尼尔是必须要死的(设定总之是这样的)。那为什么不直接给丹尼尔一刀?(但是这一点可以用下不去手来解释)。为什么要让已经被洗脑了的丹尼尔想起来lisa?为什么要给自己一刀?(为什么病毒启动要自己死?)这个剧情几乎完全没有解释,全靠自己猜。
Es corto pero inmersivo, los escenarios y la banda sonora están muy logrados! Cuenta una historia muy buena, profunda y original. Logra mantener un buen suspense en ciertas partes del juego. Lo recomiendo!
Das Spiel ist kein AAA Titel. Und das muss es auch nicht sein. Es ist ein bisl sperrig an manchen Stellen. Aber es gibt definitiv Gänsehautmomente (vor Grusel). Was ich an dem Spiel aber sehr schätze ist die mittlerweile selten gewordene Kreativität! Die Story ist ebenfalls sehr gut und Kenner des Romans 1984 von George Orwell werden einige AHA Momente haben!
годнота
[h2]Большой брат следит за тобой[/h2] Интересный инди-проект с глубоким посылом. Геймплей представляет из себя симулятор ходьбы с головоломками. Экшона тут нет, но есть элементы хоррора. Они как по мне вообще тут не нужны, потому полноценным хоррором я эту игру не назову. Скорее психологический триллер про память. Также авторы сильно вдохновлялись произведениями антиутопиями 1984, Дивный новый мир и тд, что огромный плюс и выделяет игру среди масс инди. Рекомендую, но мне игра лично ничем не запомнится. Скучные персонажи, запутанный сюжет, но крутые декорации мира.
这纯粹就是艺术,伟大的艺术
beautiful game sobbed my eyes out
Conforme empiezas el juego no entiendes bien quién eres ni como has llegado allí y te meten en una maquina que controla tu mente y de repente manejas a Daniel un investigador de una corporación controlada por MADRE para que la gente solo trabaje y trabaje. Vas descubriendo las historias de personajes clave en la trama, el monstruo y sobretodo la verdad detrás de tu personaje. Con una escena post créditos que me ha hecho llorar bastante. Si podéis dadle una oportunidad, que además a nivel gráfico y de música es precioso.
