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.

9/10 Walking Sim, yes It's a Walking Sim, Psychological Horror, Noir, with lots of Philosophical Discussion. How do I explain everything I love about this game? There's too much good to talk about, the music is amazing, the whole plot feels like it matters, and the gameplay is fun. The entire Shaun Mehndez plot is about people who are victim to the surveillance state, the Rachel plot is about people who are victim to their own family and use work as a way out, and finally the whole game is wrapped up by explaining it all. It takes a lot of inspiration from varied media, it starts off with the mirror thing from Silent Hill 2, mixed with Prey 2017. Then it starts to be more surreal like Scorn and other walking sim games. Daniel McGovern is numbered just like the people in THX-1138, and you have a whole family plot that winds up exactly like Evangelion. I really like this game, a great story was told and was well worth the time.
