For a puzzle game I fully expected to become stumped, resorting to having to look up a walkthrough on YouTube, but that never happened. In this dream world Lloyd needs to figure out how to escape by solving numerous puzzles and finding the exit. Good dreams don’t happen here though, as Lloyd is seemingly tormented by something in his subconscious, so each dream (level) becomes creepier with each sleep. When Lloyd is awake, he instantly becomes sleepy, and as soon you rest your head on that pillow he has an almost outer body-like experience as he sinks into a dark dream world. Instead, you play as Lloyd, going through his dreams that quickly turn into nightmares. While there is a narrative, it’s not told in your traditional manner. While DARQ originally released back in December 2020, the latest DARQ: Complete Edition recently came out, boasting not only upgraded Xbox Series X|S visuals, but all the DLC as well. It’s obvious that those classic games were the inspiration for DARQ, but they’ve put their own flair into the mix, creating a short but unique experience that looks like it’s a creation of Tim Burton. If you’re a fan of Little Nightmares, Limbo or Inside, then you’re going to instantly become intrigued by what developers Unfold Games have created with DARQ. It’s no secret that developers borrow from one another, be it under the guise of ‘inspiration’ or not, but the ones that are able to take a known style but make it their own are usually the ones that are more memorable. ![]()
