DARQ: Complete Edition is a surreal psychological horror puzzle-platformer developed and published by Unfold Games. Set in a chilling lucid nightmare, the game follows Lloyd, a young boy who becomes aware that he is dreaming and desperately tries to wake himself up. However, his dream morphs into a haunting labyrinth of eerie environments, strange creatures, and impossible physics. As Lloyd, you’ll explore dark corridors, solve gravity-bending puzzles, and evade terrifying foes that you can’t fight directly — relying instead on stealth and clever use of the environment.
The game’s monochromatic, gothic art style creates a haunting atmosphere, supported by atmospheric sound design from composer Bjørn Jacobsen, known for his work on Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman. The Complete Edition includes the base game plus all launched DLC — The Tower and The Crypt — expanding the nightmare with new challenges and twists on the dream logic. DARQ: Complete Edition is praised for its inventive level design, atmospheric tension, and the way it subverts platforming conventions by allowing players to walk on walls, rotate rooms, and manipulate reality itself.
