Darq is a beautifully stylish, Tim Burton-esque romp through the subconscious dream-world of a young boy which manages to be spectacular even with a very short length. The minor niggles here and there are easily ignored thanks to a great tone and a great amount of polish for the first effort from an indie studio.
DARQ is a single-player horror action game with a good plot, featuring Lloyd, a boy trapped in a nightmare, where he must bend physics and manipulate the dream world to survive. The game boasts ingenious mechanics, great graphics, and a fantastic soundtrack, with a focus on psychological horror through a creepy atmosphere. Gameplay includes gravity-defying puzzles and stealth-based gameplay, as Lloyd must avoid powerful and fast enemies in his quest to wake up.
