Fans of dystopian thrillers and psychological horror have something special to look forward to in Karma: The Dark World, an upcoming first-person cinematic experience from Pollard Studio, Gamera Games, and Wired Productions.
Set in an alternate 1984 East Germany under the iron grip of the Leviathan Corporation, the game throws players into a nightmarish world of mass surveillance, mind-altering drugs, and government control.
A Dystopian Mystery Where Reality is Unstable
In Karma: The Dark World, players take on the role of Daniel McGovern, a Roam Agent working for Leviathan’s Thought Bureau. Tasked with investigating crimes against the regime, McGovern doesn’t just rely on traditional detective work — he has the ability to enter the minds of the accused, exploring their memories and subconscious to uncover hidden truths.
But the mind is a dangerous place, and as McGovern digs deeper, the distinction between reality and illusion begins to blur. With every new discovery, the mystery expands, leading to shocking revelations about Leviathan, the Thought Bureau, and the nature of control itself.
A Cinematic Experience With Next-Gen Visuals & Sound
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Karma: The Dark World promises a stunningly immersive world filled with intricate details and haunting environments. The game’s psychological horror elements will be heightened by its unique visual style, where dreamlike sequences and reality-bending imagery make every moment unpredictable.
Complementing the eerie atmosphere is a Dolby Atmos-backed soundtrack that blends orchestral compositions with original songs, designed to pull players even further into the game’s unsettling world.
Unravel a Dark Story of Love, Loss, and Betrayal
Beyond its dystopian premise, Karma: The Dark World tells a deeply personal story about love, loss, and the sacrifices people make under oppressive regimes. As McGovern pieces together the clues from his investigations, he’ll be forced to question not only the people around him but also his own memories and sense of identity. With espionage, betrayal, and psychological torment at its core, the game promises a story filled with unexpected twists and existential dread.
For those eager to experience Karma: The Dark World, the game is now available to wishlist on Steam. With its compelling narrative, cutting-edge visuals, and mind-bending mechanics, this is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing psychological thrillers of the year.
Karma: The Dark World is set to launch on March 27th, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 5 and PC.
