KARMA: The Dark World officially launched today on PlayStation 5 and PC, pulling players into a psychological thriller that promises to blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Developed by Pollard Studio and published by Wired Productions, this first-person experience takes inspiration from visionaries like David Lynch, Hideo Kojima, and Christopher Nolan, weaving an immersive story with a deeply unsettling atmosphere.
Set in a dystopian future, players step into the role of Daniel McGovern, an elite Roam Agent tasked with diving into the memories of suspects. What starts as a routine investigation quickly spirals into something far more sinister, forcing McGovern to navigate a labyrinth of disturbing truths, hidden traumas, and mind-bending conspiracies. The deeper he digs, the more unstable his own perception of reality becomes.
Built on Unreal Engine 5, KARMA: The Dark World delivers stunning visuals, intricate environmental design, and a haunting soundtrack that amplifies its eerie tension.
The game’s mind-diving mechanic introduces a unique gameplay element where players must interpret fragmented memories, piece together cryptic clues, and confront horrifying manifestations of the subconscious. Every decision McGovern makes shapes his journey, leading to multiple potential outcomes.
For fans of psychological horror, KARMA: The Dark World offers an experience that is as gripping as it is unsettling. With its deep narrative, cinematic presentation, and chilling psychological twists, this is a journey into the mind that players won’t soon forget.
Available now on Steam, PlayStation Store, and GOG, the game is priced at $24.99 | €24.99 | £19.99, while a Deluxe Edition — including an exclusive soundtrack, digital EP, and digital artbook, can be purchased for $34.99 | €34.99 | £29.99.
Players on Xbox will have to wait a bit longer, as a release for Microsoft’s consoles is planned for a later date. You can view the launch trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments.
