Publisher Feardemic and Finnish game development studio Dreamloop Games has announced DARQ Complete Edition for Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X.
The game is an award-winning and critically acclaimed, surrealist, puzzle-platformer will be released as a complete edition with the core game along with any post-release DLC available. Development is currently underway and no release timetable has been specified.
DARQ tells the story of Lloyd, a boy who becomes aware of the fact that he is dreaming; a dream that quickly turns into a nightmare where all attempts to wake up end in failure. While exploring the darkest corners of his subconscious, Lloyd learns how to survive the nightmare by bending the laws of physics and manipulating the fluid fabric of the dream world.
Teemu Norvasto, the company’s Art Director, said:
“There’s a pretty amazing amount of detail put into the environments of the game – it makes the allure of the dark and surreal even stronger for us. We have quite a few horror game enthusiasts in the company, myself included, so it has been very exciting to get to work with these kinds of projects, […] As horror game enthusiasts ourselves, we have a great deal of respect for what Unfold Games has done with DARQ and want to bring that eerie magic faithfully to consoles. We’re working closely with Unfold Games to ensure we do so.”
