In that regard, DARQ is part survival horror, part adventure game, part puzzler, and even part platformer. Unfold Games, the developer behind the game, is placing a high emphasis on randomly generated levels, and dynamic environments. Level’s will be different in each play through, and enemy placement and puzzle locations will change as well, in the hopes of keeping the tension high. The team is composed of two people, brothers Wlad and Damian Marhulets. Wlad has experience as a Hollywood composer, and will provide the game’s soundtrack. Damian is the programmer on the game, and works at a multimedia company that “represents” this game. Overall, the campaign looks to be well laid out. The game is well explained, the goals and perfectly stated, and there’s a breakdown of where the money will go. Being on Indiegogo, the team has decided to opt for Flexible Funding, meaning the team will get all the money donated to the project whether it reaches it’s $20,000 goal or not. “We set our goal at $20.000, which the amount that will allow us to hire an additional programmer for the period of 5-6 months, as well as to hire voice actors who will add life to our characters. If we don’t meet our goal, the game will be finished, but the development process will take much longer than expected and we won’t be able to add voice over (which is an important part of the concept).”ĭARQ will be released on Steam in August 2016, as well as mobile if they hit their stretch goals. It’s refreshing to see a horror game that isn’t a first person survival rip-off of Slenderman, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.A few weeks ago, a gaming GIF made its way to the top of Reddit. “I rejected 12 offers from major publishers,” the title, a quick showcase of gameplay from psychological horror adventure DARQ, read.Īccording to developer Wlad Marhulets, the publishers that initially reached out were fairly blunt: accept their help, or your game will be a guaranteed failure. This story has been republished to mark DARQ’s release on Steam this week. It’s not the first time DARQ has gone semi-viral on social media.
