Even though it's a 2D puzzle game, Darq kept me thinking about all 6 sides of the room I was in. the puzzles are complex and unique without being repetitive, and even when I felt stuck, I just had to think a little outside the box and the answer was right in front of me the whole time. - At first IIf you're in the mood for a dark (pun intended) puzzle game, this is the game for you.

    If Silent Hill and M.C. Escher had a baby. A unique, dark art style with some very nice atmospheric sound design. It feels similar to a few other puzzlers, but it adds its own unique twist. A lot of fun.

    Very fun game. The way you have to move entire rooms as part of the puzzle was unique and clever. The artwork was creepy and beautiful.
    Overall. Great game

    DARQ: Ultimate Edition stands out with great visual and audio design, immersing you within its nightmarish dream world without needing to say a single word. Your time playing as Lloyd, while short, will be a memorable one full of clever puzzles, strange enemies, and physics-bending mechanics.

    An atmospheric puzzle game with very interesting graphics and well designed, fairly unique puzzles. The Ultimate Edition comes with two extra levels and a 61-page comic that sheds light into the game's story.

    This game is absolutely a surprise this year! It combines puzzling elements with horror and the atmosphere is getting more and more dark. It's a short title but definitely fun to play.
