Developer Pollard Studio and publisher Wired Productions are currently working on a psychological horror game titled KARMA: The Dark World. While there's no release date yet, players should be happy to know that a demo is now available on Steam.

The demo gives everyone a solid preview of what the full game has to offer. In the game, players get to take on the role Daniel McGovern, an agent who's working for Leviathan Corp’s Thought Bureau. He's been assigned to do a mind dive into the psyche of a suspect and unravel their deepest and darkest secrets. However, what initially starts as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a web of lies, manipulation, and personal crisis. It has forced Daniel to question not only the case but even his own reality.

A New Experience

The demo offers players a tense and first-person psychological experience. As they play the demo, players are sure to see the influences from iconic works like David Lynch's Twin Peaks along with game design legends like Hideo Kojima. Get ready to explore the haunting environments, confront the deepest fears, and be immersed in a story that blends horror with personal introspection.
