A Psychological Thriller

Players can anticipate a holistic experience which involves detecting crime scenes, questioning suspects, and reporting back findings.

The game encourages players to juggle delicate sanity, reality, and illusions while at the same time exploring the convoluted world of suspects’ memories. The game encourages critical thinking and observational skills in its players and challenges them to find the difference between the real and surreal.

With the use of the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, KARMA: The Dark World expands the boundaries of using visuals for storytelling. This is supplemented with lifelike animations that's captured through motion-capture technology. This game sees the surreal environment built to subtlety meld into the dystopian reality.

That's not all since the game offers an eclectic mix of gameplay features and allow players to embody Daniel McGovern as they navigate a series of puzzles and investigative tools to uncover the truth. The element of mind exploration privileges emotional and psychological influences over experiences.

Making the experience even better is the original soundtrack which was created in collaboration with Dolby Atmos. With the music that's complemented by truly next-generation visuals and effects powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game promises a meticulously detailed experience that molds reality and surrealism to create an incredibly immersive environment.
