The launch of DARQ: Ultimate Edition brings all these extra pieces of the game together in a single polished edition, and if you haven’t played it yet, this is the perfect time to give this mysterious, spooky story a try. And over the years, Unfold Games has created more content to enjoy, releasing two additional DLCs - The Tower and The Crypt - as well as a 60-page graphic novel, a must-read tale that answers all your burning questions about the game’s characters and ending. DARQ has solidified itself as a memorable title in the horror puzzler genre, winning many awards and captivating players with its nightmarish dream world, excellent sound design, and creative puzzles. My first experience playing DARQ was its 2019 debut, a short yet haunting three-hour experience that left me wanting more, and in 2023, I can definitely say that the game is still as fun and delightfully strange as it was then.
