Darq is a unique horror puzzle game that tells the story of Lloyd, a boy who is lucid dreaming in a surrealist nightmarish world. Lloyd has the ability to defy and manipulate physics to figure out puzzles to escape, while also creeping around and over enemies he encounters.

This game to me had a bit of a Tim Burton-esque feel, with the creepy dark atmosphere and drawing upon themes of isolation while having that surrealist feel. Regardless of Tim Burton-esque aesthetics however, Darq unfolds the story with minimal sounds, distinctive puzzles to solve alongside an excellent monochromatic design palette that is well worth your time to experience for yourself.
