![]() Grab the health potion off of the side, then head up the path back on yourself. A mummy will burst out and attack on your left, kill it and grab some gold.Ĭontinue forwards through the arch and grab the chest on your left. Don’t worry about the gate you see next to it just now, we’ll come back for it later. Once you’re in the camp clearing, bear right and hold R2 to activate the gate lock. When that’s done, head left, over towards the middle of the clearing. On your right, you’ll see three blue glowing orbs - shoot them and it’ll open the door in front of you. Turn around and look behind you, here you’ll see a puzzle door with runes above it. ![]() What you need to do is hold R2 to activate the puzzle, then shoot the runes on the door in the same order as they appear above it. So in the example below, you need to shoot the person with the bird once, the symbol that looks like an eye once, then the fish three times, then the eye symbol again. This leads to the gated off room you saw before where you can grab a Relic. DARQ gets two thumbs up from me and I’d advise anyone to play it.ĭARQ: COMPLETE EDITION, developed by Unfold Games and published by Feardemic, is available now on consoles and Steam.Head back into the central area, left, then up the hill. While the ending is a tad confusing and doesn’t really offer a whole lot of catharsis in terms of wrapping the story up in a nice bow, when you’re dealing with a game about navigating a young boy’s subconscious, there aren’t a whole lot of rules to follow. Sometimes it is easy to miss a wall or a pivot point, but I adore DARQ’s mapping system.ĭARQ: COMPLETE EDITION is a great addition to anyone’s horror game collection and a great way to kill an hour or two. The game moves you vertically or horizontally to different areas, which is an ingenious way to make a small map feel a hell of a lot bigger. Most walls or ledges won’t mark the end of the map but a pivot point that turns the map 90 or 180 degrees, opening areas that weren’t available before. The mapping system is small, but DARQ makes use of every square inch of its available space by bending the laws of gravity.

Keep in mind, the entire game is only about an hour long (add an additional half-hour for the DLC) and the puzzles aren’t very difficult. While the story is simple and the graphics are creepy and beautiful, the real star of the show is the gameplay. The character design in this game reminds me of the Figaro Pho cartoon with big, bulbous heads and bean pole bodies. While the Tower is pretty similar to the other gameplay, The Crypt takes DARQ to a whole new level of creepy. What makes this edition different from its original release is the inclusion of The Tower and The Crypt DLC levels. One of my favorites is a human body sitting in a wheelchair with the face of a tuba which can only move by the force of its blows. Many of the bizarre monsters remind me of something out of the 2005 film MirrorMask, and all of them are terrifying but beautiful. Through each location, you have to find the way back to his consciousness and not get caught by the disturbing creatures that roam and stalk the darkest recesses of his mind. You visit places like a hospital, a suburban street, a theater, and a moving train. ![]() Each dream takes you to a new and wondrous monochromatic location where you must solve intricate puzzles to help Lloyd back to consciousness. Each chapter unfolds as he lies in bed and begins to lucid dream. It follows a Tim Burton extra by the name of Lloyd.
