A PORT THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OFĭARQ plays very well on the Nintendo Switch even in handheld mode.

The beautiful soundscape is by Bjørn Jacobsen, known for his work on such games as Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman.

It’s an eerie environment that is juxtaposed by no dialogue to read or hear. The presentation is a beautiful balance of light versus shadows mixed in with greys. Some of the characters in Lloyd’s dreams have a very macabre feel to them. DARQ‘s artwork and animation have a very white and grey, noir-ish style to them.

He has no chance of winning in an open confrontation, since the creatures he will encounter are much more powerful and faster than him. WALL WALK, STEALTH, PUZZLESĪpart from gravity-defying puzzles, Lloyd will have to use stealth when nearby enemies. While exploring the darkest corners of his subconscious, Lloyd learns how to survive the nightmare by bending the laws of physics and manipulating the fluid fabric of the dream world. To Lloyd's misfortune, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare and all attempts to wake up end in failure. DARQ tells the story of Lloyd, a boy who becomes aware of the fact that he is dreaming.
