Super Disappointing
This game disappointed me. I thought if nothing else the art style and design would carry me through the experience- expecting it to be like Little Nightmares which I found to be simplistic in mechanics but moody and interesting in artistic design which mostly carries the experience and keeps it interesting. This game is nothing like Little Nightmares. Little Nightmares uses its design to create a world that feels lived in and unique- despite its sinister feel and menacing atmosphere. Even with no acted out story you feel like a journey is taking place. In Darq you get none of that. The artistic design is one note, and falls completely flat past it's main character. The world is uninteresting and dull, and the monsters within it feel like they could have been bought in an asset store. Just completely devoid of any interesting characteristics or menace. The game pretends it's telling a story, but it never does. Even in world there is no story here. Supposedly you are playing a character who is just having lucid dreams. There is nothing in the game that expresses this, you only know this because all the press releases and text in GOG tell you that's what is happening. Mostly what happens in game is you keep showing up to a dingy apartment and you click on the bed to go to the next "chapter" which is really a puzzle. Because that is all each "chapter" is. A single simple puzzle. The puzzles aren't very clever either. They don't teach you any mechanics in the game- you just figure out you have them- but the game is simplistic so it's fine. You just hit one button and something happens. It's very simple. The puzzles are overall very simple slider puzzles and none are noteworthy at all. Then the last 30 seconds the game pretends it had a story the whole time. It might even think it is artsy, but it's just bad. Lastly the game took 2 hours on my first try. This is a super short, bad puzzle simplistic attempt at being artsy and scary. Highly disappointing. NOT RECOMMENDED.
