Pollard Studio and Wired Productions have a very interesting game in the works, but the year it’s set in is starting to feel a bit cliché.
Karma: The Dark World is a first-person cinematic psychological thriller set in a dystopian world where the Leviathan Corporation is omnipresent. The year is 1984, the place is East Germany, and things are not quite what they seem. Explore an alternate timeline where the Leviathan Corporation rules with an iron fist, controlling its citizens through mass surveillance, social class rules, mind-altering drugs, and the promise that the gates to utopia will open for those who serve.
You are Daniel McGovern, a roaming agent for Leviathan’s Thought Bureau. Using advanced technology to enter the minds of the accused, you will investigate crime scenes, interview suspects, and report your findings back to Leviathan. Explore the twisted environments of suspects’ memories and the horrors that lurk in the corners of their minds. Test your sanity as the lines between reality and the surreal blur – can you trust what you see and maintain your sense of self?
Immerse yourself in a cinematic, interactive story that explores themes of family, love, loss, and control as a simple investigation leads to a world of espionage and betrayal filled with deep and dark secrets. Karma: The Dark World utilizes the most advanced Unreal Engine 5 features, including Lumen and Nanite, which push the visual boundaries of storytelling – combining meticulously detailed visuals of a dystopian reality, high-quality motion-capture acting, and mind-bending surreal environments to create a uniquely immersive experience.
