Publisher Wired Productions and developer Pollard Studio have released a demo for psychological horror game KARMA: The Dark World for PlayStation 5 via PlayStation Store and PC via Steam, the companies announced.
Here is an overview of the demo, via its store pages:
About the Demo
Do you think that the glimpse of a memory is the absolute truth?
This is the demo for Karma: The Dark World, showing you the first hour of the game which consists of a prologue introducing you to Daniel and his Dark World—before tasking you with investigating the strange events at the Winston institute and to experience them first hand in a brain dive.
“Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.”
About the Game
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 set in 1984 East Germany; 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 to those who serve.
