Hello fellow horror fans!

I want to tell you about the game I've been developing for the past half a year. The game got greenlit as one of the 10 most up-voted games and got featured in over 50 major magazines. DARQ is based on a pretty unique concept, I'd encourage you to see the trailer:

DARQ tells the story of Lloyd, a boy who becomes aware of the fact that he is dreaming. To Lloyd's misfortune, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare and all attempts to wake up end in failure. 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.
In DARQ, sound plays a very important role. There are sections of the game that take place in absolute darkness and in order to navigate the environment, Lloyd has to rely on the location of sounds.

Here's some concept art to give you an idea of what's coming :)

Wow, it looks amazing. I like the visual design and the atmosphere. Such games are rare nowadays. Good luck with it!
By the way, did you made those concept arts all by yourself?
