KARMA: The Dark World Demo Out Now on PC And PS5

Award-winning publisher Wired Productions and indie dev company Pollard Studio announced on March 17, 2025 that their upcoming psychological horror game KARMA: The Dark World will be released on March 27 on PC and PS5 while a free demo is currently available.
The Dark World refers to the minds and memories of characters players will encounter in the game. As ROAM Agent Daniel McGovern investigates citizens of treachery, he will come face to face with twisted environments and monstrous manifestations.
Inspired by the works of visionary creators such as David Lynch (Twin Peaks), Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding), and Christopher Nolan (Inception, Interstellar), KARMA: The Dark World pushes the boundaries of immersive storytelling.

The game takes place in an alternate timeline where post-war Germany has fallen into a dystopian state, ruled over by the Leviathan Corporation using mass surveillance and mind bending technology.
“What begins as another routine investigation soon unravels into a dark conspiracy that challenges everything he believes. As McGovern navigates the minds of those he pursues, he must confront disturbing truths and question his own reality,” a press release said.
The Dark World will be released on Xbox later in 2025 with the announcement expected in the coming months.
