KARMA: The Dark World is a pretty weird game, especially when it comes to the story and how it mixes memories. Sometimes it's hard to understand what's going on. It's not a game for everyone, but if you like strange psychological games with a strong atmosphere and great visuals, it's worth trying.

It is very very short. Begining was strong. Atmosphere was gread at the begining. But from part 2 it became lame. Ending was bad. I'm not happy about the story. Voices are terrible - while subjects were speaking I was imagining how actors are recording the sound. It sould not be like this. All in all it is average game. You can try it, but do not expect anything good - just average game.

really pretty visuals and i couldn't quite understand what's going on until the end but what kills it for me is just the gameplay I really hope devs like these stay in business but please, shoot higher for gameplay next time I don't need everything to be a shooter but at least understand that Walking Sims area also supposed to be adventure games meaning having interactivity with substance instead of long stretches of just watching through barely interactive cutscenes
