For those that do not know much about DARQ yet, it profoundly borrows concepts from other games, such as 'Little Nightmares ' and 'Limbo.' If you enjoyed those games, just as much as I did, then there is no better time than now to purchase DARQ and receive the free DLC. A trailer followed not long after that you can watch here. Unfold Games released the news of the free DLC (downloadable content) for DARQ, called 'The Tower', on October 6th as an added 'Thank you' to us DARQ fans that supported the game during its release. DARQ made headlines that lead up to its launch last year after the Unfold Games turned down an Epic Games Store exclusive deal. It has now been six months since the initial release. You can read about it here in my initial game release article from September 2019. Lloyd, the protagonist, finds himself in the middle of a lucid dream called 'DARQ' that surpassed my expectations. It really is what makes this DLC nothing but an improvement to the game and a worthy extension that has me excited for what you will include next! Easily worth the re-download.In the fall of 2019, ' Unfold Games' released a 2.5D puzzle-platform based psychological horror. More unique puzzles that aren’t found nor repeated anywhere else in the game is one of the facts that stand out to me the most. Aside from the mixture of the standard puzzles, using severed heads to serenade loud enough it breaks a hole in the wall as the goal of the chapter was a crazy concept that had a crazier twist for the ending of it. The Tower chapter truly shows them letting loose on the rules of what you can and can’t do to make a puzzle happen.
This dreamscape idea of what is happening in each chapter really allows the developers to take any concept they have and work with it.
It did feel like it was just another chapter to the main game given that it starts out in the home, same as the other chapters, and you lie in bed to get started. There was really just so much packed into so little that I would, once again, say that I thoroughly enjoyed getting through it and just wish there was more. I like the introduction of electricity to the mix as this wasn’t a main component in other chapters making for yet another fresh experience. This new chapter brings us a variety of puzzles that each had their own level of difficulty and style. However, it is worth going over what this new chapter brought to the overall game and its stand-alone value.

I’m not going to go into a full breakdown of the gameplay, sounds, graphics, and such as they are all very similar to the details I listed in the main games review.
#Darq review update#
The developers stated, “This free DLC is our way of saying "Thank You" to the fans who supported us throughout the development and the turbulent yet successful launch.” This certainly shows because they even included a major update that introduces a lot of improvements and new achievements. Along with this free DLC launch, Darq is currently running a Steam sale of 50% off the main game until March 16th and has promised yet another upcoming free DLC to look forward to! Free DLC ‘ The Tower’ released for Unfold Games dark puzzle title Darq is a free new chapter for players to experience a little more of what they have to offer. What’s even better is seeing how they give back to the players for their support. It’s great to see a developer that is genuinely excited to see that their players are both enjoying the game and highly recommending it to their friends.
