This isn’t a combat focused game at all, so anytime you see something that looks dangerous, it is. Some puzzles in this level require you quickly go back and forth between the camera angles to either see something, do tasks, or grab a key item.ĭarq also on the occasion has stealth sections.

DARQ is more about building tension and anticipation in between jump scares. However, this isn't a game that is all about jump scares. Jump scares in DARQ serve one purpose: they help establish that in a dream world anything can happen at any time. Instead, he has to rely on careful planning to avoid getting detected. He has no chance of winning in an open confrontation, since the creatures he will encounter are much more powerful and faster than him.
