About this game
"There’s no way out when the monsters are within"
The scars of the past are tearing open, bringing forth disturbing manifestations that will prey on your sanity until they consume you in Darko, a short psychological horror game developed by Psicostudios. Step into the role of Alex, a young man trapped in his own mind as a psychotic episode unfolds inside his home.
STORY
After waking from a heavy nap, Alex panics when he realizes he forgot to take his schizophrenia medication. As he searches the house for his pills, terrifying visions from his past materialize, pursuing him relentlessly. If they catch him, it’s over. To survive, Alex must recover his medication and uncover the haunting truth behind his memories.
FEATURES
Survival-focused gameplay: you cannot fight back, only evade and stay calm.
Distinctive retro-inspired 3D visuals with an unsettling, abstract atmosphere.
Search the house for medication while piecing together fragments of Alex’s troubled past.
Unscripted scares: the monsters that hunt you can appear at any moment, creating truly unpredictable horror.
