Critic Reviews for Darq
Darq has some frustrating stealth encounters and an overabundance of jump scares, but those small blunders aren't enough to take away from the sense of wonder that comes from helping Lloyd navigate his nightmares.
Darq is an intelligent puzzle game with a delightfully dreary setting that is over far quicker than you want it to be.
DARQ manages to bring a breath of fresh air without ever going to far.

DARQ Ultimate Edition is a fantastic game and a lot of fun, but unfortunately it doesn't last as long as players would like. It will be awesome for a sequel to happen, but as long as the game doesn't repeat the current failures.

The game offers players some decidedly remarkable moments during the three hours required for completion

Darq is a beautifully stylish, Tim Burton-esque romp through the subconscious dream-world of a young boy which manages to be spectacular even with a very short length. The minor niggles here and there are easily ignored thanks to a great tone and a great amount of polish for the first effort from an indie studio.
DARQ certainly doesn't overstay its welcome, presenting a short and concise experience. But when is short too short?
While there are moments where the spookiness clicks, like its hectic climax, the rest is forgettable. It will give a fright once in a while, but that shock quickly disappears.
