How do you find a sound in a 2D game?! Sounds like a fun problem for the developers to solve. Furthermore, it would make the puzzle-solving more difficult. Secondly, it would play nicely with the gravity aspects of the game (sounds in the ceilings). It would first introduce those musical elements. If they extend this game further, I think it’d be fun to have puzzles that are sound-based, like the item you’re trying to find to leave a level is a record player. Again, it’s not bad, it just seems like a missed opportunity. Something a bit more dynamic and fleshed out. I’d love to hear some orchestral strings get higher and higher and higher as things get scarier. Nevertheless, the soundtrack could really lean into this. There’s a bit of tension building in the audio as well. (Before you say anything, I know Limbo was about the same, but Darq is indoors.) There’s unfortunately not much to say on the matter, you can hear the character stepping and interacting with the environment. That’s not to say that there is any, and it’s probably intentional, but it’s a bit bothersome. Other than looks, Darq is a bit empty on the audio. This game is great, but maybe not to Limbo’s standards. I personally love Limbo, every time it’s released on something, I play it. It’s black and white with silhouettes and a fogginess to the levels. It might just look like another game that you’ve played. So, if you have already watched the trailer or seen the pictures around on this page, you’ll already know the vibe of this game. Puzzles that involve bending the laws of physics (walking on walls and ceilings), manipulating the environment, collecting and using found objects, sometimes in abstract and dream-like ways.Sound design by Bjørn Jacobsen, known for his work on such games as Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman.
