Karma: The Dark World (PS5)

Overview

Karma: The Dark World is a first-person cinematic psychological thriller for PlayStation 5, published by Wired Productions Limited. Set in an alternate 1984 East Germany, the game plunges you into a world dominated by the all-seeing Leviathan Corporation — a regime that maintains its grip on society through mass surveillance, rigid social hierarchies, mind-altering drugs, and the hollow promise of a utopian future. Power, paranoia, and identity are at the heart of this deeply immersive interactive story, where the line between reality and illusion is constantly shifting beneath your feet.

Become a Nightcrawler

You play as Daniel McGovern, a Roam Agent working for Leviathan's Thought Bureau. Armed with cutting-edge technology, you are tasked with literally diving into the minds of the accused — navigating their memories, investigating crime scenes from the inside out, and interrogating suspects to piece together the truth. What begins as a routine investigation spirals into a labyrinth of espionage, betrayal, and dark secrets that challenge everything you thought you knew about the world — and yourself.
