‘DARQ’ Preps for E3 with New Teaser Trailer
It’s been a long time since we talked about Unfold Games’ psychological side-scroller DARQ. Two years, actually. Despite not meeting its goal in its Indiegogo camp, DARQ has forged ahead. So far, in fact, that Unfold Games have released a new teaser for the game. They’ll also be at E3 this year, so if you’re one of the lucky folks who gets to go, do check it out.
For a refresher, DARQ puts you in the shoes of Lloyd, a boy who becomes aware of the fact that he is dreaming. Unfortunately, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare for him, and all his attempts to wake up fail. While exploring the darkest corners of his subconscious, Lloyd learns how to survive the nightmare by “bending the laws of physics and manipulating the fluid fabric of the dream world”.
The big gameplay component is the fantastical physics, where you’ll end up doing things such as walking on walls and ceilings or levitating to solve puzzles, as well as manipulating the dream world by moving objects or rotating rooms. You will face enemies, but seeing as they’re so much stronger and faster than Lloyd, stealth and avoidance is paramount.
Head over to the official site to check out new screenshots and videos, too! DARQ is slated for release fourth quarter of this year for PC, with a potential console release in the future.
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
