‘KARMA: The Dark World’ Receives New “Filter Mode” to Celebrate Launch [Trailer]
With KARMA: The Dark World now out in the wild, publisher Wired Productions has revealed that the surreal sci-fi horror title has become their most successful launch in the publisher’s history. And to celebrate, developer Pollard Studio has announced a new “Filter Mode” as a free update later this month.
“Praised for its surreal storytelling, psychological tension, and invoking the works of David Lynch and Hideo Kojima, KARMA: The Dark World has resonated with audiences globally,” reads the press release from Wired Productions. “While the game has seen impressive success in China, it’s also been considered a must-play for Western players seeking a deeply immersive and narrative-driven horror experience.”
Currently, the game sports a Metacritic score of 75+ on PC, and is rated “Very Positive” on Steam.
With the upcoming Filter Mode, Pollard Studios aims to push KARMA’s immersion even further, allowing players to experience the game through new, film-inspired visual styles, including:
- Black and White Mode – Emphasizing the noir-inspired, dreamlike nature of the game’s world
- Warm Tone Mode
- Cool Tone Mode
This free update allows players to experience the game by “embracing its deep cinematic roots while maintaining full interactivity.” The update will launch later in April for free, and Wired Productions hints at more post-launch content in the future.
In addition to Steam, KARMA: The Dark World is also available on the Epic Games Store and PlayStation 5, with a release on the Xbox Series at a later date.
