It is far more interested in enticing the player into the world, its collective fever dream and trapping you there, for its short 3-4 hour run time. "Every indie studio has a unique story and has to deal with a unique set of obstacles. DARQ is the kind of puzzle game that is not interested in serving you its story on a silver platter there is no dialogue or clear story beats.
