About

As he navigates through a surreal dreamscape filled with macabre visuals, Lloyd must bend the laws of physics to survive and uncover the mysteries of his subconscious. The game's unique premise and haunting atmosphere set it apart, making it a noteworthy title in the indie gaming scene.

In terms of PC performance, Darq is quite accessible, making it feasible for a wide range of systems.

With just 4 GB of RAM needed, even budget builds can run Darq effectively at decent graphics settings, ensuring an enjoyable experience without the need for high-end hardware.

With an impressive rating of 79/100, Darq is a must-try for fans of atmospheric puzzle games and those looking for a unique gaming experience.

Performance profile

August 2019 release. Darq was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Extremely light — Darq runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
