Hello everyone, I am Yonghe Wang – Creative Director at Pollard Studios and today I am very happy to announce on behalf of my team and our publisher produced Wired that Karma: The Dark World will be launched on Playstation 5 on March 27. This game will also support the increase in PS5 Pro.

To celebrate, we think we will share details about how the team utilizes the PS5 Pro feature to improve visuals and game performance – and to share the second in the trailer trilogy – display some surreal environment and characters in the game indicating their relationship with you – players. Please enjoy!

What is karma: the dark world?

Karma: The Dark World is the first people’s cinematic psychological thriller that took place in the alternative timeline of the future cassette set after World War II. In our game, a company known as Leviathan gained an unexpected technology that allows them to seize East Germany under their control, install a regime that oppresses citizens and places productivity and compliance as a gospel.

They achieve this through a variety of means, from mass surveillance and mind-altering substances, to their secret organization of nightcrawlers, special roam agents who have the authority to investigative crime scenes and arrest citizens for interrogation and for mind divers-a special Technology that allows them to dive into the memories of their subjects, and inhabit their memories, live and interact with events in their memories when they are looking for the truth – dealing with the horror of the past people and interpretations are twisted from emotions, guilt, and trauma from Their loudest experience.

You play Daniel McGovern, an agent that is in charge of investigating theft in one of Leviathan’s scientific institutions, and work that leads to far greater investigations of love, humanity, empathy, and the complexity of morality.

Creating a dark world

I believe that Creation is a deep dialogue with the human soul, beyond books or films to include real life experiences and emotions. We focus on integrating philosophical reflections into game design, as reflected in the title of this work. The relationship between the causes and consequences of interrelated, with every moment, character connection, events, and more building the whole world.

Through karma, we aim to violate traditional storytelling boundaries, making entertaining experiences while provoking thoughts. This is not only a virtual trip but a mirror for reality, urges players to find their own answers in the game.

Our team uses striking contrast in lighting and brave color palette, which aims to immerse players in experiences that combine realism with surrealism – inspired by the game vibrations from Remedy (Alan Wake, Control) and abstract nature of visual telling in the work From the deceased, the great David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Fire Walk with Me, Eraserhead) whose art is very art Influence the development of our game, inspires us to pay tribute and learn from him. The essence of our creation is to pursue the quality of unique experiences – something very beautiful that remains even after closing one’s eyes, and efforts to obscure the boundaries between reality and illusion.

In the game, we pay homage to Mr. David Lynch, and we hope the players will appreciate this trip.
