The Crypt

The Crypt will be at least twice as long as The Tower. The average playtime varies between 40 to 60 minutes. Finding all hidden collectibles and unlocking extra achievements will likely take about 1 hour.

It's also the most challenging level in the game - at least that's what our beta testers say!

New Achievements

The Crypt will introduce 5 new achievements. Most are pretty difficult to unlock, so it's a treat for those of you who like a good challenge.

Console releases

DARQ

Complete Edition , which will include the base game plus The Tower and The Crypt DLC's, will launch on PS4 and Xbox One on December 4, too!

Those who purchase DARQ

TIGA Award Nomination

Ok, this is a bit overwhelming, but... DARQ is nominated for the TIGA's Best Adventure Game Award, alongside... The Last of Us Part II (!), and other awesome games. I'm blown away and can't quite describe what an honor it is for a first-time developer.

Thank You

The Crypt took hundreds of hours of work. It ended up being the most ambitious level in the entire game. As always, thank you for your support for DARQ. Your belief in this project and in me means more than words can say. Also, thank you for being patient - it definitely took some time to get The Crypt to the point where it felt like the best level of DARQ. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to spend months working on something for the sole purpose of making it cool, something that I get to share with you. It wouldn't have been possible without your support. I don't take any of it for granted.
