"The Tower" DLC is out!

I'm excited to announce that today marks the release of "The Tower" - a free DLC that I'm so thrilled to share with you.

How to play "The Tower"

  • This DLC requires a 1.2 Update (or higher), so make sure your DARQ build is up to date. When in doubt, you can verify the version you have in the pause menu (upper-right corner). The 1.2 build has DLC section in the pause menu:
  • Go to "The Tower" page and click DOWNLOAD.
  • Before running DARQ, make sure that the DLC is marked as "Enabled / Installed" on your DLC list.
  • In DARQ, go to the Pause Menu and enter the DLC section - you'll be able to access the list of available DLC's. It's one for now, but we've already started working on the second one, which as promised, will be free as well.

Hope you enjoy this level! A lot of hard work and heart went into it. I can't wait to hear from you. Consider writing a review or leaving a comment - all feedback means a lot to me and helps me improve the game.

P.S.: If you encounter any issues with controllers, please know I'm already on it and will be patching it up shortly.

Special 50% Discount

Recently I've received a number of comments mentioning that the price point for DARQ is a bit too high when it comes to the amount of content offered. Message received. In addition to this free DLC (and future free expansions), DARQ is now temporarily being offered at a half price, so even more people can (hopefully) enjoy it. If you recently purchased the game at a full price, you can request a refund and re-purchase it at the discounted price. Please consider spreading the word about this promotion, or if you can afford it, gifting the game to your friends who might enjoy it. It would help accelerate the production of the second free DLC.

Thank You

Big credit and much gratitude goes to Davide Pellino and Felipe Torrents (3d artists), Bjørn Jacobsen (sound designer who was just nominated for a Game Audio Award for this very game), Kelsey Haley (2d artist), our incredible team of translators (all listed individually in the game's end credits), and all of YOU who purchased this game - it's thanks to you the creation of this DLC was possible.
