What is DARQ: Complete Edition?

This side-scrolling horror puzzle-platformer follows Lloyd, a boy who knows he is dreaming but cannot wake up. You explore nightmare areas, solve puzzles by walking on walls and ceilings, rotating rooms, and using found objects, and sneak past creatures rather than confront them.

+you like puzzles built around changing your perspective
+you prefer creeping tension over graphic violence
