KARMA: The Dark World News

Happy Lunar New Year

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello Agents,

First of all – a huge thank you to all the new operatives that have joined us over the past few weeks and shared their thoughts, their praise, and their feedback on KARMA.

It brings the Bureau much pleasure to see you all tending to your duties so diligently.

Today is a very special day for the team here at Pollard, as we celebrate the Lunar New Year switching to the year of the Fire Horse.

We’d like to wish agents the world over all the best and invite you all to celebrate with us wherever you are – and that the rest of the year brings good fortune, reunions and safety for all of you.




As an added thank you, we’ve been paying attention to the creator agents out there sharing their virtual photographs, their streams and their theories online, and wanted to spotlight a few of them as a way of saying thanks.

Until then, remember that MOTHER is watching, and the gates to Utopia are open to those who serve.

MOTHER says : Nominate KARMA for Outstanding Story Rich Game!

[p]
[/p][p]Hello agents.

It's that time of year again where the loyal citizens of our great community are tasked with telling Steam about their favourite game experiences of the year.

We are very proud of all of the artistry that was created in order to bring the world of KARMA to life - from the visuals, to the audio and the performances of the talented actors, and as such it can be VERY tricky to decide which of the award categories KARMA belongs in the most - however we have decided that the best category would be for Story Rich Game.

At it's core, KARMA was made to tell a complicated story of love, loss and sacrifice - one that we trusted you, the player to piece together as you explored the shadows in the depths of suspects memories and realise how sometimes the individual loss can be more tragic than the wider conspiracy, and how decisions can impact people many times removed from an action.

There have been some unforgettable stories released in gaming this year - covering individual passion projects, indie releases like KARMA and of course, the AAA blockbusters, but if you want to help spread Daniels story to a much wider audience - and help us get the visibility that would let us even continue to tell it - a vote for KARMA would be appreciated more than words.[/p][p]
As always we are humbled and thankful for all of your support - please take care of yourselves.

- Pollard Studio and Wired Productions [/p]
