Introducing the cast of Karma



Hello agents - we hope you've been enjoying all the updates this week - between the previews and streams of the early hours of the game - you may have spotted a few characters in our Dark World...

We thought we'd take a moment to share some information on the citizens of our city and the information we have on them so you're better prepared to investigate them. When every shadow hides a secret knowing who you can trust is vital..

We'll also be sharing some concept art as well so you can see how they came to life from their original designs.

[h3]The cast of Karma[/h3]

[h2]Daniel Mcgovern[/h2]



Daniel McGovern is a ROAM Agent for Leviathan Corporation. His duties involve investigating crime scenes, interrogating suspects and witnesses, and as a last resort – performing dives into the memories of citizens to live out their history. ​

Daniel is an intelligent man, with a past he keeps close to himself. He is fiercely loyal to Leviathan, and is often described as 'cold'.​

[h2]Sean Mehndez[/h2]



An employee of Leviathan who lost his leg in an accident – and his since been demoted. He is a very weak and cowardly person. but he is also a father and he loves his daughter very, very deeply.

He is an employee of Leviathan but is under investigation himself for theft, though he protests his innocence. The circumstances surrounding this theft are very much the subject of rumour and confusion - leading to the need for ROAM to be called in to investigate.



[h2]Fred Ebert[/h2]



Fred is the head of the Winston Research Institute and a brilliant, ambitious, yet flawed man. He has experience in science and has enjoyed great admiration from his peers for the creation of technologies needed for Leviathan and used to further their goals. But at the same time, he has a strong desire for social class and always wants to climb up for a higher level.

The alleged theft from one of his clerks is an unwanted distraction for him - as is the presence of ROAM agents investigating his institute.

He is prone to moments of self import and always likes to feel one step 'above' everyone else in the room, constantly reminding others of his importance. is very rarely seen without a cigar.



There are many other characters that we have yet to show in trailers, streams or previews - agents of the Thought Bureau with screens for faces, creatures in the shadows that may well be figments of shattered memories, scientists, families and a population caught in the collateral of something they can't comprehend.

We'll share more about them in due time - but for now, thank you for reading, if you like what you see, please don't forget to wishlist and share with your friends!

We'll speak again soon. The gates to Utopia are open to those who serve

KARMA: The Dark World - ROAM Trailer



Hello agents.

As mentioned earlier - today we are announcing that we are revealing a Trilogy of trailers covering not just the journey of Daniel McGovern throughout the game, but spanning across the past, present and future of Karma's dark world.

The first trailer focuses on the state of the world after the war, and why Daniels job as a ROAM agent is necessary narrated by the man himself.

This should be a good primer for the mentality all of you as ROAM agents should have when undertaking your investigations - as well as shows some of the threats you may encounter whilst in the field.

Remember, the mind is a dangerous place....
