KARMA: The Dark World | Filter Mode Update Launch Trailer

20% Discount

To celebrate the new update, we’ve also put a special week long 20% discount on KARMA – starting RIGHT NOW and running until Monday 19th 6pm BST.

This is the perfect time to pick up KARMA if you haven’t already done so (or to tell other friends that you think would make good Leviathan Agents to report for duty!)

Additionally this 20% discount is applied to KARMA on GoG – and EPIC as it launches on the EGS store today!

Until next time. Mother Is Watching

Dustborn update v1.12: March 2025

Dustborn Marches ever onwards (sorry)

Our latest content update is a relatively minor one, but addresses something we’ve wanted to do for a long time: more Herald, more context to the Puritans storyline. We’re not done with this yet — we have some additional plans for the game’s ending — but the new Pax-meets-the-Herald scenes in issues #4, #7 and #10 add important details and context to a part of the story we weren’t completely happy with.

Aside from that, there’s now an alternate way to enter the New Jerusalem mall, using Ziggy; the first of hopefully many radio broadcasts; and a couple of important bug fixes and optimisations.

We hope you enjoy this (minor) update! We have something really special planned for our next big content update, scheduled for “spring 2025”. (Norwegian spring, that is. Our summer doesn’t really begin until June.)

Change log — version 1.12

Content updates:

• New and updated Herald scenes in issues #4, #7, and #10.
• The first of several planned radio broadcasts added to the bus after leaving Liberty (issue #2).
• Alternate path to entering the New Jerusalem mall, using Ziggy. This path is Coda-dependent.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed checkpoint saving for key moments.
• Resolved ME-EM “jiggle” issues on low frame-rates.
• Addressed several memory-related crashes.
