I agree with most of what you said. However, I think it’s more simple to assume that every experience he is having is related to his worsening state. The respirator is hooked up to him, and each state of his dreaming is his deepening into a state closer to death. So for example, the limbs being severed is possibly the cancer taking away his use of his limbs. The electrocutions done on him are attempts to revive him. There’s more to it, but those are simple ways to explain it.

lloyd really looks like the sickly version of victor from frankenweenie

Wow. This sad story has a deep meaning to it. And in all honesty, this game makes me think that this could be the work of Tim Burton since his works are known for being creepy(and I happen to be a huge fan of his).

I think that the last chapter of the game is that Lloyd is dying and when he is chased down by the lamp creatures, that were shooting at him, that's the nurses, trying to save Lloyd. But, when Lloyd (you as the player) keep running, the bridge finally crumbled down, meaning that Lloyd passed away. Now, all he has to do is to continue forward, and then the door opens and he is reborn!

Poor boy I feel so sorry for him but at last he get re born that's a good thing right? that means he can stared his life all over again with a normal family and have friends, go to school and grow up to be a heathy happy man hope fully?

That reminds me of another game that's super short but it's pretty dark. I forgot its name, but in it, a little girl explores her dream world which seems great and all. She meets animal friends who are nice to her and all is well. However, at a tree, there's this one creature (I think he's a wolf), who said he can help you wake up if you collect the seeds of each of her friends, who would only hand it over if you solve the quizzes they give you. Each wrong answer leads to a flower petal being plucked. The true story about the game's story is that the girl was born to a wealthy family: the animals represent key people in her life. One day her mother died, and in her father's depression, he locked her away in a room and made her a sex slave, since she looks like her mom. So basically a story about child rape, and how this girl tries to escape this reality through dreaming

OMG same

Maybe Lloyd had a troubled past, like where he was an orphan. And some of his care takers was bad to him. Like yell, hitt and similar things to him. And he got a bad illness, and needed to go to the hospital. After a while he fell into a coma, with never ending nightmares. And all of the enemies he encounters are all the bad people that was involved in his life. The ending was when he died and got reborn, in hopefully a better life.

So sad. Poor Lloyd. Hope he have a new & better life soon. Stay strong, kid. Love this video. Peace.

A dream within a dream is called a false awakening, I've had a few of those, they are pretty strange. Great video, sad game 😞

As a lucid dreamer wh ok tends to have nightmares, I have learnt to appreciate and love them. But kinda like inception, if you want to stay immersed in the dream despite knowing it is a dream, you can't fiddle with it too much or it will start to break at the seams over time.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the clocks make no sense in the game because they actually make no sense in real life dreams, this is actually a really good way to figure out if you're in a dream, which usually leads to lucid dreaming

That game kinda hits home for me because i had an uncle who suddenly out of nowhere went into a coma i think due to something happening in his brain,but because his family could not take it they asked the doctors to remove life support from him. *sighs* he was a great guy.

Fantastic work superhorrorbro you are fantastic at exploring the lore behind horror games

In regards to the coma, some patients when put into a medically induced coma will experience vivid lucid nightmares they physically can't wake up from. Some people even end up with medical induced PTSD from being quite literally trapped in the nightmare state. It's not something everybody experiences, but a handful of people simply react that way to the drugs.

Lloyd: *is in a coma Heart: ight' imma head out

the last running away part could be all of nurses trying to inject him medicine to save him and the shakes are actually the electric shock which they gave him the old granny I think is his own old grandma who probably was taking care of him and when we see her fall on us before the last dream is when she hugs Lioyd as he is passing away

This is probably one of the most unusual games on steam, unless one takes time to theorize the symbolism around in the game Still, the ending is quite bitter sweet once you watch this video after you finish the game, with mixed emotions, and positive feedback from the community.

I saw a comment about Lloyd's black eyes, and, I think they're black because he can't truly see anything that's going on in the real world during his journey. So instead, his black eyes adjusted to how his eyes are closed irl but are open to his dream world.

I'd like to point out that in the "Theater" level, Lloyd at one point utilizes a snake, which I've heard symbolizes transformation & new life. Maybe it was a foreshadowing of Llyod being reborn?

Got a lot of respect for this developer and what he did. Good on you for making this video while his hype is "high". Idk if this is my cup of horror tea, but ill be buying the game solely to support the dev anyways. also if you kids could stop ruining youtube comment sections itd be greatly appreciated.

So the interviewer asked him, “Do you recognize this man?” The boy said “yes, that’s me!“. So yep. Find these interesting? Please comment if you will! :)

Thanks so much for breaking down all the symbolism within the game. I knew he wasn't actually awake when he was in his "apartment", but that was all I could figure out. This all makes perfect sense now. And this story is a very sad tale of how the mind works against some. Especially if they are in a coma like state. I myself was put into a chemically induced coma and my dreams weren't this darq (I hope you found the pun as funny as I did...then again I'm a dork so probably not hehe) but they were pretty scary I tell you that. I still have nightmares about them. Anyway at least the game ended on a hopeful note of poor Lloyd being reborn to live again. And hopefully in a lot less pain then he was in this game. 🖤

Duck go boo

The Doctor is my favourite DARQ Character! I just love his design and seemingly magical powers!

Am I the only one upset that he called it a gramophone when it is clearly a Tuba?

My theory was that Loyde had some troubles with his family and saw every one as a twisted entity with way to be dept with, which usually ended up in being avoided. And when we see the lady in the wheel chair, I assumed this was his Grandma. After seeing the train sequence of Loyde's Journey, I came to a conclusion that when Loyde went out with his Grandma, and to make sure he didn't have to deal with her, he pushed her under the train out out of fear.

A person who is in a comatose state can't dream. They have very minimal brain activity. Imagine it like someone who can't react to stimuli around them. That's how a person in a coma state is. They don't go through a REM cycle so they can't dream

The lamp-headed nurse is called the Lamp Lady, she's my favourite enemy from Darq!

I agree this makes sense I personally thought he lived with the old woman possibly mother or grandma or guardian and she may have been in a train accident or something else that makes her blame him for her condition the main reasons being she shows up the most and she gets up from her wheelchair a few times witch to me felt like lioyd seen her walking around

It’s either him being reborn, or showing the hope of a better life future people can have as medicine develops and cures are developed. If it is reincarnation I guess the second game will be from the reincarnated kid’s point of view?

How have I never heard of this game before?! It's so cool!!!

We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile And mouth with myriad subtleties, Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but oh great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile, But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! -Paul Laurence Dunbar

Think you could read the Cuphead, Mugman, and Chalice. Exe stories because i love your creepypasta stories.

I am actually a lucid dreamer myself because I can control my dreams but I can’t control some of them

I agree but the end I think he just died and they added that sound to convey the scientific theory or what we socially say as "When someone dies, a new child is born", but not exactly reencarnation, and the light could be the light you see when you die to go to heaven and the journey how we see all our life/memories 'pass by our eyes' before death. This theory is very interesting. Good job!

I had a dream once, it was wierd but I kind of liked the idea of it. Basically, the dream started when Sonic.EXE came to the house, yes, Sonic.EXE. But rather than being evil, he was quite nice and chill. He even got the job of a lifeguard (it was really a little gif or something of a lifeguard running somewhere, and sonic.exe's face was plastered on the head.) And there were humans that were just spinning around and when one of the spinning people went over the crotch area (yes, the crotch area) it would cut to a scene where Sonic.EXE would say something then "I swear!", i forgot. Basically, it was a dream where sonic.exe became a lifeguard.

Hey mike I love your theories/story explains. But I just wanted to share some of my own theories! (Quick warning ‘idk what to call this’: I am NOT a expert on brains, illnesses, or bodies! This is just because I had some theories that I wanted to share) 1 - the clogs/gears: this could be Lloyd trying to fix his mind after hearing about his condition/him trying to keep his brain working in some way. 2 - the limbs: the limbs could represent how he feels stuck in his hospital bed/apartment unable to move while others around him can move freely without pain/worry (idk if this is something that does happen to people. I didn’t exactly do my research before typing this. Because if I was worried that I would forget everything so...yea but how I figured this out is the fact that he is so skinny, yea it could be because of his illness but I also think it’s because he can bearly move, so he’s pretty weak) 3 - the clocks: the clocks could represent his fear of running out of time, wasting time, death, etc.(this is also known as Chronophobia or the fear of time.)

If you read the comic you know he died instantly falling off the tower. So he is DarQ land of the dead, where he try to find a vessel to reborn again. Thats it.

I know what it’s like to have a dream where you step into different realities it is very sickening to jump through different worlds but when you know it’s a dream it is really Remarkable to experience. I haven’t had a dream like that since I was seven I believe

That reincarted theory is so sweet i love it!!!
