I can see the similarities, though I think Braid is more focused on the platform elements while Darwake uses the side-scroller platform format mostly as a vehicle for a horror adventure. The main character has a very limited move set, which is an intentional design choice. I wouldn't even call it a platformer - more like a horror game with a sprinkling of side-scroller mechanics.
I think Little Nightmares would be a more apt comparison.
I initially thought this was made by the same developers as Limbo and Inside because the look and feel of the game is so similar!
I love these puzzle platformer games, so I'll be sure to check this out!
Limbo would be a good proxy comparison to this, yeah.
Is it just me or does it look like horror Braid? By the way, the horror aspect is quite good!

Yes, you are right! I just thought about the art style, somehow it reminded me of Braid 🤷♂️
