From the introduction:
Karma in the Dark is a game about oppression and the temptation of selling out for easy power. The system is designed for your group to create your own world that explores the dark and light of a dystopian-punk fantasy. You control how much your campaign leans into the brutal dystopia side or whimsical tropes of fantasy.
The game includes structured world creation prompts that will help you define your group’s unique dystopian flavor and supernatural powers, then project those elements into an alternative future of your design. There are core elements to the setting, with rules for genre-adaptions.
Want to play in a grimdark science fiction future of corporate enslavement, alien magic, and AI soldiers? Cool. Want to jump into an over-the-top cyberpunk world of fashion where rule-of-cool is the actual law and unicorns have replaced sports cars? Go for it. Want to explore an urban fantasy drama of warring fae, dwarf, and shapeshifter factions where humans are reduced to pawns and collateral damage? There are rules for that. Want to transfer an existing fictional world to the game rules? Got you covered.
