About the Game

This is a story about Sam, travelling through the alleys of her mind. From tedious everyday routines to spiritual self-discovery, Sam's world is changing according to her wishes.
The game's main idea has a lot in common with Buddhist philosophy. Bardo is a Tibetan word meaning a transition, being BETWEEN something and something else. For instance, between sleep and wakefulness, or between life and death.

If you are reading these lines, know that you are in the Bardo too.
