6 itemsAbout the Game
You awaken in a body that is not your own.
In Samsara, you cycle through multiple human and non-human lives across time. Each transformation shifts how you move, perceive, and exist. Walk across solid ground, float through altered gravity, or fall through spaces that defy scale and orientation. There are no fixed perspectives, only changing embodiments.
Through reincarnation, Samsara invites you to experience perception itself as something fluid. What appears to be progress may reveal itself as a loop. What truly transforms is not the world, but the way you inhabit it.
