so surreal, so awesome.
Pretty fine click around adventure game with mostly info retrieval based puzzles rather than lock-and-key type stuff. Really cool images conjured here, but the actual progression track of the game feels really arcane. The way the world connects is very exciting as an obvious draft to LSD, but the routing of the proper adventure game stuff constantly undercuts explorations. Neat thing to poke at with a guide if you can deal with early adventure game jank.

I really love this game. It’s music is amazing and it has some of the most unique world building I’ve ever seen. 10/10, osamu sato is like, my favorite artist ever lol.
It’s very nostalgic and special to me, eastern mind is kinda what my dreams look like
Play it blind, you won’t regret it. Maybe use a guide but don’t research anything about it just play it

just fucking look at it
This is an amazing game to admire from a distance. Osamu Sato's distinct 3D artstyle, combined with the surreal Buddhism-inspired cosmology, makes for a setting so compelling you can't help but want to immerse yourself into it. It's too bad the core game is complete crap with loads of frustrating puzzles, incessant backtracking, and honestly straight up bad writing. Also the dude is into NFTs
