It's like Myst, but ten times more cryptic and absurdist.
As much as i would like to say that playing this is like decrypting an alien artifact (HECK it's an Osamu Sato game), sometimes it feels like it's just trying to be weird for the sake of weird, doesn't help when the "puzzles" are so obtuse.
Still, Osamu Sato + pre-rendered point-and-click 3D aesthetic is a godsend, wish Chu-Teng had got a english release as well

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

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

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.
We know this game like the back of our hand. There's scant few games that can qualify for "favorite of all time" because at this point, our favorites list is a 12-game pileup that grows every year or two--this could be a compelling argument.
You can honestly just copy-paste any compliments we gave to Chu-Teng here, because they largely apply here too. All we'll say is this game is a little longer, but also a little easier too. Please play this game, we promise if nothing else, it'll be a very interesting experience that'll be fun to talk about.

A strange, phantasmagorical, sometimes silly and sometimes haunting take on the transmigration of the soul. It's very symbolic and whether you take it just as another weird game or something deeper is completely up to you.
One of the few games that actually made me feel in a different world, with its own logic and metaphysics. The atmosphere it creates is unrivaled.
