...... he must learn to see the world he thought he knew so well also upside-down as means of reaching the secrets buried deep inside the material body entraped inside time, the body of birth and death. The egg thus represent the whole universe contained within the material, its the key that once hatched unleashes realization.. and so the last room of this jouney show us that in order to scape the cube, the "prison" of time and space which spirit reincarnates and dies, he must aknowledge that time equals 0 - its only real NOW - the window of perception equals the INFINITE, and identification through the 5 senses is but a efemeral illusion that allways oscilates into duality, the master container of our emotional and intelectual bagages.

From my viewpoint, we do not begin the game as a ghost but as The ghost, the mystery, He's standing on a cube, which means he's "trapped" inside matter - the 3D world. He died to himself and is bound to the cross, the unfolded cube which is time and space. From there he must follow the teachings of the "fish"- the symbolic yogi of pisces know as Jesus - he must embark on a esoterical journey through the mastering of the tetragammaton, the 5 pointed star of elements and senses. And thus as we perform the ritual of "lightening" the 5 pointed star we open the secret window of self-perception, the portal to our inner world - the subconcious. From there, and beyond the astral realm of dreams, the progress of his spiritual journey leads him to see the world through the eyes of oposite life forms......

Awesome piece of art. Is it inspired by Fafka's great work "The Metamorphosis"? The whole setting and the game's name Samsa(ra) reminds me of it.

Interesting, but still requires more than one unintuitive step. That there is no clearly indicated 'start' for the candles doesn't help that part.

I take it, you died and got to choose your reeincarnation? Maybe...?
But why find an explanation, it's a great surrealist game!

Erik Satie probably should have some form of a mention in the caterpillar song :) Was a fun game it made me think!

I thought I was about to summon the devil with that fish surrounded by five flames in the points of a star. Thank God I took all those drugs so nothing felt "unusual".

Because when I turn ito a caterpillar, thirst thing I do is crawl into a dead guy's mouth and end up in a forest! 5/5

Creative. Most of the puzzles were comprehensible, and I didn't have to play hunt-the-pixel. I've played many harder escape games, but very few better escape games. Well done.
