I play A LOT of point and click games, but this one was just... perfectly balanced.. the way the game induces the player to discover it's way of functioning, the surrealism, the forth and back in the rooms... 5/5 + favorite.

Abroy, ma man, ill give you some advice. Dont make your puzzles too arbitrary, it really kills the joy. Rather that being about logical puzzle solving to escape the room, its a random click fest! 2\5

Surprisingly straightforward for this genre.
Nothing really wrong with it but I would have preferred at least some challenge.

better ending than other escape games i have played and the game play itself makes you think more than other escape games

I love the concept! I wish more games would play around with the concept of samsara (the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth). It gives more substance to the goal of an escape game by making your "escape" enlightenment. Also, it's fun and surreal, just the way I like it!

For those of you who are complaining about the ending...I looked up the meaning of "Samsara" and it makes more sense to me now. Samsara is a concept in some eastern religions: it is the passage of life and of the soul, of reincarnation, dawn and dusk. It's an endless cycle, and the goal of some of these eastern religions is to "break free" of this cycle by achieving "enlightenment." The phone at the beginning said to "search for enlightenment." You reincarnated into creatures over and over until you were able to "escape" the room, which was like breaking free of the cycle. it's a particularly westernized idea to be rewarded with money and stuff at the end of a game, but this game is very eastern in philosophy. See, the goal was not to get cake or rewards for escaping the room. Escaping the room itself, by achieving "enlightenment" (the ultimate state of mind according to those religions) was the goal all on its own.

For those who don't understand the ending, Samsara is the cycle of reincarnation. You go through a series of reincarnations (the various animals) triggered by your own actions, until finally you escape the cycle (the room) and attain freedom from worldly suffering (enlightenment)
