Moksha Space

Alright. [i]Moksha Space[/i] is a very experimental gaming experience that can be difficult to define despite the very thorough description on the game's product page. And so, I think the first thing to do is find out more about Moksha itself. In looking into this, it turns out Moksha is a term for various forms of emancipation, liberation, nirvana, or release. So, four states of being, and is generally considered a metaphysical journey in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. In the context of the game, it seems more like you are in a version of Limbo or Purgatory than a version of Nirvana, whereby you have to rely solely on perception to break the chains mentally binding you to such a place, or perhaps to simply create a place of solace in a plane of duality.

The presence of grass makes me feel like I have to take care of it, which goes against the idea of chilling. Introducing a 'chill mode' that prevents any interaction or active tasks would make it a better tool for relaxation. There could be more elements for meditation, such as the sound of water, fire, birds, wind, sunrise, sunset, and drifting clouds. As a meditation space, there are more elements that could be incorporated.
