About Moksha Space
A Purely Sensory Game
In Moksha Space, there are no battles, equipment, or leveling systems. Instead, it offers a quiet reflection and contemplation on the meaning of life. The developers aim to provide players with an experience similar to visiting an "installation art" exhibit. In the space of meditation, players are encouraged to feel emptiness, loneliness, time, life, death, confusion, and hesitation. In a tranquil and relaxed state, engage in dialogue with your inner self, ponder the meaning of life, and understand the true essence of liberation and redemption. If this game can offer even a slight consolation to your noisy heart or a gentle touch to your weary soul, then it has fulfilled its primary intention.
Choices Between Life and Death
In the game, you can choose to either sow seeds of grass or listen to tombstones, each symbolizing different approaches to life's events. When either choice reaches a significant turning point, the world changes in response.
The Joy and Sorrow System
When certain conditions are met during gameplay, a Joy and Sorrow branch will appear. Each playthrough evokes different emotions, encouraging players to influence the atmosphere of the redemption space based on their current mood. Perhaps this can offer you some inspiration?
The Television
The television is an object players constantly face during the game. Facing a no-signal TV during the day and night can lead to significant psychological changes. This represents both boredom and liberation. People often stare blankly at something, and it is hoped that as you gaze at the TV, you might also gain some insights.
Infinite Reincarnation? Liberation?
In Indian religions, "Moksha" means "liberation." In Moksha Space, players are perpetually "trapped." What then is "liberation"? The answer can only be found within the game...

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. Wikipedia says this about Moksha: [i]Moksha is derived from the Sanskrit root word, muc, which means to free, let go, release, liberate[/i]. And that does seem more specifically in tune with the experience this game offers. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3296914804 With that in mind, this is a game that requires you to also let go of popular gaming conventions. This is entirely a first-person e…16 found this helpful
The concept of using an active entity like a game to create even a moment of relaxation and 'chill' is wonderful, and I want to commend the idea. However, this also makes me wish for more. I look forward to future updates. Although the purpose is to chill, there is too much unnecessary information, such as the mouse pointer, version display, and help display. I would like an option to turn these off. Additionally, I question the purpose of the TV—isn't it disruptive in this space? The sound of the rain is not heard in a three-dimensional space. Despite the good quality of the sound, the balance is off between the left and right, and there are interruptions that break the sense of immersion. It feels wasteful to have tasks to do. 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.1 found this helpful
