About This Game

Complete the Path to Liberation in this mindfulness-themed idle/incremental hand-painted journey inspired by Buddhist philosophy.

Cultivate the Four Divine Abidings: Loving-Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Appreciative Joy (Mudita), and Equanimity (Upekkha) - and apply them in various encounters.

Enjoy a calm atmosphere supported by hand-painted art and relaxing music.

Freely choose between active and idle playstyles, with fair offline progress upgradeable to up to 52 hours.

Your entire journey will be guided by a series of tasks that gradually introduce core concepts. With dedication, you can complete the game through a series of Rebirths, shaped by the Karma Seeds sown in previous incarnations.

Each step you make brings you closer towards the ultimate goal of Full Liberation.
