Developer AuraLab has released Karma. Incarnation 1 on the App Store and has also released a free pack of deliciously bizarre iMessage stickers featuring characters from the game.
Your beloved has been abducted by evil spirits – and the only way to save her is by reincarnating as a powerful dragon. But something goes wrong – and you find yourself reborn as a worm named Pip.
As Pip, you must solve mind-bending puzzles across a psychedelic world choosing between good and evil to learn the laws of Karma. By gaining wisdom, your choices can affect the outcome of the game.
Karma. Incarnation 1 was recently recognized as one of the very best Unity games on the Windows Store with a 2nd Place win in the Microsoft Challenge.
It has also won several additional awards:
- “Best Art Design” (Intel’s Level Up game development contest)
- “Excellence in Game Design” (DevGamm – the largest game development conference in Russia)
- “Best in Show: Critic’s Choice” (Indie Prize showcase)
Interact with the environment to solve puzzles. Meet strange, astonishing creatures who can communicate through thought forms. If you give them what they need, they’ll reward you with safe passage. Fail to help them, and you’ll be stuck! Every interaction is meticulously animated frame by frame – delivering an unforgettable visual (and auditory) experience.
Touch the screen to trigger events that draw the attention of various creatures – setting off a chain reaction that will (hopefully) end in your favor. Need help? Use “astral sight” to peek into the spirit realm, gain knowledge of the world around you, and perhaps even reveal an important hint. But be careful when making moral choices: If you kill a creature to quickly solve a puzzle, you’ll weigh down your soul with evil Karma. A more peaceful resolution might wash your sins in good Karma instead. Every decision has consequences.
