The goal of  project Samsara was to design and develop an expressive artistic experience that addressed the serious issue of bullying; an unsolved social problem that results in both emotional and physical trauma for its victims. Bullying is a problem that is rooted in negativity, so the philosophy of our team was to create something positive.

We created a game called Samsara, which is an atmospheric, vertical scrolling, action/adventure game where players guide a seed as it falls from the top of the trees to the beautiful forest floor.
