Our take on Karma. Incarnation 1
The defining structure is its karma system: Pip’s actions change his appearance, affect character responses, and influence the game’s outcome.
What is Karma. Incarnation 1?
Karma.
Incarnation 1 is an adventure game about Pip, a soul reborn as a worm after an attempt to become a dragon goes wrong. Pip travels through a surreal, hand-drawn world to rescue his abducted love and defeat Evil. Players solve puzzles, interact with unusual characters, and use Astral sight to view the spirit world at any point. Choices and actions follow karma laws: harmful deeds damage Pip’s karma and alter his appearance, while good deeds purify it. Key characters respond differently to Pip’s karma, and these responses can open additional parts of the story. The game uses frame-by-frame animation for interactions with the environment and includes magical music and sound by ZMEIRADUGA.
