Lovely Planet developer quicktequila has revealed TAMASHIKA, an exhilarating psychedelic arcade shooter.
TAMASHIKA is currently being developed for Windows PC via Steam and is expected to launch in 2025.
Let’s delve into the game and watch its captivating trailer:
Patterns in sensory experiences create a false sense of continuity. The dream is a product of the mind that perpetuates the illusion.
The Cartesian prison resembles a hall of mirrors, a never-ending labyrinth. Each reflection is merely patterns and processes.
The only reality is the present moment – maintain your focus. Chaotic attractors are trying to capture your attention, resist the urge to engage.
Simplify your model, embrace the flow. The essence of the game lies in anchoring your mind in one place!
Concentrate and always remember… attention is your most valuable asset.
