Summer DB entity ID: d9e338c4\-a15a\-4b3c\-bc14\-dc930c20ba79

Steam App ID: 851880

Few in the world attain to the wordless teaching    and the advantage arising of non\-action\.  \-Laozi    RŌA is a short cryptic single\-player first\-person play on awareness and fugacity\.    Somewhere between life and dream, we are an observer of our own experience\.\.\. Are you playing them? Are they playing you? What does your happiness feel like\. What was your first memory\. Who has changed you\. Restless seekers, bustling, endeavoring, zealously and always busy\. Their origin is the same, but their paths are not\.     Gameplay   While in many games the beings are eliminated by clicks, in RŌA you put them at  rest  or  awake  them again\. Choose their pose from a range of options\. There are two possible endings\. However, the journey is the destination here, a challenge not everyone is ready for\. Chasing meaning in the void\. Are you open to the uncommon, in wonder watching the stars and chaos, maybe going to museums sometimes? Then the game might be notable for you\.     Controls   Classic Mouse&Keyboard or any gamepad to walk and look around\. The Screen stays HUD\-free\. One button is referring to Rest or Awake creatures, another is to clear the screen by Scanning for them\.    RŌAro'\-an\. See also REST  \(contemporary\):  ancient tongue for TRANQUILITY, REPOSE: State of inner calm\. Also: stillness, silence, peace\.    In memoriam of my beloved wife, sculptress Anne\-Katrin Altwein, I leveled the entrance fee\. She always wanted to make   everyone happy or enchanted with our work\.
