Hello
I know that some of you know me for quite some time already, some don't, so I am addressing this message for everyone, so feel free to spread it.

I have always wanted to create a GAME, you know, something you can be proud of, something unique that could be remembered.
Spending a lot of time choosing right setting and concept, I wanted to combine puzzles, and good storytelling.
Testing and creating puzzles, I have invented a neat concept of puzzle, that is based on literally time travel.
So your clock becomes a key - to solve puzzles, I have tested created numerous concepts and puzzles how you can use to create interesting puzzles, that can be both easy and entertaining and mindbogglingly hard.
A lot of time I have devoted for the story, designing characters and their intentions, moods, and interactions with player - so it won't be just another puzzle game without a story.
As for visuals - at first, my design was be solely text based game, but after few concept demos and mock-ups, I have decided to use pre-rendered 3D Fractals for videos and backgrounds. And I don't use them - 'just as a placeholder' I create animate and guide them, to be visually comparable with things going on in game as - databases, gates, cluster and other visual representations of abstract things you can't see as objects - but as code only.

Who doesn't want to change their PC clock, there will be an alternative direct in-game input mode, that is less immerse, but not in any other way less than standard.

I was slowly making my game, hoping to make a Greenlight page later this year, when I had more levels and story to show, but unfortunately due to Greenlight closing I have done it now. I have very small chances of passing Greenlight, due to the lack of things to show, because I was creating story, script, puzzles and rendering and adjusting visuals. I know how hard it is now, to pass Greenlight my friend still can't even pass it despite having made great games previously, so...

I am telling you this right now - I am betting my reputation on steam and steamgifts:

I PROMISE Provide good story with interesting plot-twists, and characters you will care for.
I PROMISE that all dialogs voiced, to understand feelings and mood of the characters.
I PROMISE to create interesting and not repetitive puzzles.
I PROMISE to make quality product without typos, graphical glitches, and other unpleasant things
I PROMISE to rely on community trust, and not deleting any negative comments and criticism
I will NOT make horrible product just to bank on cards
I will NOT use any asset flips or unlicensed materials
I will NOT release game and imminently bundle it, to sell for 10 cents or free
I will NOT use any boosting groups
So please trust me, and give me chance

I will create giveaways promoting this event, thanking you for your time, and for trusting me.
I will soon update Greenlight page with better description, trailer, and screenshots.

P.S. I wanted to know if you will do something to reduce lag during game because loading fractals is an heavy pain especially for not-so-good processors - I would also advice you putting some more graphical effect and visual filters! - Keep up the good work

Oh sorry, all videos are pre-rendered, but they still consume memory processing power, so they are loaded in scenes and not altogether, so it won't be much stress to your PC, the system specs will be posted, when I have all major levels ready and test the load of videos + puzzles\scripts on game engine.

I admit, I haven't voted on many Greenlight games (probably around 10-15 in total), but Samsara is the most interesting of them by far. I wish you luck and really hope it gets approved, because it looks rather unique. Please, keep us updated on its progress!

Downright positive vote. As I already stated on your greenlight, such effort should not be left unrewarded. And to put it even on the simplest of perspectives, there are games that are not even consisted of actual gameplay that are on the store, why should yours be excluded?
Thank greenlight I can purchase The Deer and enjoy all of its gameplay components
