Adventure of Samsara is a 2D pixel art platformer-RPG developed by Ilex Games, released in 2025 for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game casts the player as the Solar Champion, a resurrected hero navigating a narrative centered on themes of death, rebirth, and memory. Its story is described as deeply twisting, drawing on the cyclical philosophical concept of samsara as a structural and thematic framework. The world is designed to feel interconnected, encouraging exploration across what appears to be a multiverse in need of restoration. The visual presentation relies on classic pixel art aesthetics, pairing retro-style visuals with genre elements drawn from both platformers and role-playing games. The combination of intricate worldbuilding and a layered, nonlinear narrative distinguishes it from more straightforward entries in the indie platformer space.
