Survive a plane crash and enter the veil between life and death. Solve physics-bending puzzles, collect lost stars, and cultivate a garden within your mind. In this atmospheric journey inspired by The Little Prince and Sufi mysticism, the only way out is within.
WHEN THE STARS FADE, THE MIND AWAKENS
When Emir’s plane crashed into the endless desert, it wasn’t just the metal wings that broke. He woke up in a place neither of this world nor the afterlife. This is Barzakh; the thin veil between dreams and reality, the living and the dead.
In this journey, you are not just trying to survive; you are repairing a fractured mind and seeking a way out in a limbo where memories are buried in the sand.
KEY FEATURES
🌌 Explore Beyond the Veil
Barzakh is not a fixed place, but a reflection of Emir's inner world. Travel through universes where physics bend, gravity loses its meaning, and time stands still. From giants lurking in medieval darkness to ancient civilizations submerged underwater; every chapter holds a secret waiting to be unraveled.
🌱 Cultivate Your Mind’s Garden
Nothing you collect is just an "item." Every star you find is a seed of truth.
- Discover: Solve puzzles to reveal hidden stars.
- Plant: Sow the stars into the barren garden of your mind (Hub World).
- Grow: Create your own oasis in the middle of the void and confront Emir's past.
🗝️ The Power of Words
Every universe has its own "Word." Stars bring you not only light but also the missing sentences of the story. Combine these words to understand why Emir is here and rewrite his fate.
🎨 In the Footsteps of Sufism & The Little Prince
Combining the naivety of The Little Prince with the depth of Sufi philosophy, Barzakh: The Star Gardener offers a non-violent, atmospheric, and meditative experience akin to Journey and GRIS.
LEAVE YOUR MARK IN THE SANDS
I may be developing Barzakh alone, but we are writing this story together. I share the entire development process, behind-the-scenes footage, and new ideas on our Discord server.
My Promise to You: If you join our community and contribute to the world of Barzakh with your feedback, you will live forever within the game. I will hide my most creative supporters into the game’s very texture;
- Perhaps your name in a dusty book in the library,
- Your portrait on an old photograph on a wall,
- Or your story within an examinable, special artifact buried under the sands.
Come, become an "Easter Egg" in this universe and leave your own trace in the void.
