‘Disciple’ is an immersive and interpretive experience that follows a soul navigating the afterlife, suspended in the space between death and rebirth. Inspired by the cyclical nature of Samsara—a Buddhist philosophy that describes the path toward rebirth—this journey through vast, dimensionless spaces reflects pivotal links in the chain of dependent origination: Ignorance (Avidya), Consciousness (Viññana), and Becoming (Bhava). The player is guided by a sphere of “enlightenment” as they move through the links of Samsara, gradually developing self-understanding and awareness.
