where breath becomes weightless.

A teacher's voice instructs you through a short meditation session. You will soon leave your body and witness the Big Bang. As the universe expands through you, look around to manipulate the flow of time.

Focused breathing, binaural-beat audio, guided hypnosis, and suggestive game elements — a team project continued for a year after the jam, then finished and published.
