“To tell the truth, I was not impressed by the demo and did not expect much from this game, but it turned out to be quite a little masterpiece! 'Karma' is beautiful, stylish and fun 'Samorost'-like puzzle adventure game.…”
“Amazing game! Taking into account that the price has been lowered to the limit, it's a must buy! +Visuals: Beautiful, colorful, great art style and easy to use point and clicker. Great mix for a relaxing gaming session.…”
“It's hard to put my words regarding this title because of the high artistic nature of this game. It can be said to a lot of point and click games. Karma is less of a game, and more of an expereince, a surreal,…”

“This was an IndieGoGo campaign that I backed, but didn't make it. However, the devs didn't give up and kept working on their game, and now have released chapter 1. Did you like Botanicula, but wish it could be weirder?…”

“A Glorious Way To Reincarnate This game reminded me of Machinarium mixed with Limbo. It is set in a very odd yet attractive world. Psychedelic animation and engaging memorable heroes stands this game out from the…”
“The beauty of the art style is evident to anyone, so I will not dwell on that. While it is impossible to not be reminded of the Amanita Design games, this doesn't feel like a rip-off. And while the textures are not as…”

“I'll spare me and you a lengthy review as others have done this already. While sifting through the garbage that swamps Steam I came across this game and was immediately intrigued by the screenshots. I didn't expect much…”
“What did I just play? This was super weird, but pretty. It felt more like a short movie that I slightly interacted with, especially at first. Fun game. Worth the low price. Seems to be the first in possibly a trilogy.”

“after reading all those positive reviews, what a huge disappointment. perhaps the game gets better later, but i got tired of the totally linear "plot" where i had little choice and was just lead around by the hand.…”

“I really think the Adventure genre just isn't for me. To me, the game gets in the way of the adventure. I almost never walk away from these games and think, "I'm glad that wasn't a movie or a book!" Games are the wrong…”

“This game is pretty bad. It's interesting visual style is unfortunatly, the only good thing about it. It's puzzles are both abritrary, because this surrealistic world has no logic to it or clearly defined puzzle pieces,…”

“A point and click adventure in a vibrant, beautiful world. Slow unskippable animations. Almost two hours of content. Part 1 of 3 (the other two do not exist [yet]). + Great visual style, graphics and animation + Great…”
“Absolutely love this game! There's no dialog and everything is fairly straightforward. It's very interesting how your moral choices have an impact on the actual gameplay, and how you must redeem yourself in order to…”

“I was able to play this at PAX West this past September and I’ll be honest, it was frustrating and confusing at the time I played it. Coming back to it however, they definitely refined a lot of small, but major gameplay…”
“Karma. Incarnation 1 is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a simple iPhone screen tapping adventure game where…”
“First of all - this game does not "explore a love story" - sorry it just doesn't. There were a few blobs at the intro to the game that were in love. That was the extent of the "explore a love story". Secondly - I didn't…”

“I played only about 15 minuts because: - i hate games where I can't skip animation (game constains many annoying animations) - there aren't any settings (sound, music, windowed mode, ...)”
“I found this game to be charming and beautiful from beginning to end. If you enjoy games like Botanicula, Machinarium or Samorost, I daresay you'll enjoy Karma Incarnation 1 as well. I loved the different worlds…”

“Karma Incarnation 1 is one third of a cutely psychedelic point and click adventure with light puzzling and some hidden objects. I played it entirely using touch screen controls, though at the start of the game some baffling keyboard/mouse controls were communicated to me without…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“It's undeniable that Karma Incarnation 1 is what many would call, "Gamer Art" but what does that mean exactly? Is that just a fancy term for grandly illustrated/unique art? Does that mean lack of depth to gameplay? That there is a deeper message embedded in the game? Well, just…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“There's a lot about this game that is truly bizarre, not just the art style. The game seems to be cobbled together without much care for the player's experience, and the result was that I was frustrated with gameplay, felt like I was fighting the game to play it, and felt like…”
