Welcome to the official site of Zen! Have you dreamed of escaping reality? Asylum Software proposes a voyage beyond your expectations, delving deep into your spirit. Our blue planet needs you. Our ecosystem is failing; man continues his mad nature of destroying everything in his path, and you are the only one who can restore the balance of the elements. Using water, fire, terrain, wind, and life, use your brain to return each element to the purity of it's origin.

Zen is an experiment of the senses, combining gripping gameplay with a beautiful graphically and musically enriched environment. The new play system, Virtual Brain Damage, will put even the most astute gamers to the test, or will cause you to go completely insane in the process! Saving the planet isn't going to be easy, will your spirit be pure enough to overcome this challenge? The game is on, it's necessary to remain ZeN...

Release your spirit! Zen will be available in 2005 exclusively on Dreamcast.

Darksaviour69: I de-babelfished it a bit for you (here and on the front page). :P

Asylum: Looks good, I hope it comes out. Though, you understand my reservations of course, since it's on the free Lycos France website. We've been burned in the Dreamcast community one two many times before, so I like to stay overly cautious.

Though, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, as it looks like you've put alot of effort in this. I can't download the videos, as Lycos France is too slow from where I am, but the screenshots look amazing.

If this does get released, I'm sure you'll gain more than enough fans, me included. Keep up the good work.

from the forum

Hello has all! Z(e)N is a play of reflexion intended for the community of Dreamcast players in evil of feelings. After grinds meetings on the scheme of work has to approach, Dreamcast seemed to us to be the console more has to even accomodate such a play. It allows a simple development compared to its competitors and has a very active scene homebrew envisaged for the end 2005, Z(e)N is always in phase of realization. The play will be multilingual (French and English) and will comprise 50 basic levels. A pressing in factory is very strongly considered. If c'est the case, it will be provided with an album of the musics of the play. The play will not be multijoueurs for l'instant, but such an option is considered. An editor of level will be also of the part to carry out to you even your challenges Z(e)N and the uploader on Internet in order to divide them has the community of players of the whole world. All l'équipe wishes you a good year 2005 and is has your provision if you have questions. Asylum.
