  • Solid entry, let down by not being clear enough and things taking too long to try. Would suggest adding audio queues, the monkey in a sensei voice instructing you for instance. Did very much like the entry however.
  • Definitely relaxing to play through - a nice incorporation of the theme!

Beautiful and Inspiring! When the snow kicked up, I felt I had cheated you for getting this for free! The snowglobe captured the feeling of playing with a plasma globe!

Nice and cool effects added during the meditation. I was a little bit lost until I understand I had to keep the monkey in both hands to start the meditation.

Interesting concept; 3rded that I couldn't figure out the first scene without instructions. Clever mechanic for sort of synchronizing breathing. One interesting thought I had in the same direction (VR meditation trainer) is that tracking is sensitive enough you can pick up breathing and even heartbeats just from the head and controller pose data; so in theory you could have the user put a controller on their chest/diaphragm, and do the right signal processing magic to get the data out.

What is more relaxing than meditation? :)

I also had some issues figuring out how to progress further in the game, but from the pictures, I knew there was more. With some patience, I figured it out.

(Sorry, the first comment I posted here - which I have since deleted - was intended for a different game!)

Very interesting concept! However, I don't think I would have worked out how to get to the next area if weren't for Copper Tunic's video. After I first tried it, I thought maybe we were just meant to try and meditate amid the very noisy street. :-) But once I did make it to the meditation environment it was very nice
