I first used the Playne meditation game about 1.4 years ago, and I am currently using the Miracle of Mind app. I decided to try this meditation game also because it is free, and one reason I switched from Playne to Miracle of Mind was that Playne was not available on mobile. This game continues the meditation concept seen in Playne but presents it in a different environment. Progress happens gradually over time, and the design removes a strong emphasis on streaks and strict achievement tracking to keep the experience calm. The experience encourages regular practice in a calm and steady way. New elements appear as progress continues, giving small changes without distracting from the meditation. At first, the approach may seem simple, but over time it keeps the experience varied while still remaining focused on the practice itself. The game is still in Early Access, so some parts may change or improve in the future. However, the overall experience already feels stable and well put together. Additional personal customization options, such as adding quotes or changing visual settings, could enhance it further. Overall, the game provides a quiet meditation space with gradual progress …5 found this helpful
I absolutely love this game! Can't wait to see what i can do with it more once i can upgrade to the paid patreon!
This is a meditative game, quite literally. You find yourself on a simple island and every day you go to meditate and spend time practicing mindfulness, you put energy into grow trees and other natural elements for your island. It is simple and delightful. You can use the game to set aside time to listen to the in-game narrative or use your own mindfulness sources. This is likely the last version of this game that we will get, but it is free so try it out, see if it helps you spend a little time with deep breathing and calm.

Игра 'Inward' — это настоящее погружение в мир самопознания и ментального здоровья, оформленное в виде медитативного приключения. Визуальный стиль игры завораживает своей абстрактностью и символизмом, каждый кадр — словно картина, наполненная глубоким смыслом. Музыкальное сопровождение ненавязчиво, но идеально дополняет атмосферу, создавая ощущение покоя и умиротворения. Геймплей прост, но продуман до мелочей: игрок перемещается по сюрреалистичным локациям, решая несложные головоломки, которые, однако, заставляют задуматься о собственных мыслях и чувствах. 'Inward' не предлагает динамичного экшена или сложных челленджей, её сила в ином — в способности затронуть самые тонкие струны души. Это игра-терапия, игра-размышление, которая оставляет после себя приятное послевкусие и желание лучше понять себя. Рекомендуется всем, кто ищет не просто развлечения, а возможность провести время с пользой для внутреннего мира.
This game is fantastic way to meditate and relax. 100% should download if you are getting into meditation and mindfulness.
