Hello from the Developer


Meditation is a way for us to learn about ourselves by discovering our inner world. As we better understand our inner world, the better we can respond to our outer world. I grew up with meditation and video games, and I'm exploring how video games can make it easier to learn and build a habit of meditation and mindfulness.

With nearly 15+ significant updates and 50+ patches, Playne has made a full journey from early access to full release thanks to its wonderful community's feedback and support.

Krish Shrikumar is a solo game developer and a BAFTA New Talent nominated filmmaker from Scotland.
