KAMI
Developer State of Play
KAMI is deceptively simple: fold out coloured paper to fill the screen in as few moves as possible. Relaxing and easy to pick up, you'll soon find yourself deep in contemplation to perfect each puzzle. Created by State of Play, famous for their handcrafted aesthetic, KAMI has been created with real paper in an elegant Japanese theme. From the Steam store page

Paper folding in this game is entirely aesthetic - there's nothing to do with any actual physical mechanics of a sheet of paper. The aesthetic could be easily replaced with anything else, and it would be the same game at its core. For a game named after paper, this seems a little flimsy as a premise. I was hoping for something a bit more in-depth. The visuals were repetitive and bland, though the animation was very …

Good puzzles. Makes my brain HOT! When you're stuck you can get free hints another day if you're willing to sacrifice some brain power for freee solution and I'm not talking about chemistry here.

This is how a perfect casual puzzle games looks like. Simple, yet challenging, and engaging. It's zen vibes and the music add to the flow. Highly recommended.

KAMI is a puzzle game in the truest sense of the word. In terms of goals, it's fairly simple. Fill the entire board with one color in the fewest moves possible. That's it. No story, no worldbuilding, nothing like that. Simple does not describe the game, however: as the game progresses, it quickly goes from basic to challenging to overwhelming, as the puzzles gets more and more complex. It's fun, it's relaxing and …

KAMI is a unique puzzle game where you change colour of the paper to make the whole canvas the same colour. The puzzles difficulty range from easy to moderate. This game is relaxing and I like that there are multiple ways to complete it. I really had fun with it and would play a game like this again. Definitely recommended!

But you also live Aava’s story, feel the exhilaration and challenges of the ascent, meet fellow mountaineers and uncover Kami’s long-lost past.

But also, because children love this game. Like, young kids think this game is hilarious. You always can "beat" a level with them. They pick the colors to use, and you can just click away. The game always says they have won until they learn to read. So yeah, it's a blast to play with a child. I got personally frustrated with the game constantly showing me I'm a dim man, but to…
