Our take on Koi

The focus on calm exploration and environmental puzzles leaves little room for combat-driven variety or large-scale progression. Its eight-stage structure keeps the journey contained, so players seeking a sprawling adventure may find the scope restrictive.

What is Koi?

Guide a lone koi through eight underwater stages after it becomes separated from its owner.

Movement through the pond includes navigating around obstacles, directing other koi to open flowers, and releasing Light Fish. Puzzle sections also involve remembering melodies hidden in damaged branches. These activities contribute to cleaning polluted waters and restoring the surrounding ecosystem. The game presents a tranquil exploration journey beneath the surface, with lotus ponds, murky areas, and colorful high-definition visuals optimized for PC. A soundtrack accompanies the exploration, while the story follows the koi as it becomes the remaining hope for purifying waters affected by human pollution.

How Koi plays

01Eight underwater stages: The koi travels through eight areas that combine murky and enchanting pond environments.
02Environmental puzzles: Puzzle tasks include directing koi toward flowers and releasing Light Fish.
03Melody memorization: Some challenges require remembering musical sequences concealed in dead branches.
04Ecosystem restoration: Progress is tied to cleansing polluted water and recovering the pond environment.
