Our take on Philosophical Jigsaw - The Zen Koans
The focus on jigsaw assembly and koan scenes keeps the activity range narrow. That focused structure leaves less room for players seeking multiple gameplay systems or progression beyond the puzzles and garden.
What is Philosophical Jigsaw - The Zen Koans?
Philosophical Jigsaw - The Zen Koans combines jigsaw puzzles with short Zen Buddhist stories, dialogues, and narratives.
Completing a puzzle reveals an animated cutscene based on a koan. The game includes 5 koans arranged into 19 procedurally generated puzzles. Four difficulty settings are available, with puzzles containing 25, 64, 144, or 324 pieces. A garden area allows a completed picture to be viewed again and includes secrets to unlock. The garden also provides a separate place to relax. The experience centers on assembling images, viewing the related koan scenes, and exploring the garden between puzzles.
