About the Game

Introducing KOI
KOI reflects a tranquil and mesmerizing experience as you embark on an introspective journey through the lens of a lone koi fish separated from its owner and is the last hope for purifying waters polluted by mankind. It’s up to you to turn the tide and guide the koi through eight artfully rendered stages that will take you into the murky as well as enchanting waters, deep below the surface.


Turmoil and Serenity on the Horizon
Become immersed in the life of the lotus pond with a spellbinding soundtrack as you guide the koi through unknown waters. Cleanse the tainted waters by maneuvering past obstacles, solving puzzles by guiding koi to open flowers and release the Light Fish, memorizing melodies hidden within deadened branches and restore the ecosystem.


Explore the Ever-Evolving Koi Pond
In the award-winning game, KOI the lotus pond takes on a life of its own as it is presented in vibrant, high definition visuals optimized for PC. The world is waiting to be uncovered and you must help restore the ecosystem along the way.


Peace of Mind
Escape the realities of life and achieve a level of mindful satisfaction.
