About PLAYNE : The Meditation Game
Playne invites players to build a daily meditation habit within a serene island that evolves as you practice mindfulness. Guided audio sessions, breath exercises, and a mindful journaling tool help improve mental wellbeing while you watch seeds sprout into trees.
The game offers a sandbox for designing personalized biomes and an expansive Evolve mode that unlocks after completing the core experience. A free VR DLC enables VR mode, and completing Playne triggers a real‑world tree planting near Scotland’s Tweedsmuir Hills.
01 / THE GUIDE
Meditation Practice
Playne provides easy‑to‑understand meditations, including audio‑guided sessions that introduce mindfulness concepts. Players can also use a mindful journaling tool to write freely after each practice.
Breath‑focused exercises are included to help reconnect with the body, and the game helps build a daily habit of meditation and mindfulness, encouraging consistent practice.
- Try pairing a guided session with headphones for deeper focus.
- Use the journaling tool after each meditation to reflect on progress.

Island Growth & Biomes
Seeds planted during meditation grow into trees, and the island transforms as daily sessions accumulate. Different tree species allow the creation of multiple biomes, each reflecting the player’s journey.
Weather and time can be altered to craft immersive ambiences, and completing Playne unlocks a massive island for further exploration.
- Experiment with various tree species to see distinct biome styles.
- Adjust weather to match the mood you want while meditating.

Sandbox vs. Evolve Modes
In Sandbox mode, players plant seeds and design their own Playne. Completing Playne unlocks Evolve mode, an open‑world island where forests can expand dramatically.
Both modes allow you to create multiple biomes, but Evolve mode emphasizes exploration of a larger, evolving environment.
- Use Sandbox mode to prototype biome layouts before unlocking Evolve.
- Explore Evolve mode after completion to experience the full island scale.

VR support enhances the immersive meditation experience, and the game lets you select scenery, weather, and time.
- Verify the VR DLC is fully downloaded before starting a session.
- Use tethered Quest 2 for the most stable VR performance.

Finishing the game triggers a real‑world tree planting near Scotland’s Tweedsmuir Hills as a celebration of the player’s journey.
