What it is
KAMI is a single-player puzzle game about folding colored paper to fill the screen in as few moves as possible. Its 63 puzzles are presented with a handcrafted Japanese paper aesthetic, and the included soundtrack is described as calming and elegant. The central challenge is to find a concise sequence of folds rather than simply fill the screen, so players can revisit puzzles to try to improve their move count. Premium puzzles and hints are included. KAMI was created by State of Play and is listed for Windows and macOS on Steam; the broader platform list also names Nintendo 3DS. Family Sharing is supported. The game’s description presents it as easy to pick up, with a focus on quiet puzzle-solving and visual style rather than multiplayer or competitive play.
