Overview
After completing your first meditation session, Playne gives you the ability to meditate in a more creative setting where you can choose to focus less on the story and personally customize the growth of your island with each session. With each session, you will receive a variety of seeds that you can plant where you want as you explore your island in a first-person mode.
Finally, if you show enough dedication to your meditation by completing the story mode you can unlock the Evolve game mode. This mode removes you from your small island and gives you a 4 sq km space to create your own forest as you continue to meditate.
"Care for your mental well-being, experience calm, and explore growth with meditation."
