Koi Arrives on PS4
Oasis Games Ltd announced today that Koi, an exploration adventure game that follows the quest of a lone koi fish through an ever-evolving lotus pond, has launched in North America for the PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store. Koi arrives!
Developed by Tianjin-based indie studio Dotoyou, this game delivers an entrancingly beautiful and imaginative experience that reflects on mankind’s effects on the environment.
The game is notable for its innovative mix of meditative gameplay and thoughtful reflection as well as its groundbreaking status as the first Chinese-developed game launched on PlayStation 4 in the West.
Koi is the initial console game released by Oasis Games, an established game company with successful games that serves as the first publishing partner of Sony Computer Entertainment Shanghai (SCESH). This first title from Oasis Games will be followed by other console games spanning multiple genres.
This game takes players on a seemingly small journey with deeper meaning. Beneath the tranquil waters of the lotus pond lies a world of danger and uncertainty, illuminated by the game’s hypnotic, piano-based score by Chinese artist Zeta at every twist and turn. The devoted koi will face dangers from raging currents to deadly predators and spiky barriers. But by blooming flowers to purify the pond, threats can become beauty: dark predator fish can become harmless koi friends and melodies hidden in deadened twigs can make leaves green again. This is the game that asks players a simple question: Can you bring purity to a lotus pond, and in so doing, bring happiness and peace to your mind?
Previously released on mobile to positive accolades and awards overseas including earning a first place award for the Modian Web PlayStation Developer Competition, Koi for PlayStation 4 is developed by Dotoyou and published by Oasis Games in North America.
From April 19, 2016 through April 26, 2016, there will be a 20% discount off the base price of $9.99Â and a 40% discount for PlayStation Plus members for Koi.
