Kimono

Kimono is a tranquil dress-up game that will take players on a gentle journey through landscapes, seasons, and fashion.

Without pressures, goals, or prizes, players’ creativity has room to stretch: they can personalize cute kokeshi dolls to dress in beautiful kimonos ranging from modern and funky to intricate and traditional. Accented with serene music and imagery, Kimono is a soothing break from a busy world.
