# About Koimori

Koimori is a gentle desktop idle companion for Windows and macOS. Tiny koi wander across the screen while their owner works, studies, or relaxes. The game is intentionally quiet: it avoids pings, urgent chores, punishment, and attention-grabbing progress bars. Players can interact when they feel like it and let the pond drift in the background when they are doing something else.

## How it began

Aurélien Dos Santos, an independent developer based in Toulouse, France, first made Koimori as a personal gift. Friends kept the early build running for days while they worked, which showed that its small, calming presence could be meaningful to more people. The project grew into a polished desktop application with better performance, more koi, feeding interactions, and focus-friendly ideas that preserve the original calm mood.

## Current status

Koimori is in active development for Windows and macOS. Its [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4202020) is open for wishlists, while the exact release date, price, and final progression design remain to be announced.
