Time to *breathe a sigh of relief* as the good people at Catomayke have just released And Just Breathe on Itch.io. Perfect timing for the chaos currently endured on this planet we call NowWhat.

Isn’t it mad that a lot of us can’t get something as fundamental as breathing right? In, out, shake it all about, but in reality, we’re not breathing at our optimum – most likely due to stress. There are other factors, of course, but for this news piece, let’s just say it’s stress.

Fear not: this little slice of Zen takes place in a Japanese garden – not a modern one of paving slabs or dirt, but the classic ones you may associate with Japan if you’ve never been. Ryōyanji is a must. Type in the coupon code ‘Google’ in your browser to do your research.

And Just Breathe - Relaxing
Relaxing… Source: Itch.io

The purpose of And Just Breathe, as if it wasn’t in the title, is to locate ornaments in the gardens with anxiety-reducing techniques as you learn to breathe correctly, relax your muscles and practice some positive-thinking exercises.

We can use the topics of today to verify the need for this title, but in reality, there’s always time for you, and as patronising as it may sound, breathing correctly and learning these relaxation skills are a must for anyone.

Watch this!

You can grab yourself a copy of And Just Breathe over on Itch now. No need to run a bubble bath as this will suffice.
