Kairos: In Step with Time

An eight-minute interactive game

Kairos: In Step with Time is an experimental PC game built around sound-led interaction and ideas from the I Ching. You move through a compressed cycle of a life, making six responses as time drifts and the cosmos slips out of order. There’s no ordinary winner, score, or way to lose.

Calibrating the time ring

You adjust a time ring to bring the sun, Earth, the solar terms, and the twelve sovereign hexagrams back into alignment. At each decisive moment, you set down a single line. The game connects these actions to a time model based on the I Ching, including its twenty-four solar terms and six-line structure.
