Calm Corner
A soft pet and a shelf of quiet toys

Calm Corner is a cosy toy with no score, no timer and nothing to get wrong. A plush bunny, kitten or bear cub comes to the corner a little out of sorts, and the child plays with eight gentle toys from the shelf beside it: a glitter jar, a pop-it, a rainy window, a music box and more. When the pet settles down, a star floats up and a small gift arrives.

About the game

The game opens on a corner of a room at night: a tent with cushions, a string of lights, the moon in the window. In the middle sits the pet the child chose, with a small picture in a thought bubble that shows what is bothering it. Along the bottom is a shelf with eight toys. Tapping one opens it full screen, with the pet watching from the corner of the screen.

Every toy is something to touch slowly. Glitter swirls after the finger, pop-it bubbles press in with a soft note, raindrops run down a foggy pane. Whatever the child does, the pet only ever gets cosier, and after a few minutes it closes its eyes. There are no wrong moves and nothing to read.

What is inside

The night corner with a lilac bear cub named Pip, a thought bubble above it and the shelf of eight toys below

A pet comes to the corner

Each visit starts with the pet arriving in one of four moods: things are too loud, too fast, it is sad, or it is not sleepy yet. The mood is shown as a picture in a thought bubble and in the way the pet sits. Two toys on the shelf glow softly as a hint that this pet would like them, but any toy works.

The pet's picture changes gradually from upset to content as the child plays. Trying a new toy helps a little, and so does every second spent with one. Nothing the child does can make the pet feel worse.

The pet picker with a lilac bunny, three species, three coat colours and twelve name buttons

Nine pets and twelve names

The pet is chosen on its own screen: a bunny, a kitten or a bear cub, each in three coat colours, which makes nine pets. Under the pet are twelve ready-made names to tap, from Pip and Momo to Poppy and Teddy, so there is nothing to type. The paw button in the corner brings this screen back whenever the child wants a different pet.

The Glitter Jar with gold stars swirling in pink water, six charms and five water colours to choose from

Eight toys on the shelf

Each toy is a small simulation with its own synthesised sound, and each has a few things to change.

  • Breathing Bubble: a big bubble that grows and shrinks slowly, at three paces
  • Glitter Jar: stir with a finger, flick to shake, or tilt and shake the phone; six charms and five water colours
  • Pop-It: press every bubble for a soft note, then flip the board to start again; six shapes and five colour themes
  • Rain Window: wipe the fog with a finger while drops run down and join; four views
  • Slow Stroke: stroke the pet's fur with a brush and it purrs
  • Night Light: three lamps with a dimmer ring to turn up and down
  • Lullaby Music Box: draw circles to turn the crank and the tune plays note by note
  • Sand Tray: draw lines with a rake of one, three or five prongs, then smooth the sand over
The Rain Window with fog wiped away in a zigzag, a garden behind it and four views below, two of them locked

Things that open up over time

Some choices inside the toys are locked at first and open as more pets have settled. The Rain Window starts with a rainy garden and a night sky; a meadow arrives after 3 settles and a snowy view after 6. The Night Light starts with the moon lamp; the star lamp arrives after 4 and the mushroom lamp after 8. The Pop-It starts with a circle, a heart and a star; the flower comes after 5, the cloud after 7 and the paw after 9.

A locked choice shows a small padlock. There is nothing to buy and no way to hurry it.

An opened gift: a yellow star cushion, with a cross to keep it for later and a tick to place it

A star and a gift

When the pet has settled, a star floats up into the sky and a wrapped box appears. Three taps open it. Inside is the next of 16 gifts, always in the same order: 12 decorations for the corner and 4 cosy things for the pet to wear. The tick puts the gift straight into the corner or onto the pet; the cross keeps it for later.

A second pet drops by to sit next to the first one after each settle. Once a day there is also a daily gift box beside the pet.

The corner editor with eight filled places, a bunny in a pink scarf with a visiting bear, and the tray of decorations

Decorating the corner

The My corner button opens an editor. Eight dashed circles mark the places where things can go: two up high, three in the middle and three on the floor. The child taps a decoration in the tray to place it, drags it to another circle to move or swap it, or drags it back to remove it. The bottom row of the tray holds the cosy things, and tapping one puts it on the pet.

The camera button on the main screen takes a picture of the corner as it looks right now and saves it to the album.

Bedtime mode: the bunny in a blue nightcap asleep on a round bed in front of the tent

Bedtime mode

The moon button offers three lengths: 5, 10 or 15 minutes, drawn as one, two or three moons. The pet moves to a round bed, the lullaby plays slowly by itself and the screen dims. No clock or countdown is shown. Over the last 20 seconds the sound fades to silence, and the screen ends dark with a moon and the word Goodnight. A tap brings the corner back.

How to play

  1. Press Play, pick a bunny, kitten or bear cub, a coat colour and a name.
  2. Look at the thought bubble, then tap any toy on the shelf. Two of them glow as a hint.
  3. Play slowly: stir the jar, press the pop-it, wipe the window, turn the crank.
  4. Switch toys from the strip at the top whenever you like.
  5. When the star floats up, tap the gift box three times to open it.
  6. Put the gift in the corner or on the pet, then rearrange things in My corner.
  7. Take a photo for the album, or press the moon for bedtime mode.

For parents

Calm Corner is a toy, not a game with goals. The child touches things and watches them move: glitter, raindrops, sand, a lamp getting dimmer. A pet sits nearby and gradually looks more content. There is no score, no timer, no losing and no reading, and a visit with one pet takes about three to five minutes. It is made for quiet play and makes no promise about how a child will feel afterwards. As the note in the app says, it is nicest together with a grown-up.

Hold the moon on the title screen for three seconds to open the Grown-ups corner. There you can set the sound to off, low or medium, switch off the background music, turn on Calm motion to stop floating and bobbing on screen, hide the pet so that only the toys remain, change the language, or start over. Some children dislike particular sounds such as rain or purring; the sound button is on every screen.

The app works fully offline. It has no ads, no purchases, no account, no chat and no links out, it asks for no Android permissions and collects nothing. The photos in the album are pictures of the game's own corner, not camera photos. Everything is saved on the device only. There are 20 interface languages, chosen automatically, and all sound is synthesised.

Questions and answers

What age is Calm Corner for?

Ages 3 to 9. There is nothing to read and nothing that needs quick fingers, so the youngest can play alone, though it is nicest with a grown-up alongside.

Is this a relaxation or wellbeing programme?

No. It is a toy for quiet play: soft pets and gentle things to touch. It makes no claim about a child's mood, behaviour or sleep and is not a replacement for professional support.

How long does a session last?

A pet settles after roughly three to five minutes of play. The child can stop at any moment, and bedtime mode runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes and then goes quiet by itself.

Does it work offline, and are there ads?

It works without any connection and makes no network calls. There are no ads and nothing to buy; gifts and new lamps, views and shapes arrive by playing.

Does the album use the camera?

No. A photo is a small picture of the in-game corner. The app has no camera permission and cannot see the device gallery.

Can I make it quieter or less busy?

Yes. The sound button on every screen steps through three levels, and the Grown-ups corner can switch off the music and turn on Calm motion, which stops floating and bobbing.

Is progress saved?

Yes, on the device only: the pet, gifts, corner layout, photos and settings. Start over in the Grown-ups corner erases it, and so does uninstalling the app.
