As you do this, the ink blob increases in size while the ambient soundtrack increase, almost as if the ink and sound were swallowing you whole, enveloping you in their own simplicity so that no one could or would dare bother you.Īs your ink droplet starts to swallow the screen, Pause asks you to close your eyes, and from there you just keep going until the app is done with a session and rings a chime and your session is over. From here, you keep holding and touching the ink droplet, moving your finger very slowly on the screen. The app is pretty easy to work out and even offers instructions as you start, merely asking you to touch a spot of colour on screen that looks like an ink droplet. Instead, it is at once about staying focused on doing nothing, using the movements of your finger and a minimalist and ambient soundtrack to keep you on track to doing so little that you relax for more than a moment, possibly to the point where you managed to recharge yourself and your circuits. Pause isn’t a puzzle game, though, and it’s not your average way to take a break. That’s the general idea behind “Pause”, a slightly unconventional relaxation app from the team that made “Monument Valley”, a puzzle game that was even featured on the Netflix hit, “House of Cards”. Sometimes you just need to think of yourself, and sometimes you just need to take a break, even if it’s a small one. There’s so much to do and so little time, but those little moments where you just think about nothing are more or less a necessity. In a hurried world like our own, taking a breather can be harder than you might expect.
