The internet was once a place of exploration, curiosity, and connection through shared interests. Today, it often feels like an uncontrollable flood—where a lighthearted meme can be instantly followed by distressing news, intrusive ads, or personal updates, all collapsing into an overwhelming blur.

In response to this digital chaos, A Moment of Rest offers a series of three website games that invite users to pause, gently reconnect with themselves and others, and enjoy a moment of rest.



1. Cat Worm Utopia

A drawing tool where every line you draw turns into a fluffy, wiggling worm. These creatures create a quiet, simple world that invites fun and stress-free creativity.


When too many worms are drawn at once, they slowly drift off-screen to keep the scene from tangling into a ball of yarn.


2. Keyboard Buddha

A calm typing experience where each key you press plays a mantra sound. You can hear others typing in real time, creating a shared rhythm that feels peaceful and meditative.


The sounds and characters are synchronized in real time across all participants’ browsers.


3. Connect the Dot

A multiplayer connect-the-dot sheet where people work together to reveal hidden patterns. Players move slowly and thoughtfully, creating a quiet sense of connection through shared motion




A giant connect-the-dots sheet that can be panned across and zoomed into.

The experience is multiplayer, allowing participants to see each other’s cursors and connections in real time.
