“Finally, a game that promotes (and reinforces) positive, long-term mental-health habits! It's enjoyable & the artwork is beautifully done. Daily goals are customizable, but there is a variety of preset goals to choose from to get you started. It's calming at the end of your day and refreshing at the beginning. Doesn't leave you frustrated and mentally depleted like most other games. Plus, magic kitties! ❤️😻” - Kat, Google Play Reviewer (March 8, 2023)
“It's clear that the people behind this app care about helping people. I am genuinely floored about how focused the game is on self-care and the player. This is especially apparent in the 'free trial' aspect of this app- none of the self-care elements are behind a paywall, and they have an entire system for people to donate full copies of the game to those in financial need. The game is reassuring and never unhealthily pressures. also the animation is so good. I'd say more but I have no more space.” - Celia, Google Play Reviewer (July 9, 2023)

Great app!! Amaru is animated so cutely, and the game reminded me that I am supposed to care about how I feel! Only thing I would add is more guided practices, there isn't as much variety there. Edit: recent updates have made the game even more enjoyable, with cat customizations no longer locked behind any sort of paywall, Amaru making adorable purring sounds, and players being rewarded for actually looking at the news feed, which only has exciting information! Love this thing.

Hey, did you know? Making people pay for a game that advertises as mental health support is amazingly cruel. If you need money that much, make a clicker game or something. I was also turned off by some of your replies to reviews, they seemed quite unprofessional and pretentious. Here's one, and I quote: "If you want to read negative eviews from three years ago to validate your opinion, that's fine. You're in the minority." that's umm 😬😬 not really the reply of someone I'd trust and support.

This game seemed beautiful, but the tutorial should have been broken up a lot more, it was extremely overwhelming to the point I don't want to start anymore
