Ratings and reviews

Loving it! Really simple, low-pressure way to record and examine my emotions and what's impacting them. The gameplay element adds motivation and interest but not competition or streak counts, so it's not overwhelming to maintain. You can use it daily or multiple times a day, or skip a few days with no penalty. There isn't a ton to do yet, but there's enough to be useful, and you can use it for free (though paid gets you more cosmetic items, better insight tracking and a bit more customization).

I'm new here, so it might get worse. It's cute, easy to understand and interact with, encourages me to use it, and I don't feel pressured to buy the premium. which is really good. it works as a mood tracker, which I was looking for, but also feels like so much more, without being overwhelming. Just try it. If it's not for you, you can always delete it.

I wanted to love this, but compared to Finch it's quite boring. There's very little you can do until you've been using it long enough to generate enough "coins" to buy clothes/furniture (and there's no catalog). I was excited about Stoic Mountain though; I love Stoicism. My biggest complaint is how small & desolate the fox looks in the empty bland bedroom; the viewing angle is a weird design choice. Nitpicky: the way text is generated when they're "speaking" is visually unpleasant.
