A journey of growth and loss with a best friend.

Maybe this bird won't be so lonely after all.

Ratings and reviews

So the free part is a very real telling of what the pay to play part is like. My biggest problems with the game: the background music sounds like a truck backing up (it hurts my ears). The game doesn't pile up the to-do things when I miss a day. It's quite annoying. More colors. Sound is really important to this game so the main theme being so aggravated is awful. But the game is quite relaxing and has you do little things to get your mood up or to remember you have good things in this life.

1. Prompting you to pay to continue after a few days is not great. 2. I love the narrative, I think it's beautiful, but I don't know if an app that appeals to people that are lonely and need some sort of companion really is the right demographic to push such a story on, with the bird dying at the end. I'd like to see this app redesigned with mood tracking as it's focus, more casual and light hearted.

I finally bought the full version, thus game is my soul now. kinda like my new self care app. love my little bird. I do wish that when painting we could change the size of the brush, and I also wish that the trial was a bit longer, but in all, my favorite game ever, and I totally recommend buying the full version, it's worth it
