Ratings and reviews

Worthwhile purchase I don't want to lie and say I was skeptical at first or anything of the sort, this game drew me in from the get-go. The art style is lovely, the overall tone is perfect, and it always draws me back in for the little interactions you can experience every day. I struggle with mental health severely, and this game touches on some hard topics with a light-hearted tone that I deeply appreciate and enjoy! Though I wish there was more to do, I understand why it is the way it is! ♡

I didn't realize how badly I needed this little oddball game (interactive friend??). It was the perfect find for needing something low key, unique, and no pressure to compete or grind. It's easy to get through the unique events each day in moments, but every day I remember to come back is something beautiful and different. An incredibly charming and artistic app!

This app is wonderful. I've tried other mental health pet apps in the past, but they were either too childish or uninteresting. I deleted them all and when I came across Bird Alone I almost didn't download it. I'm glad I did. Bird Alone is perfect. It's engaging and immersive without being overly complex or feeling like a chore. The personalization makes you feel deeply connected to the character, and the conversations and advice are integrated seamlessly into the game without sounding cliché.
