Ratings and reviews

This game was already one of the best things I've ever played on my phone before I finally dropped the three dollars for the full version. Only had full version for a day but I don't regret anything. I don't really know what it is, but whoever wrote the bird's dialogue did so well. It's easy to make a character likable, but the bird is SAFE in a way that is honestly indescribable. Not to mention the graphics, the sound effects... It's all so completely comfortable. Incredible.

Lovely game!!! Beautiful visuals and music. It offers you a safe space to process loss over a loved one. It teaches you ways to appreciate your relationships in life and how to cherish the memories of your loved ones once they've passed. I changed my entire review because I really should've played All the way to the end before sending it. LOL game proved me wrong! And I'm so glad it did. 🧡🦜 Love to Chili (my bird) forever.

I feel to describe that I played this game that sat on my phone, collecting digital dust for the longest of time. I decided to try it out because I had a school assignment which encouraged me to play a game I hadn't previously. This neat, virtual pet, visual novel, little game is worth your time. The mechanics are comfy and cute. I wouldn't recommend spoiling anything, but if you do/did (like me) it doesn't ruin the experience. The full game, for a one-time low price tag, is completely worth it.
