About this game

Amaru is here to support your self-care!

Feed, pet, customize, and play minigames with the adorable Amaru while being rewarded for taking care of yourself! The game contains engaging goal-setting, mindfulness, and journal activities that provide a fun way to build focus and resilience to stress, anxiety, and depression.

Explore the mysterious world of Enso to earn Collectibles, unlock Amaru’s story, and help him find his way home!

“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! ❤️😻”

“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)

love the app so far. I haven't payed for the golden key but will. you can change the color of your amaru and the pattern its really cool. its kinda like a Journaling app you also do breathing meditation and other stuff like that. I also want to add that i think it would be a cool idea to make this game able to be a widget on your home screen. I feel it would help pay attention to it more and keep up with goals.

so far, I really enjoy the thoughtfulness that went into the game creation. This motivates me to create a regular mindfulness routine, and also offers a positive use of my phone. I will find myself turning on my phone for dopamine after stepping away from social media, news, and time wasting games, and this app continues to find my attention and steer me back right again. Give it a chance, learn to configure your amulet and goal setting in a meaningful way, and I know you will benefit

The thing that drew me to this app is that you get a really cute cat-like creature, with hand-drawn animations. I haven't explored the app extensively so far, but it has cute little games, customizable goals, and achievable goals for the daily streak. Nothing overly complex, it's pretty straightforward, but it serves its purpose well. Dunno how well it'll last over months, but I'm enjoying it right now.

Glad you're enjoying it. The game is designed for about 45-60 days of play although some players have reported 1000 day streaks.
