I’ve just played the first two chapters, and it already feels like I am making progress in finding myself; something I have been stuck on for years. The actual buy price seems a bit steep ($30ish one time for the lowest tier), but with just the free trial I’m thinking it might be worth it […]

This game used to be really cool and helpful until the developers, for some reason, decided to lock a big portion of the game behind the Elder pay wall. Before, it was optional and gave you some extra features. Now it’s REQUIRED to access the rest of the game. Unbelievable. What a way to ruin […]

This game is underwhelming, starting from the word go. The style is text adventure, with emphasis on the word text. The narration appears on the left , while the odd dialogue choice you make appears on the right. The story has a glacial meandering pace, that really sells the feel of psychoanalysis by an invisible […]

The art and the sound design were amazing. The concept is very cool. But I give this a low rating because from very early on, the options the game gave me are unrelated and unhelpful. I could not move forward in the story while being true to my own feelings, thus it felt less like […]

Got some serious skepticism about this one. This is a cool way to write a self-help book, but I wish it was more up-front about that. The first chapter is free (with a couple extra if you sign up) and then there are three paid tiers, and to buy all the content and unlimited saves […]

so far amazing, I want to continue Yes I’m waiting! I’m captivated by your app. Id probably keep going all night if I had access. I will not be able to upgrade at anytime do to financial issues. So if this is a ongoing thing needing to upgrade I’m gonna have to uninstall. Please understand […]

Not for me. I don’t jive well with being a protagonist given limited responses, because there’s often not an option that is correct for me. I also found out in the first dream that the idea of being stuck out in a blizzard terrifies me, so it really started me off on a bad foot […]

Just didn’t do anything for me. I didn’t feel connected to it. I kept seeing all these content warnings in the app, as if it might affect me somehow, but it was so pedestrian I was bored, waiting for something to connect with me. It never happened. If others are helped by this app, that’s […]

interesting, fun, thought provoking to a point. I wish we could put our own answer to any of the questions. maybe integrate some ai into this so it can adapt to our own answers provided, then I think 5* for sure. some of the options just aren’t answers I would give. other than that, the […]

Wow! Through a text-based adventure, I’m learning more about myself and learning valuable skills. And in the 4th “dream” (chapter), I actually got some healing from a memory from my childhood. It’s done so gently that it’s almost effortless. And afterwards they have additional resources – a summary of the dream, articles for deeper understanding, […]

Initially, I really fell in love with this app. It is really quite beautiful and unique. I was unfortunately not able to afford to pay for the upgrade so I did request a free spot, and it took quite a few days to get approved. Also, your free spot does NOT include the other resources […]

The free chapters left me wanting more. Amazing storytelling that encourages self reflection and growth. I really needed an app like this. It’s engaging, and while validating, it is also a bit challenging due to that inward looking aspect. I’m rambling, but what I’m trying to say is, it’s been a great way to end […]

The first couple dreams were interesting and entertaining. I enjoy introspection and having some structure to introspection can be nice. Ultimately though, when I was asked to categorize myself into one of 5 types, I felt pulled out a bit. I picked an option that felt ok at the time, but the questions that followed […]

Really wanted to like this app, but just wasn’t for me. Foremost, I appreciate that the devs offer a few free accounts that unlock the full chapters (but not resources) for those who can’t afford them. But, I agree with other reviews that it’s not clear that ch. 1 fully reflects the rest of the […]

I was honestly a little sceptical at first, there are a lot of apps similar that do an ok job but are very generalized and mostly stuff you’ve seen and heard before. This app takes that to a whole new level it walks you through stuff in a fun and non invasive way; it’s genital […]

This is the most amazing app for anyone struggling with mental health. the nonjudgemental and compassionate guide provides an infinitely safe space to explore what makes you you-what are your strengths, weaknesses, and even the things you love that you had forgotten underneath all the noise as well as healthily working through issues without pressure […]

this is the most effective mental health help I have ever used. it allowed me to see things from a perspective I never have before. I feel more confident and excited for changes I thought would never happen before this app. It’s had a better impact on my life than any therapy or medication ever […]

2 minutes into the game and it’s giving me anxiety instead of relieving it, first off, I slowed down the text as much as possible, they really need to put in 2 more levels of slower text, 2nd they need to have the text scrolling, every new text bubble is WAY too jarring when it […]

(3/5) September 18, 2025

After seeing this marketed as something to help with ADHD, I wasn’t expecting it to go in the direction it did. And I didn’t even start getting into it because it required a lot of focus. Then even setting it on the fastest speed wasn’t very fast, and I’m not a beginner to the stuff […]

I was enjoying the start of app. I had thought the first few sections were free; however, from the beginning you only get a little taste of what is offered & it has locked items you can’t get to without paying for an upgrade. I might have considered an upgrade but there is not enough […]
