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 if I can fit it into my budget.
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 a great game.
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 psych 1 student fresh from class and trying hard to put you in a box. The game tries to beg you for 20 dollars to upgrade at every moment it can. There's more, but I'm out of letters.
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 personal exploration and more like being gas lit by someone telling me that I'm weak and insecure. There were no options for someone self-certain. I find that disturbing if the game is supposed to empower people.
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 it's around fifty dollars. If you'd drop that on a fancy self-help journal, give it a shot. I wouldn't waste my money though - vibes are a bit dodgy.
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 I absolutely love the app, beside needing money part, great concept. And I have been trying to figure out where I lost myself and find me again. I feel stuck in a stagnant ponds and not sure what to do!
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 by unexpectedly triggering my anxiety. I can see how this story format could be helpful for some people, but after completing the free dreams, it seems I'm just not one of them.
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 cool for them. I was unaffected and unimpressed. I even used my expensive headphones to be as immersed as I could be. Still did nothing for me.
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 visuals are well laid out, I can feel the cold, then the slight warm up coming. I can see the things referenced in the distance. I'd say I'm immersed in the experience. first time playing a game like this.
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, and a place to write a short journal entry about that dream. Everyone can benefit from this!
