What do people say about it?
“Wonderful, gentle support for working through loss.” – Common Sense Media
“Very calming game. I’m not that far into it yet, but I have anxiety problems, and it’s already definitely helping. It makes me feel so Zen, like nothing can bring my mood down. Though I haven’t lost a family member due to sickness, I have lost multiple friends and family due to other reasons… and I’m hoping maybe this app can help with that as well.” – Google Play user
“Last year I lost both my grandpa and a classmate… This app is peaceful and deals wonderfully with loss and illness.” – App Store user
“This game is beautiful. It helped me a lot in my time of need. It has calmed my anxiety down tremendously. The rock pool is so useful, I go there when I wake up to start my day nice and when I go to sleep. The stories are my favorite part, I listen to one whenever I can. Thank you for this game, I love it so much.” – Google Play user
