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.”

I love Amaru so far! The winged kitties are so cute and the guided exercises have actually really been helping me. Right now I just have the free version, but it actually gives you access to quite a bit. I like that it's customizable, you get to choose which exercises you want and when to do them. If you struggle with some minor depression or anxiety I highly recommend this app.

All around a great app. Pricey, but that's understandable given that you're buying 3 people's access + your own, and that this is developed by individuals. I'd give it 4/5 because - some features are confusing (didn't know how to rewatch chapters until I joined the Discord); a lot of the FAQ are quite helpful though - it'd be great if there were more meditation exercises, but the current ones are already pretty good - there's no way to transfer between Apple and Android

Truly a helpful tool for helping one learn to meditate, journal, and just relax and let things go. All paired with a cute little game of getting to take care of an adorable winged cat. There are mini games too if you need to take your mind off things but you don't have to rely on those to make progress and there's no pressure at all to use any micro transactions which are purely aesthetic.
