Incredible Game

I first installed this game back in 2023 during the lowest part of my life. I didn’t expect it to help much but boy was I wrong. This game was an easy tool for me to access to help me get over my anxiety and urges, not to mention the artwork and storytelling is just out of this world. I’m just now deciding to revisit it and even now it’s still so fun and enjoyable. This game is good for everyone, whether you’re struggling or not. 10/10, highly recommend

Incredibly amazing gameIncredibly amazing game

Love it!

I love this app! I try to use it every day, and Amaru is just so cute! Im so excited for the sequel! I have one suggestion: I think you should make Amaru’s eye color customizable. This app is deserving of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Edit:maybe also make spa tokens easier to get? Not everyone has friends apparently 😆

Edit for the latest update: I used to feed Amaru until it said he wasn’t hungry anymore, but now I can feed him forever, even after his bond is maxed out for the day. Is this a bug or an intended feature?
