Unique & Creative

After playing this game for some time and participating in the new updates and revisions I can honestly say this game is amazing and is so helping for anyone who is struggling with mental health issues.

This game was like an outlet for my emotions. The journaling aspects helped me process what I was feeling and taught me how to see things in different perspectives. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is struggling physically or emotionally.

Dear Jess120847- Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review about Shadow`s Edge! it is great to hear you love the journaling prompts! We will be adding more journaling prompts! Thanks again and hope you continue to enjoy playing!

This game is great!

I've been struggling with depression for the past three years, and this app has been really uplifting for me during rough times. It is very soothing, where you can write in your journal, and it gives you entries. It has hidden messages and advice to help you. And you can be creative with graffiti and have a whole digital world to yourself! You can even post messages with a picture of your graffiti, and share with other players your thoughts, or anything you feel like sharing. Since you are sort of saving the world through making it bright and colorful again with graffiti and finding journal pages, it gives you a sense of accomplishment for going through your feelings and being creative. Because of this, it gives you healthy ways of dealing with your feelings. I highly recommend it for any age, adults, teens, and even children who are struggling with anything mentally, even if you are just angry or sad and need a healthy outlet. Even if you aren't a writer or artistic this app is still very enjoyable and usable for you.

Top performance, realistic spots

Much like the real world, painting in this teaches you composition skills and depth to what your doing. Stress relieving and satisfying! A great way to develop style and proportion!

Dear Ryansabotage - thank you ! We are going to add the option for advanced artists to create art challenges for other players - it will take a few more months - but hope you will teach others what you have found out! Please subscribe as play tester at feedback@shadowsedge.com if you are interested to test that! Thank you so much again for your kind words!

A must for those with chronic illlness

This app is extraordinary for anyone with a chronic illness that is looking to transform the way that they express themselves whether they’re using art or journaling. The creativity in self-expression on this app is bound to provide a much more meaningful opportunity to learn about themselves and also eliminate the possibility of self-harm in the process
