AMAZING

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

amazing app

i’ve been using this to help cope with depressive thoughts at night and overall to deal with depression and anxiety. i really love the storyline and this app has actually helped me do things that i usually don’t want to do in therapy like writing down my feelings and breathing exercises. this is a really great app that really helps in dealing with mental health issues and i hope as many people find it as possible :)

Hello Sharklover! Thank you so much for your review of Shadow’s Edge game and the 5stars. The team is happy to learn that the game is helping you. We are very pleased, to hear your words, Shadow’s Edge is here to help people with mental health well-being at their own pace, and at any time. If you would like to help us test a beta version for the community feature, please get in touch via feedback@shadowsedge.com for more details. Warm regards.

I love it

As someone who deals heavily with anxiety and depression this game is amazing. I can just sit and paint the city while thinking and I’ve noticed my thoughts will create some cool designs. So great app!

I love how helpful this is. I’m 22 almost 23...

I love this app. There isn’t one out there like this. I would love an iMessage stickers with this. It could help promote others to this app. I love how this is totally free and doesn’t have ads (please don’t add ads to this). Maybe a fun idea would to be able to pay for some of the art and pages you’ve worked on. I think if that was ever in talks I would make it $1 for those who want to see/show off their artwork and I would love to see this on the Nintendo Switch and buy it for $5 and I think that could be a fun cool unique idea. Keep up the great work and I hope this has more stories coming soon.

Hi KrazyKhol20, Thank you for this amazing review of Shadow's Edge. We love your idea for an iMessage sticker. Please check in with us about that via feedback@shadowsedge.com. Our project is a non-profit and therefore have chosen to take transactions out of the equation. While it is a great idea, it does come with a lot of development to implement a trading and payment system. But we will put the suggestion on our wishlist because you never know, we can think about it again in our future roadmap. Happy playing and please get in touch with us.

Sincerely Helpful!!!!

When in need of personal discovery, some casual art time or directed meditation, I turn to the wondrous world of Shadow’s Edge to calm me of my nerves. I love how my artistic touch is added on the walls of the city and the informational questions let me think about the person I want to be. I very highly recommend this game to anybody trying to understand themselves.

Mental health app review

I’m part of a team that rates and reviews mental health apps and this is one of the top gamified health apps I’ve ever seen. It’s so good that I decided to write this review as it allows me to be more personal. This app is highly engaging, allows personalization and creativity all while combatting mental health.

It reduces the stigma that most teens face when taking measures for mental health help due to its ‘cool’ content. I also especially like it’s skateboarder/graffiti underground vibe given that most kids turn to that lifestyle(deviancy) when feeling unaccepted by society and family. Pure Genius. Therefore I encourage parents of children who are or may be heading towards that path to take this game into consideration.

While this game would have been ranked very highly on our site due to its content and experience of development team, Digging Deeper lacks publicity of Shadow Edges’ research. You state in many areas the findings of your research and development however there is no published research papers displayed anywhere (even after thorough research). Please publish such research and display it public for a more comprehensive score.

5/5 on here because the App Store isn’t meant for research ratings or scores.

Dear jmentalhealth, thank you so much for your kind review! The team is super happy to hear this! We are receiving the formal outcome from a one year clinical trial at Lurie Children's Hospital this month (November 2020) and this will be published at several conferences next year. We will also publish our in-house research in the coming months. Please drop us a note at feedback@shadowsedge.com if you are interested so we can send you the reports. Thank you again & warm regards! Kevyn Eva for the Shadow's Edge Team

Really Eye Opening.

This game has a pretty unique story in which you go to fill a dark, gray world with talent and color once again with your own masterpieces. The writing in the black journal gives you a place to quickly reflect on all sorts of different types of personal feelings, all in your pocket or bag. I enjoy my time with this app, and I hope to find more like it!

Can’t register

It says registration failed any time I try to set up an account. And it asks for a study code... what’s a study code?!

Just incredible...!!

Superb visuals, smooth as butter... and very addictive... fun to play...

Who knew journaling could be such fun?!

Guys, this game is fun, personal, creative, edgy, creative (did I say that?) but most importantly: EMPOWERING! Give it a try and spread the word.
