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.”
- Celia, Google Play Reviewer (July 9, 2023)

I've been playing for a while without a golden key to unlock the rest of the game and its incredible how I finally found a game that helps me keep peace in mind and give a little structure to my life. even if I can't get the full game right now and I want to save up for it because the devs honestly deserve every penny. thank you for such an amazing experience<3

I cannot express how amazing this app is, and not just for people who have the money to buy the whole store— it's only $10 USD, but you can ask to be gifted one, all you have to do is 'wait in line'. The only thing that would make this app better is a bit more wiggle room for personalization/details. I love the simple setup, but a bit more individuality would be great.

Amaru is my favorite virtual pet. It's great bc it can be as simple or complex as I want, there's a lot of stuff that can be used but you have to initiate the meditation or whatever. The games run really smooth, and Amaru is super customizable and cute. it's not demanding like some apps. overall very nice
