I didn't realize how badly I needed this little oddball game (interactive friend??). It was the perfect find for needing something low key, unique, and no pressure to compete or grind. It's easy to get through the unique events each day in moments, but every day I remember to come back is something beautiful and different. An incredibly charming and artistic app!

This app is wonderful. I've tried other mental health pet apps in the past, but they were either too childish or uninteresting. I deleted them all and when I came across Bird Alone I almost didn't download it. I'm glad I did. Bird Alone is perfect. It's engaging and immersive without being overly complex or feeling like a chore. The personalization makes you feel deeply connected to the character, and the conversations and advice are integrated seamlessly into the game without sounding cliché.

Lovely game!!! Beautiful visuals and music. It offers you a safe space to process loss over a loved one. It teaches you ways to appreciate your relationships in life and how to cherish the memories of your loved ones once they've passed. I changed my entire review because I really should've played All the way to the end before sending it. LOL game proved me wrong! And I'm so glad it did. 🧡🦜 Love to Chili (my bird) forever.
