It's nice for what it's meant to do, but of course, it's limited. You can make art on here, just, I mean, it's not a piece of paper, and my screen is small, so yeah. It's really nice not to be pressured too, unlike many other apps (for instance, if you don't log in one day, the character tells you it's perfectly fine). I basically only took one star out because painting on the walls can be a little complicated sometimes, which can get one annoyed. But it works really great overall

This is an amazing concept and I love most of the execution. However, I was having a problem collecting a page in Disillusionment so I uninstalled and reinstalled the game in hopes it would fix it. I have an account but when I logged back in it synced me to level 6 in the begining of the game when I had been level 20-something and well into it. I'm still giving 5 stars cause I love the game but this setback made me a little disheartened.

An amazing tool for anyone feeling a bit lonely theses days and need to keep going in their pursuit of being lonely. Had a problem with the keyboard but saw you are working on it. I'd love a bit more personalisation, such as naming guardians or having a journal separate from other feature to vent and more. (If it already has this, sorry, first 2 days of using it)

This is a great game, and I'd love to give it 5 stars. There are just a few things that would make it better. The graffiti can be kind of finicky, and it's also annoying that you can't erase. It would also be nice if the walls were labeled, as it would make the missions where you need to paint a specific wall easier. It's also frustrating that you can't access wisdom exercises after you do them the first time. I accidently skipped one, and now I can't recess it. Otherwise, it's a great game.

More stressful than anything. The app is a neat concept but it is so frustrating to create the graffiti that it stresses me out even more. Want to erase? You can't. Oh ok, want to redo? You can but only to a certain point for some strange reason. You can't redo everything that you drew nor can you just cancel...This makes drawing really frustrating so I uninstalled.

I liked the game when I first played it, but i got a new phone and apparently cant load my old game. Having to redo all the intro stuff and not being able to keep my old writings is kind of a bummer, I probably wont continue playing the game because of that. Too bad, I really liked it.

The game is beautiful and well made. There are some good thoughts in there. I like that you can see your progress and that thinking about my day has a cool impact on the city. It is very visual, the drawings, the lighting, the characters. really cool

A wonderful app! I feel like this game is for anyone of any age who wants to be consious of their mental health and aim for self improvement. It has breathing exercises to help with feeling overwhelmed, journal prompts about self love and coping mechanisms, and a whole city you can go graffiti everywhere whether you have art skills or not! There is something so theraputic to me about being "creatively destructive" and this is a perfect outlet for that! :)
