MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds3 of 412 reviews

AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Hey, In my opinion i think its a nice lovely game but it can use some improvments, I always open this game on my lowest points or when im overthinking " silly things for my age " like not having much friends or feeling lonely or losing a friend or having a hard time with uni...etc, i sat here for more than an hour to look at some reviews and tbh i saw some ppl come here expecting that all ur problems will go away...

It's a good place to get help and offer help, if you have good intentions. The problem is that new users are coming in who don't seem to understand it's not a place to lecture people seeking help. It's called "Kind Words". Not "Let Me Soapbox To You About Your Problem". Not "You Just Need Some Tough Love." If you're one of those people who gets off on their own opinion, do everybody a favor and don't bother with...

It's perfect to write about your feelings and it feels good to get respond from people who understands you. I wish we can write back to the person who reply us. Maybe we can add each other friends and text each other whenever we want. Some people who can see each other can be bff after all.
