Kinder World is an emotional wellbeing app designed to help users build resilience and explore their own emotions. Take care of virtual houseplants in a judgment-free environment by completing scientifically-backed wellbeing activities for just a few minutes at a time, twice a day.
Just by noticing and naming the emotions you feel, you gain the power to choose what to do with those emotions. Through tactile gameplay, Kinder World helps you to reveal the beauty in your own emotions. Turn your feelings, from happiness to anger, into something beautiful and meaningful that can be kept for yourself or shared with our like-minded community.
Join our cast of friendly NPCs and our welcoming player community on a comforting journey toward enhanced emotional intelligence. Complete short, daily activities inspired by arts & crafts practices, and slowly unlock compelling stories about Kinder World’s setting and characters.
Self-care and habit-forming can feel frustrating or even punishing at times, especially for neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill people. That’s why Kinder World is built upon a judgment-free ethos. We recognize that emotional wellness and mental health are non-linear and deeply personal journeys, so our mechanics, narrative, and community have all been designed to support that.
