Kinder World: Wellbeing Plants V1.16

Kinder World is an app focused on emotional well-being that aims to help users develop resilience and explore their emotions. It offers a judgment-free environment where users can engage in scientifically-supported well-being activities for just a few minutes, twice a day.

By simply acknowledging and labeling their emotions, users gain the power to decide how to manage them. Through engaging gameplay, Kinder World helps users discover the beauty in their own emotions, transforming feelings such as happiness and anger into something meaningful that they can keep to themselves or share with the like-minded community.

Joining Kinder World means embarking on a comforting journey towards enhanced emotional intelligence, surrounded by friendly non-playable characters (NPCs) and a supportive player community. By participating in short daily activities inspired by arts and crafts practices, users gradually unlock intriguing stories about Kinder World's setting and characters.

Self-care and habit-building can sometimes be challenging or even punishing, especially for those who are neurodivergent, disabled, or chronically ill. With this in mind, Kinder World has been developed with a commitment to a judgment-free ethos. The app recognizes that emotional wellness and mental health are deeply personal non-linear journeys, reflected in its mechanics, narrative, and community.

Proudly awarded the Australian Game Developer Awards 2022.
