Amaru: The Self-Care Pet

Amaru is a virtual pet game designed to support self-care and mental well-being. By feeding, petting, and customizing the adorable Amaru, you are rewarded for taking care of yourself. The game includes engaging goal-setting, mindfulness, and journal activities that provide a fun way to build focus and resilience to stress, anxiety, and depression.

Explore the mysterious world of Enso to earn collectibles, unlock Amaru's story, and help him find his way home. The game features beautiful hand-drawn animation that evolves as your bond grows stronger, along with a goal-setting system that rewards you for self-care. Journaling modes promote free expression and support well-being, while over 20 guided breathing and mindfulness meditation recordings scientifically shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression are available with voicing and subtitles.

Enjoy fun, low-pressure mini-games with Amaru, gorgeous environments with unique, relaxing soundscapes like ocean waves or falling rain, and over 100 lore-rich items revealing details about the fantasy world of Enso and its inhabitants. Hundreds of player-submitted affirmation messages brighten your day. All self-care features are completely free, and the game contains no ads. If you have financial need, you can apply for a free copy through the Keys for Those in Need Program.
