Level Up Your Mental Health
In this experimental app, we fuse modern mindfulness techniques with casual gaming to create an engaging and innovative experience. Drawing inspiration from the popular Tamagotchi concept, we've added a unique twist: your virtual pet's growth hinges on your self-care efforts, emphasizing the importance of personal well-being in a fun and interactive way.
The Mindful Pet
Meet Urso, a miniature interstellar bear hailing from an evolved civilization. With 90% of its composition being pure consciousness, they thrive on mental energy to explore the world. By harnessing mindfulness techniques, Urso charges this vital energy source, propelling its journey of discovery and understanding.
Engage in mindful activities, such as meditation and breathing exercises, while nurturing positive habits to unlock exclusive rewards for your virtual companion. We've designed a variety of clothing items so that users can collect sets in one style or dress Urso according to their taste.
Urso Bear Biomes
In the realm of Urso, personalization is key. Customize elements such as terrain, flora, and even the sky's hue to manifest an external reflection of your inner landscape, making Urso's world uniquely yours.
We have developed a multitude of buildings and items in various colors and shapes. Items in Urso's world can range from simple to legendary types. All you need to do to obtain them is to continue engaging in self-care practices within the app.
We crafted an easy-to-follow onboarding experience that swiftly immerses users in Urso's world, core gameplay, and essential mechanics. By intertwining mindfulness cultivation with gamification, players remain motivated and engaged on their transformative journey towards self-improvement.
Numerous screens, elements, and icons have been designed for the app. We've thoughtfully planned interaction scenarios within real-time 3D scene and built an intuitive interface that supports users as they advance through their self-care routines.
Courses and Practices
Apart from bite-sized self-care practices, the app features comprehensive 10-day courses aimed at nurturing mindfulness and fostering healthy habits. To make these courses more captivating, we've crafted an array of illustrations that meld storytelling, gameplay, and user experience.
To be Continued
The mobile application is constantly evolving. Every day, we develop new elements, illustrations, and mechanics. Behind the scenes of this showcase, there is tremendous work on audio design, software development, and content creation. I invite you to see the current state of the application by downloading it from the App Store. Perhaps we've made it even more impressive.
