I would recommend adding a few videos with more information on your landing page. Even the Steam page just has screenshots. Obviously it's a free game so you're not concerned about sales in the monetary sense, but it would "sell" the game more to have some videos included.

Hey, the steam webpage states:<p>&gt; Evidence-based and community certified.<p>While I&#x27;m convinced this kind of stuff can help,I wonder what kind of evidence and certification you can build on that kind of game. I didn&#x27;t find any documentation on the website.<p>Care to share more ?

Out of the gate, the privacy policy looks pretty bad for something that&#x27;s supposed to <i>reduce</i> anxiety.

I really think that the ability for games to relax and de-stress is clear (at least from my anecdotal standpoint). This get bonus points for gamifying some meditative and deep breathing techniques.<p>On the other hand, I always worry about the &quot;escapism&quot; of video games in the way they might provide a safer and more comforting activity than tackling the real problems that lead to the stress and anxiety.<p>That being said, all this looks great! You should get a video of gameplay (or at least provide some sort of &quot;what games are these&quot; information so that people can explore them without having to download another app. I simply don&#x27;t know enough about the game to download another app without more information!

You wanna talk about videogames to reduce stress and anxiety, Ferry Halim&#x27;s Orisinal Games were perfect for that. No need to install anything or give anyone your info, simple controls, cute concepts, pacing that started off slow. Too bad they relied on Flash and are gone now...

I get the &quot;This app is not available for any of your devices&quot; that Play store very unhelpfully never explains. Any guesses why?

Health care, even low stakes stress reduction video games, and &quot;powered by AI&quot; should be as far apart as possible imo

When sound is disabled, there&#x27;s indeed no sound... until I hit the back button. When I hit the back button, I get a blast of sound for 1 second.
