Kinder World: Wellbeing Plants on Windows Pc

Kinder World is an emotional wellbeing game designed to help users better respond to their own emotions through gentle gameplay and a wholesome story. You’ll get to grow your own virtual houseplants by completing mindful check-ins with yourself for no more than 2 minutes, twice a day.

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 mental health is a non-linear and deeply personal journey, so our mechanics, narrative, and community have all been designed to support that.

Step into the Woodlands, Kinder World’s virtual universe, where kindness literally makes the world go round. The Woodlands is a judgement-free space, where you’re invited to be your authentic self and feel your emotions fully - no matter how painful or pleasant your feelings may be.

You’ll begin your emotional wellbeing journey in your very own Woodlands home. Just by noticing and naming your emotions, you’ll gain the power to choose what to do with those emotions. As you practise naming your emotions every day, you’ll develop the skills to manage and respond to your moods and feelings.

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, decorate all sorts of cozy rooms, and slowly unlock compelling stories about Kinder World’s setting and characters.
