Urso is a mobile game that takes care of your mental health.
Our goal is to provide a simple tool that helps manage stress, improve sleep, develop beneficial habits, achieve inner peace, and find balance in life.
At the beginning of the game, the player creates a pet character that we call Urso. Urso resides on a magical island in outer space. As Urso explores the island, grows, and makes new friends, the player develops mindfulness skills.
The core mechanic of the game is the exploration of mindfulness practices through multimedia content. The player progresses through courses and lessons, earning an in-game resource called Energy ⚡️. Once a certain amount of energy is accumulated, Urso embarks on a Journey.
During these Journeys, Urso explores diverse locations. Each journey offers a unique setting and adventure, adding an element of randomness. Upon returning from a journey, Urso gains experience and rewards, and further develops their Island.
The "Journey" mechanic adds an interactive adventure element to the game, while regular mindfulness practices help the player take care of their mental health and manage stress, deriving satisfaction from their progress.
The game mechanics encourage regular engagement with mindfulness practices to acquire more in-game resources, develop the pet character, and expand the game world. This creates a cycle of progression, promoting sequential learning.
An important motivational aspect for the player is the ability to track their learning progress through the development of the island and character, as well as the rewards obtained from journeys. This allows the player to assess their achievements in developing mindfulness skills.
The primary method of learning is through multimedia lessons, compiled based on scientifically grounded self-help practices and presented in a structured course. These lessons include text and graphical explanations, as well as pre-recorded guided audio meditations.
In addition to the main instructional tracks, players have the opportunity to engage in short mindfulness exercises, such as breathing practices, simple physical exercises, mood and habit tracking, and other interactive tasks.
These exercises help players accumulate Energy for future Urso journeys or reduce the duration of the current journey if it is already active.
Social interaction plays an important role in our application, creating opportunities for users to engage with each other and foster a strong community. People can exchange gifts, expressing support and kindness.
Friends can track collective progress, share achievements, and inspire each other's growth and development.
