Hey people, I just installed Kind Words it today and I have to say this game is one of the best experiences so far. I do not know whether I should call it a game or something else.
Is there any Kind Writers around here?
I'd like to spread the word about this game, since it is so amazing and I really want for it to get more people in. :)

obligatory gid, but not this game, unfortunately
Kind Words giveaway thanks to nimblemongoose

and since the subject of this discussion as well as the topic of the 'Kind Words' is similar I would like to link another threads:

It's nice to hear back from people. Small things like that do matter.

I do try to avoid responding to any letters with heavy content, mainly because I wouldn't want to give irresponsible advice or hollow words.

I played some when I first got it, and it's pretty great. I haven't been back in a while, though. It can be a bit... heavy, I guess? So you have to be in the right frame of mind.

Don't know if it's still there, but I recall it being in Humble Trove.
Y'know, for those of you who have access to it, or may have access to it soon.

I was lucky to win a Kind Words GA a couple months ago, it's lovely. As they already said before, it can be heavy, so it's not that easy to just play it anytime.
Another thing that bother me, was that I was not so sure how to unlock new beats, and I had the same ones going on repeat and got a bit annoying. By any chance do you know how to unlock new beats?

Thanks for the GA :D

as far as I know they are changing every day, but still I often mute the music and turn on my spotify playlists. My fav bands to listen while playing it are: Mammal Hands, GoGo Penguin, Hania Rani and Hiromi :)

Interesting, I'm pretty sure one of the first times I got an answer, a notification popped saying I unlocked a new beat, but maybe I'm wrong. I usually listen to heavy metal but that's not the greatest fit for this game lol.

I played it and it's so incredibly wholesome. I never ran into any trolls. Def a good game to spread the word about :D

I've been a bit curious about this, and this thread pushed me over to purchase it. It's cheap enough, and maybe it's something nice to do while everyone is quarantined. ❤️✉️🦌

Greetings, this "game" really helped me get through some though times and at the same time I read about and responded to people going through similar situations in life. The feedback I got about something gave me some closure and I hope that with my feedback I was able to help some people. Just like you I am not sure if I should call it a game. Could also be a forum, but with a lot of positive people who give positive feedback. Lovely community and I highly recommended it to people who want to anomalously ask for advice, feedback etc or who want to spread some kindness.

Rootwater, would you like to add this giveaway to your initial post? I'm giving away two copies of the game, level 2 and up.

(I'd been planning to do this when I eventually purchased the game. But your thread prompted me to actually do it.)

Yep, a very nice game / experience / system / whatever. I've responded to many requests (or whatever they're called, I forget)...whenever I felt I something to add or contribute.
I wrote one 'request' from the perspective of a younger me when I could have used something like this, and was gratified to see the kind responses from folks.

I actually disliked that game. Installed it and read a few messages from random people that should rather seek counselling rather than 'advice' from strangers. It's a nice and wholesome idea, but a tad dangerous.

Many have sought counselling, and have either failed to find it, failed to find something that helped, ... And there are also a lot of others that don't really need that, just someone who'd listen. Responses from people who got replies are generally good and they say it's helped them.

You're not wrong, but I think there's still value in getting encouragement (and sometimes advice) from strangers.
In some of my responses, I've provided encouragement, but suggested they seek some form of (professional) counsel.

That's probably the way to go. I just ended up feeling a bit weird with some of the stuff I read and uninstalled.

I played a bit and really liked the concept of it. Most of the time everyone is too busy with their own life to stop and just listen so it's really nice to find a game where that's all you do.
The world certainly needs more kindness, the only thing though as other have stated is it can get a little heavy at time so if you are already depressed you need to be sure you're ready to read some hard stuff before diving in.

Yes, if you tend to internalize other people's problems, it can get heavy. But it's always useful just to send a quick note of encouragement even if you're not trying to solve their problem. Pick a few where you really have something to say/advise, and dig into those few.
Just my two cents. :)

I tried it last night to see what the fuss was. Unfortunately, the combination of the music and the Mail Deer forcing you to write something nice to them when you've only just met, was a bit too much. Kind words don't come easily for me, so I guess this just isn't for me.

It's certainly not for everyone. They are all complete strangers and the game (deliberately) doesn't let you get to know the person at all beyond what they write in their request. But for some, sending kind words (or simply encouragement) to strangers makes us feel good, like we are helping somebody.

It was more the fact that, because you don't know that someone, just saying nice/kind words doesn't seem meaningful. I'd rather give words that they need to hear rather than respectful platitudes.

Totally agree with this.
and for that reason, I am out of that game.

I suspect that for some, nice/kind words are meaningful, no matter what the source. Sometimes people just need encouragement, no matter what the source (well, as long as it seems honest and well-meaning).
Anyway, like I said, it's not for everyone. :)

I'm very interested in this game. I think the world needs more kindness from everyone, for everybody.

Here's a kind bump!
