The Bear

The game is unplayable for me because if you leave the screen for a while, the app starts over from the home screen and does not save where you were. For a game with such a slow pace, trying to replay back to the same spot is far too frustrating after the game has done this a couple times.

Now maybe this doesn’t sound or look like your kind of game, but give it a shot. At least try the first chapter to see if you like it.

Beginning this game, I was immediately hooked with the two factors of gameplay and storytelling. The beginning grabbed my attention. I like the bear character, I hope the next chapters tell more about Bear. Although, I will not be purchasing the rest of the chapters. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted to go through the rest. But $2.99 (correct me if this wasn't the right price) for a few short chapters is ridiculous. Even if this is talented storytelling, it should only be a couple cents to a dollar. For these pros and cons, I will be leaving a 3 star review on this app.

This game is deep, Beautiful and just a good game over all 10/10

I love this game but I can’t pay for it

Okay, I have literally never left a review before for pretty much anything ever. This game was so relaxing and the art was so creative. The story was my favorite part. I am a therapist for teens struggling with their mental health and so much of this game felt relatable on the topics we discuss. I’m not sure if you were trying to explain empathy, love, and grief, but you hit the nail on the head! And you displayed making meaning out of those things so well (which is a skill we try teaching)! I can’t wait to play this game as a mindfulness group with them! I literally was having such a bitter sweet sob at the end of this! And the firefly story, ugh, that’s how I feel about some of my kiddos really struggling with suicidal ideation. I’ll never know once they are discharged if they were able to fly with their healed wings or not. Such a great app, especially if you are able to truly appreciate it!

The mobile game landscape is maybe the least artistic sphere of creation out there but of course every medium has potential and the bear taps into a soft and comfortable sadness that brings unparalleled accessibility to a quality story experience. With clear inspiration from children's stories like the little prince it tackles complex subjects in a beautiful and simplistic way that anyone can enjoy. I hope this is a turning point for mobile games. Thank you to the people who worked on the game for demonstrating the medium’s potential.

It’s super fun I love it one I think I don’t like is the you have to buy it but it’s still good.🫶🏽

My opinion about this game it was good for the first chapter and then I had to pay money. I didn’t pay the money because I ain’t that rich even if it was like $3 I don’t got money like that then why would you make a game, but you make money out of it like I can understand for like maybe a buff or something, but we are trying to play a game and the game was really fun. You gotta pay money for the second chapter. I think that’s stupid because I wanted to know what else happened. I know the sister died or passed away, but I wanted to know that myself and then you made me when you tried to make me pay money that I didn’t have. I’m only giving three stars maybe because I don’t think that is right and said you should’ve made people pay for the whole game $3 before so you can get all of the chapters already so it will be worth it or you should’ve caught the demo, that people only could try once and we would’ve known that before we actually play the game and liked I started liking it because what happened? You started playing game and you started liking it and then you found out that you had to pay for the tractor or the second season, come on come on

I like the story genre but I liked the bear thing the most sadly I don’t feel like paying for the full game but it was cool while it lasted
