App #SelfCare simulates a full day without getting out of bed
Another application aimed at well-being, in this case encourages users to stay in bed, offering various relaxing activities.There are several applications that stimulate relaxing activities, but #SelfCare goes a step further by transforming the bedroom, more specifically the bed, into an authentic well-being altar. The Tru Luv proposal offers several activities to relax, without the pressure of scores or competitions, interacting with the elements of the scenario with just a few touches on the device screen.The production team conceived an audiovisual experience that promotes relaxation, whether it's the pastel color palette of the created scene, the modern decoration, and all the objects you need at the edge of the bed. And then there's a zen sound component, with erudite music, where you just miss the smell of incense - but that can be solved if you're at home while enjoying the application.
Among the activities you can do breathing exercises, wake the cat that is stretched out to the bottom bed, read the tarot cards or water a plant. As you develop these activities, others will be added, without you even having to get out of bed - in the game - always in a chill out environment.You can download #SelfCare on the App Store for iOS, but there is no Android version yet.
