Fireside Feelings is a mental wellness experience that promotes empathy, connection, and positivity among players. So grab a blanket, your favourite hoody, and a nice beverage and come chat around the campfire.

“Do your childhood dreams still echo in who you’ve become?”

“Do you prefer to cook food, or have someone cook food for you?”

Share your thoughts on a range of topics - sometimes sweet, sometimes profound - to help create a rich and meaningful tapestry of thoughts and feelings that are personal and authentic.

Unlock objects to furnish your campfire, and make it your place to stop and take a breath.

Share experiences, express your emotions, and be a part of a caring community.

Conversations are with real people, but are not live, and there is no direct interaction with others. Discover their thoughts at your own pace.

Answers are moderated and filtered to ensure your safety. Content warnings can be set according to your preferences so certain topics are avoided.

Free as in you are the product. Training data, profiling etc.

This is going to need some more explaining.

Lots of people saying it actually uses AI yet doesn't state that it does - only it kind of does and doesn't.

I don't think I'm going to risk it, especially when the icon looks like it's giving me the finger.

Seeing Fireside Feelings immediately reminded me of Kind Words (and I just learned there is a Kind Words 2).

I'm not certain what Fireside Feelings accomplishes that Kind Words doesn't - but the mention of AI everywhere is definitely a red flag.

Funnily enough, the Steam page for Kind Words promotes a bundle with Fireside Feelings.
