Otto - A Little Friend for a Wandering Mind
A creature wanders through the vast winding meadows and flat plains of a place that has no name. Those who wander into it, call it the Garden. It's mysteries are shrouded in forgotten dreams and faded memories.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
The philosophy behind Otto is simple. It's about being present in the moment, being intentional about the things you choose to work on and a little forgiving of yourself.
It's not about trying to do many things all at once, but doing very few intentional things that move you a little forward each day.
Remember, It's small steps over a long, long time.
But simple isn't easy. And life isn't perfect, it's mostly uncertain, and the mind always wanders. So a little structure wouldn't hurt.
The Timer and Blocker are the core features of Otto. Everything else is built on top of them.
The Pomodoro Focus timer helps you be intentional and break your time into focused intervals, while the website blocker helps you with your wandering mind.

About the Game Mechanic
Otto now has a new game mechanic that is more positive and mindful compared to the old mechanic (arcade style health/deplete). In the new one, your primary goal is to build a bond and friendship with Otto. As you spend more time with Otto, you get closer and closer until you reach the final stage.
There are three stages for your friendship - The Stranger, The Friend and the Guardian.
Each stage requiring more points than before.
How does it Work? The more you focus, or the more your mind wanders, you get something called "Essense Particles", these particles represent your bond, the more you have them the more clsoer you get.
Think of this as a real life friendship, where you spend time with your friend, you knew them as strangers and the more time you spent with them, the closer you got. There are no punishments or penalties for being distracted or missing a couple of days.
But if you drift apart a little too much, your bond starts decaying slowly and you'll have to start over.
