First Resort is game built for your mental wellness, free in the U.S. for the Early Access period.

You arrive at a beautiful lake house retreat, joined by Ari, your quirky guide and companion. Like many others before you, you process thoughts, feelings, and experiences and learn new skills to make you better equipped for real life.

During your stay, you journey through chapters that turn cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles into embodied experiences. You physically interact with CBT techniques at First Resort; mounting your values on the wall, practicing mindfulness in soothing environments, and holding and restructuring your thoughts in your hands.

Playing First Resort helps you engage in healthy practices to manage worry, stress, and sadness. You may learn to calm your mind. You may decide it’s finally time to do that bucket list item or make friends with someone new. With First Resort, you play for real life.

Fantastic Resource For Any and Everyone

So often our mental health takes a backseat until we are having problems, and sometimes it continues to take a backseat even then. Many virtual options have been created as of late to give people more flexibility to care for their mental well-being in a way that works best for them, but the options for virtual reality have been very limited, and of the few options out there, almost all of them centered around meditation. In fact, I can only think of one other app that isn’t just meditation based besides First Resort. That said, this is a wonderful app! First Resort isn’t about meditation, although there are meditation modules built in, this is an app that focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The sessions are the perfect length to learn and practice without feeling overwhelmed. A foundation is established upon which you can build, and the companion app allows for continuous access even when you’re not in vr. I encountered a little glitch and contacted support for help, and I was blown away by how responsive the team was. They even arranged a Zoom call to assist me with the problem I was having, and they did it in less than a day of me reaching out. Now, I don’t expect that to happen all the time, but it showed me how much the team cares about this product and the people who are using it. I’m giving this a five star rating not because it’s perfect, but because of the attention to detail, and the willingness of the team to help and receive feedback that they take to heart. This app is amazing and has so much potential to become even better. I look forward to seeing First Resort grow and prosper, and I feel grateful to know that I am able to be a part of that journey while strengthening myself. Thanks First Resort!

Amazing for still being worked on

This is not just a meditation app, though it is good for that. This app teaches tools that can help so many understand how to reduce stress and how to live in the present. The fact that all this learning and growing can be done in a private environment at a pace that is comfortable for the user is priceless. Being able to be in an environment that does not have distractions and does not require you to develop a relationship with another person makes understanding and learning so much more effective and comfortable. I had a few glitches in chapter 5 but customer support was right on it and got me back on track. The companion app has been so nice so far as it feels great to see my goals outside of the headset and get encouragement right on my phone. Very excited to see what the future holds for the wonderful app, I really believe in what this offers.

Still growing, but I love it so far!

First Resort is the first app I've seen that goes past meditation and affirmations and gives you tools for long term changes. There are still some bugs and glitches here and there - but the support team is seriously *on it* - I've never seen quicker responses to issues that come up. I think this must be a real passion project for them. I'm excited to see how First Resort grows and develops, and hopeful that I will learn some great skills and acquire tools I can use in my day to day life along the way.
