Yes it costs money but the experience is DEFINITELY worth it. It made me feel emotional over a fictional child without a face. I wish it was bit darker though, you cannot fail. I have played it multiple times and all of them turned out well. I have a longer list of suggestions on the steam group, but before I go I suggest you get a dice roller so you can simulate What the kid wants/things you can't control. Edited

More like 2.5 stars. Not worth the 3.99 price tag. Not many decisions/choices. Some of the consquences of parenting don't align. For instance, my child apologised for bullying, did charity work, learned the value of hard work and ended up a less than empathic person. The only play mode is as a single parent. Intresting, yes, but it would add another dimension to the game with a two parent system. There needs to be more to the gameplay to justify the cost.

This game does exactly what it set out to do. It makes you a parent and leads you through 18 years of interactions. The narrative has a tendency to jump from life experience to life experience. The book itself moved very fast from year to year. It's somewhat fun to raise a child virtually, and yet a bit boring. The few scenes a year while a good representation of what it's like to raise a child still broke my immersion a bit. My child grew up really fast. Time flies. Performs as advertised.

I love it so much. But maybe you could add more options. Like multiple babies or more hobbies or the options for the kid to stay in the thing you pick for them to do? Like they always end up loosing interest in the clubs or sports they are put in but it'd be cool if they would keep an interest sometimes. And it would be super awesome to have options to raise neurodivergent kids because its inclusive and more realistic. Other than that its a great game.

The game was really fun and exciting. I just wish there a few more options like having a significant other from the start or later in the game, maybe an option to have twins, and an option to have more kids instead of just one. I also think it would be really fun if the game let you see more into your child's future, but overall the game was really fun to just play around with the options and see what can happen.
