★★☆☆☆

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.

It's soooo fun!!! I bought the extra chapters and played them over and over until there I could practically recite them. However, after a few days it became a bit boring. They HAVE been adding some updates, which I've been thankfull for, but I usually just play three or four rounds of it when an update drops. Overall it's super fun, and worth the money!

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.

To be honest, I absolutely loved this game. I enjoyed it a lot, and I got really attached to my little friend. But I do wish there were different types of lives you could live. What I mean by that is that players are given the option to have a spouse or maybe start dating after your child is born. Also, have more than one child, that includes adoption as well. I'd really, REALLY love it if you updated the game that way and add Halloween, Christmas, Prom, maybe even puberty and periods w/ a girl
