Addicting to play, but not much depth. I played through 2 and a quarter "lives" and there's not much going on in this game. It's similar to Princess Maker styled games, but with no depth. You need to balance happiness and parental expectations, but it's super easy. In both completed games I maxed out 3 stats, with all related skills mastered, without any issue. Main reason I dropped it was because the stories they have started to repeat on my 3rd playthrough. Also the pacing is super weird.

Fun experience with multiple playthroughs. It gets a lot easier after the first run when you know what to do. There is some interaction and story, but the game is mostly about raising stats and skills so don't go in expecting a complete visual novel. The only major issue I have with the game is that the option to sign in through Google Play (for Achievements) doesn't work. So basically, Achievements can't be accessed.

Really like this game. Surprisingly complex, diverse characters, considering it's short game. The parents seem to be game mechanic tools rather than actual characters, but I guess that's to be expected. My main issue is that the save feature doesn't seem to work. It also won't connect to my Google Play account, so I'm not getting any achievements. Which isn't a huge problem, but it's a bummer. I prefer this on the pc, for this reason. I like being able to make use of the save feature.
