Cute game! I enjoyed it. They shift out NPCs, so you're not seeing the same characters over and over. There's a lot of learning paths to explore. Very re-playable. My only critique is that I wish they got a little more creative with the futures you can obtain. Maybe I missed out, but the futures I got were limited to whatever highest education tier I reached. I was kind of hoping that if my character was strong in two knowledge paths that they might fuse into a unique career path. I didn't see that happening. I'll still recommend it, though.

A fun life sim with lovable side characters, the mini-games, the storyline, everything is designed very well. However, the game only plays through life from a baby to high school graduation, was a bit surprised because I was looking forward to playing through the character's life until they eventually die. That being said, it's still an enjoyable experience, and I'd recommend it to fans of the genre.

This game is very addictive. I enjoyed it so much, but I do have some issues. It does get a bit boring when you keep playing it and you get the same characters every time. At this point, I just skip the social interactions with characters because it's the same material every time. I do know they couldn't add so many characters but it's a bit troublesome. Otherwise, in the beginning stages of playing the game, the characters are fun. This game is pure and shows the ups and downs of growing up. I love this game.

March 2024

- Decent but a bit repetitive gameplay. - The arts and overall vibe are perfect for the game's setting. - Nice and bittersweet character stories with a sizeable range of cast. - The soundtrack is really great.
