Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Although the world habits dangers of violence and gore,
a young child's task is mostly to play
and to explore.
-FESTERWOOD PROVERB

The job of a mother involves knowing when to hold your child back from the dangers of the world, and making sure the child can handle himself when he becomes too old for you to keep him.

INSTRUCTIONS:
+ Use the mouse to control the mother.
+ You can keep your tiny child near your home protecting him from danger.
+ Letting your child explore alone allows him to gain experience and eventually be able to handle himself.

I was wrong.
it doesn't matter how good the game is, if it does not work correctly it deserves a low score.
for the first time I was having fun with one of your games, but it was ruined by glitches sending me back to the start screen.

fix the glitches and you may have a good game here.

Please please please look into the random restarts of this game, it is quite annoying to finally get a mid 20s kid with enough power to take out the p3dobears when it suddenly restarts on me. As for the game concept, I rather enjoyed this leveling up system though it is a little random on where the kid travels to. Please deal with the annoying restart glitch and maybe make a 5 year old checkpoint after being through it like 10 times. Keep it up, new style games like this are great.
7/10 4/5

Get the concept, could be a better for sure with graphics, gameplay, but just way too many bugs and glitches. Couldn't even play and just watched the kid die continuously walking straight towards monsters.

It really is a brilliant piece of work. If you shelter your children, they are inexperienced with the outside world and explore things that they aren't yet ready to handle, while if you neglect your child, they might not live a full life. It takes just the right amount of nurturing and freedom to be a good parent. While, it's not too fun to play, I can see what you're trying to do. You've captured what parenthood is all about so beautifully here, great work.

Interesting game, with a origonal game mechanic. Problem is its very repetative with little insentive to keep on playing over the initial intrest in seeing who the child becomes. My main problem with this game is its buggy, REALLY buggy which is a shame.
