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.

Reviews

The frustration gamers have with this game is the same feeling a mother has when her child has grown up and left, powerless to control the child she raised and can only stand and watch with the hope they succeed. And a hope to see them once again successful in life.

I feel you could mke this better by brnaching out. interesting topic for a game but could be greatly improved. BTW my wimp kid got killed by a moose T_T.

i honestly don't know how this happend, but i got the son to stay with me till 25, but he didn't have any attack, so he just died right away. Maybe it was just luck of the draw, I don't know, but if you could fix that it would be great. The idea's great, too, but it just lacks a certain reality, as in "I should probably not go into that giant tree thing over and over.

The game is likable, but it isn't quite fair (for a medal game). The kid has no AI, he just wanders in random directions. Maybe you'll be lucky and get a kid who happens to keep himself at home and gain experience more quickly. Maybe instead you'll get a retard who tries to rush past the fence as soon as he turns 4. Once he's out, he must be blind, since he can't even see giant monsters ahead or else he should realize that he generally can't scratch them. I think that's a "sword in a stone" (how creative) waaaaay near the bottom of the screen, but it's hard to be sure since he rarely goes close to it and it's swarmed by monsters on every side. I image he could slay some of the giant monsters with it, but there's no way to know. I just hope that's not one of the secret medals.

Seriously...i played this game 5 and in 2 of them the boy just ran into the dragon.On the other 3 same thing but with other monsters

Like...a fucking giant dragon,maybe I should hug him...

The music is excellent,relaxing and fits the place.Nothing against the graphics too,i like this kind of scene

But the kid...for fucks sake.He goes directly into the monsters.Not the rabbits,no no.He loves dragons,orcs and anything else that can kill him.
Also he only try to get away when the dragon is eating his head

His age doesn't matter ,he's stupid no matter what or when
If the man/boy/kid/whatever is going to be this stupid he could at least have more hp and level up faster.
The game would be really nice if the "being" had a brain
