Chinese Parents

An actually challenging life sim - why's it so hard to get bitches in this game? lol

challenging if you want to 100% the achievements. Easy if you just want to experience life and mess around.

fun and relaxing

A really fun game to play when you have nothing else to do. It's not the most interesting storywise but it's defintly enjoyable!

Asian American with a Chinese mom here, I can verify that this game accurately depicts most Asian family
upbringing except parental approval for e-sports career path is a bit questionable irl. But hey, if you want to be the next Faker and can't do it irl, just do it here and it's all good.

A fun cute raising sim that is very authentic to chinese culture. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it

A easy game that has you working hard to get the best score in the class. Who knew school could be fun!

nice

Game về đề tài gia đinh, khi cha mẹ quá kì vọng vào con cái , để giữ mặt mũi thì lại đẩy áp lực cho con cái. Lo lắng tương lai cho con, nhưng khi thay đổi thế hệ, cha mẹ bớt kì vọng thì con cái cũng dễ thở hơn

Blacked out and lost the last few days of irl time, 9/10

Even in this game both of them are dissapointed wtf game.
10/10

10/10

Lmao I just think this is the best game for promoting celibacy and antinatalism in China.

Good quality, addicting and fun!!

this is the game that started me on playing a lot of Chinese games. weirdly addictive

It's a fun, cute, wholesome game. I enjoyed it

I had pretty high expectations and I was not disappointed at all!

Unlike your parents.

Recommend.

Cute and immersive game about life in China (I suppose). Very smooth gameplay flow, always want to push for one more turn. Has a lot of funny moments. After several playthroughs gets a bit repetitive though.

I really love this game, this was the first pc game I bought. It's funny, fun, and for me it never gets boring. Every generations feels different and fun with various goals and endings. I really like that you can play as your character's child and have your previous character's love interest as the other parent. Thank you to the devs for creating this game and continuing to update this even after years later.

it helps to set up self-reflection on myself in the past 30 years and also help to simulate what you may want to be. This simulator tells you some reasonable influences on your decisions.

Disappointing parents IRL is enough

chill and fun, its a game you'd play if you dont have much time but want something to play

让我搞南桐好嘛！！

:O

Great game, addicting.

★★★☆☆

I have to admit I play the beginning to get fast to middle school so I can listen to that song.

After that is rushing to finish so I can go back to middle school again lol

Relatable

The premium Chinese experience. Literally would've been me if my family stayed in mainland China lmao

This game is fun and adorable with great bits of hidden story to discover. It can get a bit repetitive but updates always help and I adore making up stories for the children I raise.

tiger parent simulator x bejeweled

This game is so fun and addictive, I didnt even know I had almost 90 hours in this!
I really thing this game relaxing and great overall!

Mansow Rating: 18/20

So fun! Really challenging too, which makes the game more rewarding. I love the replay value as well.

This game has the potential to be very good, but in my humble opinion, it is not quite there yet.

CONS:
-Game mechanics are not communicated very well. For example, the exams are awful, you need to stack gems to answer questions, but there is no clear way to get the gems to stack and when you do it seems like an accident more than intentional.
-There is no communication on how to get traits or score well on tests.
-There are no childhood friendships and they only come in highschool.
-The music.

PROS:

-Face battles are hilarious and funny, but also a cultural experience, which is a great touch.
-Running for class president.
-Writing exams.
(I really wish I could say all mini games, but the reality is the first time you do any of them you will likely fail because there is something missing in the way they are described in tutorial. And if you are like me, some of them will not make sense at all even on the third and forth attempts.)


All in all, Growing Up does this same idea, without the Chinese cultural nuggets, but a lot better. If you like this idea, go play Growing Up as it is better. If you have already played Growing Up and want something similar this is definitely worth your time, but don't be surprised when it is just not as good.

Surprisingly fun! This is one of those generation-based games where in theory you're doing the same thing at every generation, but each generation can feel different! This is impacted by:

• what career/goal you target for your child's playthrough
  
• your parenting style (which impacts how the parents react to the child's activities at each turn)
  
[*] as well as seeing the benefits of generational privilege haha- It gets easier in the children's playthroughs from having family heirlooms that give beneficial effects or your own learned experience of which classes/entertainment will actually help your child the most -- just like real life!

When you are trying to make your child following some guidelines even though he doesn't want that,you are becoming a Chinese parent.

same parents or same kids

very good , and update frequently

After so many years, this game is still alive

Banger of a game

good game to see the growth of a child

GOD dating is so HARD!
I TRULY feel like I'm getting to experience trying to date while having some strict parents.

I have perfect grades, GET OFF MY BACK! I have a limited time window to get with them, PLEASE!

When you try every possible means to look up strategies and go to great lengths to avoid losing at the starting line, you have already become a typical Chinese parent.

Menus....Menus....Menus.....

I could stand about near 3 hours of "gameplay" - The game looks alright but does not have much interactivity. In the sense of, it is very basic menu functions. Makes me think of life creation mobile games that are menu based.

You click on coloured squares to gain points to help with either parent expectation events that come along now and again or to lower the cost of learning "Skills" with memory points.

That is basically it from what I saw. There are other things to make note of such as stress and your parents happiness and their face rating (How much they approval of your behaviour) but really, each round is mostly the same on repeat with maybe a mini game thrown in now and again (Clicking more coloured squares) or clicking certain menu options for a random outcome (Class President contest)

Not really any real story line and the game passes at a very slow pace too. Or more so, it eats up time fast and I felt no real accomplishment. You can't even customise your character and how they look. I also tried to find out more information about what each of the coloured squares meant but really actually, I did not need to know anyway.

There is also something that comes up now and again which is your school subject marks but there does not seem to be any way to know what your scores are as you go along anyway. So unless you are keeping track of what subjects you are putting into your schedule to learn over time, you will not be able to get a good score (If that matters to you)

Ah, maybe my own people pleasing came up. Trying to meet the parents expectations and also trying to learn new stuff too. But in the end.....It was just too much of same old, same old. With no real pay off.

I give the game a 4 out of 10

游戏很现实， 就是中国式家长。 唯一不喜欢的就是很多刷过的剧情不能跳过，每次按有点烦。。。 我现在只玩到了7/8代吧 但是难度肯定跟前面几代简单很多， 很多人都说20多代之后就基本上开挂了。 可以玩， 毕竟性价比还行。 我也蛮喜欢他们最后的总结的！

求求制作组更新一下这些梗 TT 有点老

locks same sex romance, lacks a proper tutorial, poorly translated into english to the point where you can hardly tell whats going on sometimes, and the dating/freindship system is pretty old fashioned and sexist. other than that, it's decent.

Well, this was my winter vacation and well worth it - talk about value for money. While some aspects of the game did become repetitive, there was enough variety and goals to keep me deeply engaged for days. Some aspects of the game I still don't understand - after over 55 hours of playing, I have no idea why sometimes I unlock traits as soon as I practice a skill and others never seem to --- I can't see that it relates to how rare the trait is. It's just...unpredictable. I really love the aspect of building up stats over generations. A strategy of going for high IQ and high cash in the first playthrough seemed to give me a lot of latitude in later games. I don't doubt i'll dust this family off at some point, and there's still plenty I haven't done, but after days of noodling away (and even a few nights of not wanting to go to bed), I'm ready to move to something else.

Tomorrow. I'll move to something else TOMORROW.

This game is really good.

You can become Hokage in this game.
