This is a wonderful role play game, I think the story is really powerful and I love the art style. I think a lot of thought has gone into the game, but I would consider it more digital story telling than an actual game as the game play is limited to conversation, washing your child, and ‘cooking’ (these are all just tapping images). That being said I don’t think it takes away from the power of the narrative. I think this game would be a great aid for idk, teenagers doing gcse history because it really puts you in the place of the child and her mother who feels desperately helpless. (Spoilers ahead)My only Critisism is that I think the game should have better trigger warnings. Though we don’t learn for sure that our child (Karin) is being abused sexually, it’s highly implied, and this can be deeply traumatic to survivors of abuse. It does mention st the beginning of the game that bullying and stuff is mentioned but I think it need to be a bit clearer.Overal I recommend this game to anyone who has a couple of days to be emmersed in this story. I finished this in just over a day and it has been really interesting.
A Stunning Game

First thing to mention: This is the first review I’ve ever been bothered enough to write. I also very rarely buy games on the AppStore but this one intrigued me and was a fair enough price for me to try it out.I finished this game in less than a day. That’s not to say it’s a short game - it’s lengthy enough to be worth playing - it’s just I was glued to the game. Seriously, I have work tomorrow and it’s currently the early hours of the morning as I’m writing this because I couldn’t put my phone down.This game is simply amazing (and heartbreaking). You play as the adoptive parent of a child with German heritage after WW2 and try your best to balance financial difficulties and the emotional wellbeing of your child. It’s hard and as the game progresses and the child goes through more and more abuse from the people in your village, you find the decisions you have to make a lot harder.My only wish is that at the end maybe you get to see how the child grew up - if the choices you made in the game let them grow up happy. I know the point of the game is to highlight the horrible treatment of Children of War but I couldn’t help but get emotionally attached.In a summary though, this game is a beautiful piece of art with superb writing and I highly recommend it. If you’re considering getting this game, do.
Absolutely amazing!!

This is the most heartbreaking and heartwarming game I’ve ever played. Really liked how you have to make genuine decisions on what to spend time points, money and conversation options (that do in fact affect the story). Definitely can be played through a couple times, I’m on my second after only 3 months of first game.highly recommend to anyone!!A little note to the developers: the game is not optimised for iPhone 15 and above. The Dynamic Island covers the first digit of money count and second time point. Please fix this, because the game absolutely has to be playable on any device (it’s this amazing, big thanks!!£
Repetitive

The concept of the game is good. The story is very sad and it shows how these poor child were treated because they had German fathers. There is not a lot to do. You buy food, tap more buttons to make it and then you feed your child. But when you work late the child does not get itself a snack so is always starving when you get home. And what 7 year old is worried about being late for school. When the child was worried about this she wouldn’t eat or change her clothes etc. You basically did the same thing every day while she wrote a diary for the child to read when older. You also have segments of time for each day and once they are used you can do nothing else. I kept hoping that more would happen. It was upsetting to see your child becoming more withdrawn and sad. The game ended quite abruptly and you just had to hope the child’s life improves.
