The value story
It has been discounted 56 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. My Time at Portia ($5.99, scores 83) outscores it, and so does Quadrober Simulator ($2.99, scores 38). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
I love the Princess Makers games but this one is so immersive that I really feel like I'm raising a real little girl. the 50+ endings make it so interesting, I'm playing for the third time and I was able to get my husband to play. It's so much fun and detailed and I love the hidden stats aspect. Would rec to anyone looking to play an immersive sim game.

Sigh, I just found out there's fan made version with better translation out there. I will still support the developer, but man.... Do a better job than the fans.
