About the game
It’s a humorous project about a young parent's difficult weekdays. If you feel worried, irritated, you don’t understand what’s going on and what you must do next, so don’t worry. We want to give you exactly these feelings in our game.

The value story
77 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 33 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.57 at 21 percent off still sits 99 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 8 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. The nearest things to it, Job Simulator ($19.99, scores 58) and The Call of Karen (free, scores 50), are both worse buys on this math.
More about Mother Simulator
8 of the 350 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,597 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 236 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 380 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 63 percent of everything written about it.

Mother Simulator is an unusual and deliberately chaotic take on parenting, one that strips away the sentimentality typically associated with childcare games and instead embraces the messy, stressful, and often absurd side of tending to a newborn. Steppe Hare Studio approaches the subject with a tone that blends comedy, exaggeration, and frantic challenge, placing you in the role of a young mother trying to keep up...
