Chinese Parents

Play through a child’s life in an ordinary Chinese family, from birth to the end of high school and the Gaokao. The choices you make shape both the child’s growth and your approach to parenting. Plan how each turn is spent on studying, activities, and free time while managing attributes, skills, pressure, and parents’ expectations. A fragment-based puzzle mini-game helps build stats, while school and family events add challenges such as competing with neighbors or trying to receive red envelopes from relatives. Make friends and pursue relationships with schoolmates as you work toward different career outcomes. After the Gaokao, a new generation can follow, with benefits carried forward from previous lives.

Raise a child from birth to the Gaokao, balancing study, leisure, relationships, and family expectations across generations.
