Rebirth: If Only I Had Grown Up Right

A simulation game about the transmission and healing of trauma from one's family of origin

In the rapidly developing urban environment, competition for educational resources is intensifying, and family structures are becoming increasingly smaller.

Parents, filled with anxiety and expectations, are often forced to assume the dual roles of "manager" and "investor."

In a society where "successful results" are the sole measure, control based on love and responsibility gradually intrudes into every stage of a child's growth—

school pathways, interest choices, time allocation, and emotional expression.

External achievements accumulate,

while internal psychological resilience is quietly depleted.

Children seem to be "growing up well,"

but silently accumulating scars,

ultimately manifesting as abnormal behavior, relationship breakdowns, or self-denial.

Every seemingly "correct" choice may come with an unnoticed price.

Playtime: Approximately 15 hours or more.

Text Size: Approximately 600,000–1,000,000 words

Keywords: Realism / Psychological Growth / Choice-oriented.

Current Stage: Core gameplay finalized, Demo in testing

Game Features

A Refined Numerical System

Emotions, moods, and temperament interact at multiple levels. A child's instantaneous emotions alone involve over 100 variables. Referencing Prattsik's basic emotional model, it emphasizes the complexity of emotions and rejects simplistic increases or decreases in stress.

Multi-Dimensional Development and a "Hidden Cost" Mechanism. Short-term gains often come with long-term consequences; success is no longer a cost-free choice.

Non-Binary Choice Design All choices stem from conflicting values, not judgments of right or wrong.

Deeply Integrated Story and Gameplay. It's not simply about reading the story; you drive the character's fate through system actions.

Small Gameplay Variations Driven by Psychological State. Game mechanics differ as the character grows and their psychology changes.

Multiple Endings Educational methods, interest cultivation, and life paths collectively determine the final outcome.

Long-Term Influence Trauma System: Referencing the formation mechanisms of complex psychological trauma, this system allows early choices to continue to manifest in the future.

Talent and Physical Difference System Inspired by differentiated growth experiences in reality, this system combines strengths and limitations to encourage players to understand diversity and cherish the ordinary and whole.

(Planned Content) External Growth System Through multiple playthroughs, players accumulate experience to unlock richer starting conditions and social environments.

  Team Introduction

  We are a small team composed of childhood trauma survivors, hardcore fans of simulation games, and members with applied psychology backgrounds.

  We focus on real-life parent-child relationships, growth pressures, and psychological costs. We hope that through the relatively safe medium of games, players can reflect on their choices and find relief and peace through understanding.

  This is not a game that blames parents, but a game that attempts to understand "why this happened."

If the past cannot be changed,

At least the pain can be prevented from being passed on.

Perhaps there is no rebirth in this world,

But even something as insignificant as moss

has a chance for rebirth.
