“我记得当中国式家长发售当月连续进热销榜前十的那段日子里,有许多老外在墙外的网站上表示不解,因为他们根本不知道这是什么游戏。
他们当然不解了,在中国独特的国情下,中国人(至少我这个00年的00后是这样)的童年与他们所熟知的童年可是天差地别的。
这款游戏收集了大量只有国人才知道的梗,以线性叙事手法描述了中国孩子和家长之间的矛盾与联系,加之优秀的BGM,真是一把辛酸泪啊,游戏中的那位男孩子真的像极了我。”

About This Game



In this casual yet realistic life sim with a Chinese authenticity, you step into the shoes of an average kid from the first day of life towards the end of your high school days.

Study hard, have fun, make friends and face the “Gaokao”, one of the most critical examinations in your life. And perhaps this experience might also give you a special perspective to explore your relationships as a parent and as a child.


A unique slice of life simulator

You are a child born in an ordinary Chinese family. Prior to Gaokao, one of the most critical examinations, you have 18 years to enjoy your life and make choices to be yourself.

Be a Chinese kid

As a girl or a boy, different experiences from heartfully weaved stories and distinctive characters awaits you.

Tiger Parent, or not?
