Chinese Parents

Chinese Parents is a life simulation game about growing up in an ordinary Chinese family, from the first day of life through the end of high school. You make choices over 18 years, studying, having fun and making friends before facing the Gaokao, a critical examination. The game follows both a girl’s and a boy’s experiences through interwoven stories and distinctive characters.

Growing up

You schedule your child’s activities, choosing whether to give them a happy, stress-free life or push them to study as hard as possible. Mini-games add challenges along the way, including Face Duel, where you take on annoying, cocky neighbors, and trying to get a Red Pocket from relatives while remaining courteous.

Skills and careers

A Fragment mini-game lets you raise stats, and higher stats help your character learn new skills. You can pursue a dream career, with over 100 possible career endings.

Friends and family

You can interact with and date 14 friends to get to know them better, with the possibility of childhood sweethearts continuing their stories after graduation. Your achievements can also benefit your child in the next generation, and revisiting your family roots can provide courage and wits for the future.
