"What you raise isn't an child—it is danger itself."
Are you mentally prepared?
【ALVAR】 Introduction
Free (Unless you want to see more special extra content. But that won't affect your experience.)
Simple Raising Gameplay (Very simple. You’ll get the hang of it soon. I guarantee it on the honor of ████.)
A Touching Story (Naturally. That is something every story must have, right? Uh, I forgot—this isn't a story.)
Various Beautiful CGs (Pretty faces everywhere. Total one, two, three, four, five... Hm? You ask why one is missing? Weren't we only counting the "pretty" ones?)
Over 15 Endings, and... oh, it looks like you're starting to remember something.
What else? Indeed... what else was there?
【Background】
You have arrived in 【NedTown】. This is your home. Yes, you just moved in, with your child together.
You say the environment looks a bit... strange? That is just your imagination. It is a new interior design style... probably. You have to trust me.
Anyway, there are many different things you can do here. There are mainly four actions, corresponding to four traits your child can develop.
You can try different approaches to help the child grow better, and to build better relationships with his friends.
You ask who the friends are? Let me introduce to you.
【Character Introduction】
【???】 Your Child
No one knows where he came from. He lives with you, and he is the one you must raise.
Why do you need to raise him? You can’t really explain it — but you know you must protect him.
His name? You’ll find out later. I promise.
【Reid】 The Oldest Friend
The little leader of the trio. Friendly and great at lifting the mood.
He constantly tries to get “your child” to join their group.
Sometimes he likes to tease others and can be a bit mischievous, but everyone likes him.
【Kai】 The Somewhat Strange Friend
Expressionless. A character who looks steady and mature, yet follows Reid in causing trouble.
He is closest with Reid.
【Cary】 The Youngest Friend
A gentle and kind child with a fragile appearance and faint freckles.
Seems afraid of many things, but is surprisingly strong inside.
(Doesn’t like bugs. Surprisingly not afraid of ghost stories.)
It seems you’ve roughly gotten to know these friends. You’ll probably see them interacting with your child often.
(Or maybe not much — depending on your choices.)
You’ll like them. Children always make you want to take care of them, don’t they?
You look like you’re about to remember something.
Soon… you’ll remember everything.
