About the Game

The Original Story of 8 Years With Your Beloved Daughter

The Princess Maker series
Princess Maker introduced the concept of “raising your own daughter” to the genre of life simulation games, combining stat-raising elements with an interesting, in-depth story as it follows the tale of a young girl adopted by a warrior and raised to become a lady. The phenomenal success of the first Princess Maker paved the way for Princess Maker 2, which was an international hit that opened the doors for several more acclaimed stories in the series.

Fully refined visuals & audio
Princess Maker Refine rejuvenates the classic title with a graphical makeover, improving on the classic charm of the original 16-bit color graphics with vivid, re-touched full color, supervised by the original creator, Takami Akai. Voice acting has also been added, bringing an extra layer of immersion to the game and helping you connect more with your daughter.

Raise your daughter with love
You are the hero who saved a kingdom besieged by evil and on the verge of total ruin. Weary of death and destruction, you decide to give to the world rather than take from it, and adopt an orphan child. From this day forward, you are the father of a beautiful young girl.

Humble maid, or beautiful princess?
It's up to you to raise this young, orphaned girl into a woman. What kind of person will she be? Your work, your affection and your dreams will all shape her destiny. The fate of your daughter is in your hands.
