The latest slice of our upcoming parent-simulator comes complete with:

  • Controller support

  • Steam Deck compatibility

  • New 'Tidy Up Toys' mini-game

  • New ‘Burp the Baby’ mini-game

  • Plenty of improvements, flourishes, and polish since the last demo.

  • And some other secret last-minute surprises (can you find them)!

If you play the demo, don’t forget to take a moment to share your feedback with us — it’s invaluable as we make the final push toward release. You can do that on the Steam Community Hub for the game, get in touch via Discord, or send us an email.
