✦ AI summary

Growing Up is a casual life-simulation game with strong replay value that appeals to players looking for a lighthearted time-waster with branching storylines and character encounters across multiple generations. Common praise centers on its fun gameplay loop and accessibility on Steam Deck, though players are divided on its pacing and content balance, with some finding it repetitive and others enjoying the puzzle and choice-driven mechanics.

Recommended Sep 30, 2026

It's such a fun game, the one thing I love the most is....the more generations , the more people you meet

Recommended Sep 28, 2026

berry fun. good replay value

Recommended Sep 18, 2026

This game is a great time waster. I like how this was similar to the early story based cellphone games in terms of stories and puzzles. It Runs well on the steam deck. I would like things to be more accessible such as the music club, where all the music skills are locked in, is behind some random chance encounter and one play through didn't unlock until I was 6 turns from the end. Is this a 10/10 Deep story game? No. Is this a fun way to kill time rather than doom scrolling? Yes.

Not recommended Sep 18, 2026

so BORING. I really wanted to like this game. so repetitive . im actually suprised this even has good reviews lol

Recommended Sep 14, 2026

great and very fun. Once you get to know the controls you can finish a life in an hour.

Recommended Sep 12, 2026

So I would recommend this game to anyone who's down for something that take into account your choices. I believe it's honest to point out that this game (in my opinion) puts too much attention into logic game instead of more story related things. Parent's side-stories gets pretty quickly boring so yeah. I finished it, before characters started to appear again. Wish for the studio to pick it up and maybe do some update with more characters or some DLC perhaps...? Who knows what future will bring
