About Think of the Children


Little Bobby’s dead, the BBQ is on fire, Jen’s eating poisonous berries and the birthday cake still needs icing. It’s just another wonderful day out with the kids in Think of the Children, a frantic parenting simulator for up to four players.

Hauled before the court for bad parenting and endangering the lives of your children, the Prosecutors present a series of events as evidence that will either condemn or exonerate you: a birthday party at the park, a day at the zoo, a camping trip, an unexpected visit to the Australian Outback and more. Each of these locations proves to be far more dangerous than they sound, and even the tamest of environments are filled with deadly hazards.

Run solo, or team up with other parents to play through each trip in flashback to prove your parenting skills-and your innocence-to the judge, and avoid going to jail.

Multi-tasking mayhem

There’s never a dull moment when you’ve got the BBQ to tend, picnic tables to set, some of the kids are playing with a rabid dog, and two of them just ran out onto the road.

Parenting is hard

To get a good parenting grade and avoid jail time you’ll need to get all your tasks done, keep the kids happy, and–ideally–alive!

Nowhere is safe

The local park, the beach, the supermarket, the zoo. Great places for a day out with the kids. That is, aside from the poisonous berries, ravenous seagulls, towering grocery shelves and electrified pens.

All kinds of families welcome

Single parent? Two mums? A mum, two dads and a horse in a long distance relationship? It’s all good. Parent solo or co-operatively with up to four players.

Personally, I wish I could recommend this game. For one playthrough WITH friends, it's bearable. As soon as you try to attempt all levels solo, or even try to 100% the game, it's immediately a horrible experience. I would give it the benefit of being primarily multiplayer, but the achievements do expect you to be able to complete EVERY level solo. Granted, I do believe that the devs kind of left this game to rot years ago, but after rediscovering it recently, I'm disappointed that they didn't even leave it in a fully playable state. If you want a party game as hectic as this but significantly more enjoyable, just play Overcooked or something. If this game somehow miraculously gains a patch fixing all this problems, I'll probably give it a good review. But until then, I refuse to play it any longer. Thoroughly disappointed.

Childcare simulator. See children die as a result of your skill failure at taking care of them. Just...no.

Accurate child care simulator.

It'd be a fun game, but it's designed for 3 or 4 players. Below that, you don't have a chance to beat even the first level. And there is no online multiplayer, either.
