Raising children is hard, especially as they grow older and face daunting moral questions. Ciel Fledge: A Daughter Raising Simulator tasks you with guiding a young girl through her challenging existence.
You’ll have to make tough decisions of your own to figure out what is best for a young developing girl in a world with a bleak future.
If you’ve ever wanted to dip your toes in the waters of parenthood, here’s your trial (by video game). You will be overseeing Ciel, your daughter, and her development through life. You’ll set her schedule, as well as encourage hobbies and healthy habits. That is, if she feels like following your every word. Ciel will have needs and stats that you need to keep a sharp eye on. If she’s too stressed, she may skip school, and then it falls to you to handle it with either a firm or gentle hand. How you react to these daily struggles will determine Ciel’s growth. Depending on how you react, she may gain permanent traits that will affect her in her tests of every day life and battle.
Your day doesn’t just start and end with a schedule. You’ll be following Ciel through the day as a silent helper as she tackles tests in school or sports competitions. Take on rapid-fire puzzles to ensure a smooth day through each encounter. But what’s school without classmates? Navigating social life is another aspect of growing up. You’ll be able to see first-hand as Ciel builds relationships with other characters as she continues to grow. They will be extremely useful if you’re feeling adventurous and want to explore the surface of Earth to scavenge for helpful items.
On top of managing a schedule, taking on puzzles midday, and surviving social interactions, you’ll have to keep in mind that there is an impending threat that could be extremely fatal. This is a world that is in constant fear of destruction, and perhaps Ciel is the key to finding a way to free that world from certain doom.
While daunting at first, Ciel Fledge: A Daughter Raising Simulator is sure to tug on your heartstrings as you grow close to your virtual daughter and try to do what’s best for her. There is an immense amount of activities to fill your days with both laughter and hardships, but those experiences will ultimately build Ciel up to who she will be in adulthood.
