Growing Up: Life of the '90s

I can’t get of brain map there’s no button I just started playing for first time

Honestly it is a bit overpriced but it is 100% worth it! I have spent hours on it and I love the backstories!! My only suggestion is to let high school be a bit longer to max out levels to get to A grade.

This is an absolutely amazing game but I would like to suggest some things. During middle school Richard ( if you get him as a friend) will once say he's got loads of siblings. So basically, it would be nice if you added siblings when you are born or after your born. And maybe add a family tree to look at! Apart from that, this is a fun game. I absolutely love it. As soon as I started playing with it I was obsessed with it. So great job 👍. Hope you can add something like this!

So I was really pumped about playing this game and I got to when you should have been born and it continually kicked me of and then did not save please fix coz I really want to give it a good review

App crashes at the first loading screen.

I enjoyed this game, but I think it’s important to understand what it is and what it is not. Going in I expected more of an RPG/visual novel experience, “make choices to decide your future”. There are aspects of that in your interactions with your parents and friends, but it is first and foremost a simulation - a very abstract one based around scheduling studies and hobbies to raise your attributes and “exam readiness” whilst balancing “mental health” and “parental approval” stats. This leads to some weird dissonance in that your parents in the game are portrayed as kind and supportive through dialogue and cutscenes, whilst the game mechanics portray them as ruthless taskmasters who “approve” of your character working themselves to exhaustion and “disapprove” of them doing anything fun or relaxing. All in all, whilst the boardgame-style mechanics paired with the nostalgic artwork and music do provide a fun distraction for an hour or two I think a more character- and story-driven experience would have better served the sentimental childhood-nostalgia vibe the game is going for. But maybe that’s just me wishing the game was something it’s not.

If the mechanics of this game change dramatically after preschool then I apologise and I’ll delete this review but I found this game neither remotely challenging or fun. I know the one star is harsh but I’m pretty annoyed I payed a fiver for this and got completely bored of it after half an hour of trying to work out what was supposed to be entertaining about it.

the game itself is very entertaining but picking an action and waiting for the cartoon animation to come out and have the skip button reveal sometimes takes a whole minute. this needs to be resolved. other than that best game i’ve spent

I would 100% pay for a College expansion pack after you finish high school.

I absolutely love this game! I only have a few suggestions and a few things I would change. I wish there where options to do sports or be able to visit your friends. And most of all I wish there where more characters, because after you play it for a while it’s just a loop of the same characters or people you have already interacted with in past games. Other then those few things I think it’s one of the most fun games!
