About
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

I'm pretty late to playing this game and I played it solo. Game was only designed and balanced for 4 player couch co-op. No matter how many players are in the game, you will need to take care of 6 children. You can't pass the level unless at least 4 children are alive because they are score multipliers. The side objectives give almost no points, yet some are mandatory to progress. Some levels have almost insta-kill hazards that ruin the game. Dev studio talked about a possible bug fixes and balance patch in the game discussions, but abandoned the game and disbanded before releasing anything. According to SteamDB, last game update was Nov 2017, but the dev was responding in discussions until May 2018, and their last Twitter post was in Sept 2018. TL;DR - Dev studio gone. Game flopped and abandoned. Not worth your time. Play any other party game.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Полнейший кал, треш, дно, чмо. Не помню как досталось это недоразумение. В игре плохо практически всё и кажется, что это не предел.
5.5 / 10
С этой игрой я начал ООООЧЕНЬ ЛЮБИТЬ ДЕТЕЙ!
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.
Okay In short get it on sale if you have bunch of friends game I got with humble bundle years ago me and my friends tried it as a "what do we play" evening we had a good laugh But the game level design does need to be more clear on some goals. as 4 grown men couldn't figure out the airport level. wich is when we stop But otherwise silly game super fun and quick rounds super chaotic BUT I think for anyone looking to buy get it when on sale or with a bundle And best enjoyed with friends

Fun game, hate the last level... PS: impossible alone
it can be fun, but it's not very replayable aside from getting all the costumes in each level. The game is not balanced as it set for more players to be playing. The reviews complaining about the balance are legit. Pro: - Chaotic fun, it's basically a babysitter simulator but extreme. - unlocking costume pieces based on how well you do. - twitch integration to mess with the players. Meh: - Controls a bit slippery, but not unplayable. - remote play acts a bit off when using it. Con: - Not balanced, does not matter if you're play solo or with 4 people, the number of kids you got to take care of does not adjust. so on solo it is very frustrating to succeed, 2 is doable, 3 better, 4 is less stressful. - low replay value, once you get everything there's no real incentive to play it again. Yeah there's party mode but it's the same levels in story mode. This is the biggest con to the game is I don't feel the desire to play it again after completing a level with max rank. Overall, it's a fine game until you're finished with it. Which honestly I don't think I can justify owning this game unless it's on sale.
