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.

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.

无中可玩，但是捏，还是要差评呼吁一波--we need chinese, cloud save. 202512，steam，steam掉卡掉物抵扣，它处自定义包入的本体约9元。爱人如己，目前就这，看以后追评。
Childcare simulator. See children die as a result of your skill failure at taking care of them. Just...no.
This game is a ton of fun, but try not to do it alone, or you will think it is unbeatable, just like over 80% of the playerbase apparently who picked up the game, just thinking it'd be a quick and easy thing to do. But... I'm pretty sure none of them have ever had to manage one child before.... let alone 6. So as you can see from the reviews... that went well... right? :') Bring your friends. You're gonna need them. I promise you. The game absolutely lives up to it's title of "Frantic Parenting Simulator". Just... no one in that 80%+ thought of that :'')
Game is waay too hard and not in the fun way, especially the final level is way too unforgiving
il gioco è carino ma il finale è buggato e la missione finale direttamente non parte
Accurate child care simulator.
Think of the Children could've been very fun, you're supposed to keep a max. of 6 children alive each level while getting tasks done. At first I thought that maybe I was having skill issues but no, I found out that the game does nothing to scale the difficulty, i.e. 1 player gets the same volume of things to do as 2, 3 or 4 players (the max. number of players that this game can have is 4). Goes without saying that getting high grades is always a challenge but later even getting a passing grade feels next to impossible in some levels because the children decide they want to commit self non-existence 0.1 seconds after you've saved them so that leaves little to no time for doing any extra tasks for the score, lest you risk losing kids and they're the most important score wise. The controls are floaty and often times I've missed children by 1 pixel only to take ages to turn back around, that means wasting time. The jetpack level feels bugged aswell since I try to put jetpacks on the kids, take them out of harm's way they explode regardless. I try to move them above the lake, take them out of harm's way, they die regardless. My guess is that 4 players trivialize this game, otherwise single player is really not a fun time. I'll return to edit the review if and when I'll play this in a duo, otherwise all this game did was further reinforce my convictions to not have kids. :P
