A casual yet culturally authentic simulation of growing up in China, balancing study, social life, and family dynamics with a lighthearted and strategic feel.

What players say
Players broadly appreciate the relatable school-life simulation but find the gameplay shallow and repetitive beyond the first generation. Many describe a nostalgic, sometimes emotional experience, while others feel the core loop of scheduling and mini-games quickly becomes a grind.
