### 5/5 — I flipping

*2026-07-26, version 2.0.114*

I flipping love this flipping game this flipping game flipping brings me flipping sadness and flipping joy at the flipping same flipping time

### 4/5 — Thought out and researched

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.114*

Mostly interactive education. Noting one correction: ww2 german soldiers who had children they abandoned, did not love the mothers. They coercive graped them using both the war awarded authority and the lies of love. 

People who love don’t abandon.

That aside, I really appreciated the reality shared here. From how sometimes there are no right words or safe places to how poverty increases the harm society does. I appreciate those who shared their stories and those that created this way to educate how easily those who are traumatized allow their pain to be passed down. Heart wrenching to see people who were once considered less than treat children the same way in the name of their own pain.

### 5/5 — Genuinely can’t open the door

*2026-06-17, version 2.0.114*

There’s a wardrobe in the bedroom and she’s in it. I can not open it for the life of me and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Please. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong.

### 5/5 — I love this 🩷

*2026-05-29, version 2.0.114*

I played this game and discovered it when I was 16. I really dark place in my life. He didn’t fit in nowhere because of his race and I feel like that cause I’m a black sheep a outcast I love this game and I’m so happy I found out y’all made a second version. This is a perfect game if you ever wanna take care of someone else.🖤

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-05-22, version 2.0.114*

I never usually write games or apps reviews but this game really affected me. I’ve played it twice in my lifetime and I’m planning on doing that again. It’s a very very emotional game. I have never felt so sad and heart broken and happy for a game. I really hope all the people that went through a similar Experience are happy and safe. No child deserves to feel like this even if it’s just a game but it might also be very very close to to reality to some people. People from that time really have suffered from racism and something they didn’t do and I think victims in war really deserve to be helped and taking care of specially specially orphans. I deeply want to think whoever made this game and I’m really just so grateful. I don’t know how to express my myself to you. English isn’t my first language so I really apologise if anything didn’t seem clear to anyone.

### 5/5 — I loved this so much

*2026-04-26, version 2.0.114*

This game really proves that a child born of war should never be punished. Seeing my child get hurt so bad simply because he was the son of a German soldier really hurt. I cried at the ending and it sucks that many children never got their happy ending.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-25, version 2.0.114*

Such an amazing game I played it like 3 years ago and have thought about it ever since it’s such an interesting game and story I’d love more like this maybe from different timelines too and countries

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2026-04-19, version 2.0.114*

This I going to sound crazy but…I gained real affection for my child and I can’t stand the cruel people I could go on and on about it but I don’t want to spoil it.in conclusion, if you are looking to feel joy and tears this game is definitely worth the three dollars ❤️

### 5/5 — Sad but loved it :(

*2026-04-12, version 2.0.114*

She was a sweet child.. :( and she didn’t have to go through all the bullying and bad stuff.but I know it’s a game of a true story which broke my heart 😕.. by the way this game is one of my favorite games!
