Description
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.



Multi-tasking mayhem
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.

Parenting is hard
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!

Nowhere is safe
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.

All kinds of families welcome
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.

UX improvements needed

It could be a fun game, but it isn't. Keyboard controls are basically unusable; expect to use a gamepad to get anywhere. It only uses the mouse as a menu selector. It could be worked out much better than that. The game tries to show key tips, but it doesn't do it well unless you just use letters. UI's got a lot of issues. Starting a game shows the xbox-style "join game" screen (including the "Press [Green A] to join". Lose a level? You see giant numbers flashing covering the entire screen while you can still interact with everything. It's easy to miss the tiny text in the corner that says "tap [key]" to retry. Where no key that I've assigned appears to do anything. I get what the game's trying to do -- a frantic action game that pulls you many directions at once to accomplish everything you need (basically, directed button mashing). It's just not doing it well.

Not a singleplayer experience

Got this as a random key purchase. While it could have been somewhat entertaining, there is a problem. The game is meant for co-op play. If you try to play this solo you will be severly overwhelmed by the tasks.. While it could be fun if you have friends to play this with and have a controller (because the main traget was definitely not the PC), otherwise I dont think you will enjoy this.
