i wouldn't said this is a super good game , thou is interesting idea ... the hint is a bit hard too understand and I have to look up for help just to reach an ending ... the ending wasn't too satisfied either ... is almost not worth replay the game just for other ending but i would said is unique and impactful when you have to sacrifice your creation , thou art and dialouge really make me kinda hard to kill them the first time ... but I played longer than i have too then it become numb and feel grindy , all thou this isn't a bad game , it might not be memorable but still above average

Artistically it is very well done and extremely interesting but there are some things missing that make it very annoying to play, The fact that I have to check emotions, money and working time every time at various workplaces is annoying, It should be written in small letters above and if I want more details in that case I should click on it, There are five rooms for the protagonist's daughters and it is quite It's annoying to have to go out and click on every single door. It would be more convenient to simply put arrows that allow me to go from room 5 to room 4 and so on, The secret missions for the police are done very badly. It seems if I understand correctly that you have to send a specific Type of daughter The problem is that the number of rooms is too low And there are a huge amount of possible daughters that can be created sending that specific one every time is extremely inconvenient And there is no penalty If you fail to complete them so unless you are short of money and I don't see the point in doing them, I realize that two hours is really too little to review a game but I want to let you know that I bought the game at 80% off otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, I also think that in the magic tome you should have the availability to categorize the various types of daughters that you can create not only in chronological order with how you discover them,In conclusion I am very disappointed because this seemed like a really promising game but some features still need to be refined,

if i could vote neutrally i would.
i'll say it isn't a bad game necessarily, but left me feeling disappointed after the first couple go-arounds / after achieving the proper ending. i wish i liked this game more, the premise is very interesting to me. it plays much like a monster collector/tycoon/daughter simulator/visual novel game.
the gameplay is interesting and fun for a while, though it gets mind-numbingly repetitive at a certain point, especially mid-to-late game. i'm used to playing games that are fairly monotonous, so this didn't bother me as much as it might for other people. the art style is interesting and unique, and i enjoy the character design of a lot of the characters.
what really bothers me is the writing. it repeatedly warns you of its dark content (even in the store description), which isn't bad per se, but kind of sets up this expectation that what's in the game is going to be really raw and brutal in its approach to its subject matter. unfortunately, it fails to live up to that expectation, and the result is more surface-level than it seems; to the degree that, in hindsight, the warnings almost make the devs themselves seem afraid of the subject matter. don't get me wrong, there are some dark topics in this game, especially of illegal varieties, and it feels like there was an ATTEMPT to do them justice... but the depth at which these topics are explored are shallow, and in many cases it feels like they were considered far less than they should have been. some approaches are on the cusp of being realistic, but others feel like there wasn't nearly enough research done, or that perhaps they were too nervous to dig into them any deeper than they did.
i wasn't expecting (or necessarily /wanting/) anything too graphic or explicit, but i think that if your intent with your story is to deeply disturb and write about abuses which rarely get the respect they deserve in media, then you should give them more space than just MENTIONING the topic every so often. i mean, after a while the non-daughter characters just start blatantly TELLING you their traumatic pasts (or in some cases the crimes they've done) with the subtlety of a hammer in the span of a couple sentences, and that's about it. which i KNOW can be excused as "its what the character would do", but when its literally all the characters, it reads more like just not knowing how else to tell/show/imply to the player their intentions/backstory. this gets especially damning as you approach the more sensitive and darker topics, ones which require tons of care to depict properly.
the "true" ending is also deeply disappointing and confusing, and comes so entirely out of left field - in a way which feels completely disconnected with the game itself or what it was setting up - that it almost feels like a joke ending of some kind. it makes me think that they wanted to write a story much bigger than this, but realized the gameplay wouldn't allow for it, and just mashed all of it in at the end and hoped that it'd be an "interesting" "deep" "twist" ending.
the dialogue is stiff and blatant, and almost always plays into cliches/archetypes. the characters (including your daughters) are hard to care about - even in moments when its clear they /want/ you to - and un-immersive because of the unrealistic dialogue; hard to describe this, but it feels like i can tell i'm playing a game, rather than learning to care about this story and its characters. this is not good for the visual novel side of it. part of me wants to think its perhaps a translation issue at times, but even if it were written linguistically with more grace, the 'bad writing' extends even into how the concepts are handled, rather than only the language used.
i feel a little bad, because i can tell a lot of love and effort and personal meaning went into this game. if you dont mind repetitive gameplay and don't mind the possibility of unsatisfying writing, then by all means feel free to play it. i just found myself deeply, deeply disappointed by the writing.

This is a fairly short and simple game, aking a lot to old web browser games. But the style and athmosphere is lovely and intriguing. This is the kind of game where you really have to care to learn about the story to see past the simple gameplay if you want to 100% it. It is a good pick up if you are looking to play something that does not require too much of the player and just want something nice and simple.

My Lovely Daughter was second encounter of My Lovely series for me, and all of them have same dark and twisted theme, with different settings and situations, but between My Lovely Wife and Daughter there isn’t much diversity in setting and gameplay, it’s more of the same mostly, which is a good thing in this case.

As evident from screenshots, design here is handdrawn sketch - it’s left intentionally a bit rough to additionally convey the world you get dropped in. This style hopefully once again would make this game playable for years to come without any eyebleeding. Looks of aforementioned “daughters” are pretty much symbols of what they represent and their characters and ofc make it much harder to part with them.

Audio is not much to talk about - it’s there and enough to serve games purpose, not breaking immersion.

Gameplay is 50% management and 50% visual novel, you got to develop relationships and progress the story via novel part, and spend ton of time doing management aspect to have enough resources and money to not encounter game over and progress part of story too. It’s not a hardcoretitle in terms of tough gameplay, only plot and decision-wise.

So, plot is main attraction and it is very bleak and twisted, protagonist you play as is not a good person and it might be hard sometimes to associate with his actions, though it’s understandable where he is coming from. Losing beloved person and then being told there is an option of bringing them back might turn lots of people to wrong deeds. There are lots of endings with overwhelming majority of them being bad in one way or another, even if they are considered a “good ending”.

In the beginning, My Lovely Daughter is a very interesting and fun management simulator. However , the fun runs out fast when you're aiming for the "true" ending, when you fail again and again with absolutely no progress towards your goal and little to no guidance or advice to what you have to do. I've tried ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything to get the right affinities, and it felt like nothing I did mattered.

Another game I wish we had a star rating for over a plain yes or no. I really did enjoy the first "half" of the game. While the beginning was a bit silly, I enjoyed making the homonculus and sending them to work and the initial thrill of putting together new ingredients to make the new creatures, but it soon lost its charm because there was nothing else to really discover or unearth. The storyline with the inquisitor... Well, I'm not going to ruin it for anyone, but it just wasn't good in the end.

I do have the bundle for these games and hoping some of the things that were lacking in the first game were improved on in the next ones.

If you are looking for the good ending of this game. I wish you the best of luck. After hours of fiddling with the different combinations, I finally gave up and did a Google search, only to learn... Well, there is no real solution and it changes every single time. I guess they were going for replayability, but no one's going to replay this once they get all the endings. It's honestly not made for that type of gameplay. But I will say I recommend it because I did enjoy my time with it initially and I got it on sale, so I don't feel like I didn't get my money's worth.

I remembered this game from my childhood and how much I loved watching youtubers play it. It's not the most complicated game but its very fun if you like to grind without actually thinking too hard. I still feel the same warm feelings about it I had as a kid even now finally getting to play it myself. The saving system being nonexistent is a bit annoying but its not even necessarily hard to get the progress back.

Played this game 7 years ago and loved it. Never finished all the achievements and it was stuck on my mind so I came back and finished it out 2 years ago. Interesting story line and the game mechanics are kind of neat in how they make you think like the main character... the first sacrifice is hard to make but by the end you're just dealing with it like a factory...
The game has the irritating mechanic of deleting your save file after certain endings, so if you want to come back and try different endings without replaying the whole thing I recommend backing up your saves.

I have loved this series for a long time and recommend it but I can admit that it's not for everyone. First of all, if you aren't into management games, with repeated loops and limited story, this ain't for you.

Казалось бы клишированный сюжет действительно достаёт из своего шкафа скелет - во всяком случае, так показалось мне. Но эта игра не совсем про сюжет.

Простейший геймплей этой игры, на удивление, крайне увлекает - как минимум становится интересно создать все типы гомункулов.
Минус - для достижения пары концовок игра для вас превратится в гриндилку и кликер. Единственная мотивация - ачивки; иначе даже не стал бы заморачиваться. И, в целом, не ждите, что за пару часов сможете выбить все концовки.

Прекрасный саундтрек, который иногда нагнетает, иногда расслабляет, а иногда просто создаёт атмосферу этой игры. Я бы отметил саму запись звука, особенно на карте города.

Идея, которую я подчерпнул из My Lovely Daughter, разъедает изнутри своей бесконечной грустью и жестокостью: на что готов пойти человек, чтобы воскресить одну, ту самую, настоящую? Сможет ли он убить своё творение, которое также обладает душой, разумом, телом, чувствами и желанием жить? Будет ли человек счастлив после этого? А будет ли та самая прежней после воскрешения? А хочет ли она воскресать?

Этих вопросов можно найти много, ведь искусство - оно на то и искусство: не нужно искать глубинный смысл, вложенный разработчиками, если он не очевиден либо если они не рассказали, в чём же он заключается. Лучше самому ознакомиться с творением автора и этот смысл определить для себя.

do you wanna feel awful?
be the bad guy, be forced to do morally bad deeds?

welcome to My lovely daughter, where you have to create and slay many of your pseudo children to save your real kid
you will be emotionally crushed on every step of this journey, but it's surely an interesting one

the experience is quite unique, art, music and atmosphere are awesome, worth 10€

it can get a bit tedious and confusing by the end, so here are 2 spoilerfree tips:

1# always pray to right omens
2# give gifts
3# if you get stuck at two strikes, all need to be atleast 300 and one atleast 200 above others

It's a very interesting game that surprises with its original concept. I really liked most of it, but I still think the gameplay could be expanded. After about an hour, when the player realizes what the ending process looks like, they'll be doing basically the same thing for the next hour or so. However, the art style and soundtrack are really nice, and the whole experience is saved by the game's idea.

My modern type of rating would be: NO. It doesn't feel like time worth spent.
Gameloop is quite boring to begin with and gets repetitive real fast. Also there are no quality of life upgrades (except for auto job suggestion, but that can sometimes screw you in the Inquisitor questline)

But, the story seemed interesting and somewhat relatable.
[spoiler]Except that the ending did not seem to make much sense. Faust regains most of his memories, still wants to save his daughter, gets betrayed one final time. Cool. He is put into different body, back in time somehow, thinks about getting his life back but then poisons and kills his wife and daughter? That felt bit weird. So my favourite ending is Rich King for sure.[/spoiler]

玩法挺简单的，流程也很单调。献祭女儿时的尖叫音效挺精神污染的，几小时玩下来也确实感受到现实层面的伤害。
从简介就能看出是黑深残路线。但奈何我吃这一口，包括游戏画风在内都挺对我胃口。

It gets a yes, but only when on a steep sale and only if you know what you're getting into.

The art, character designs, and base concept are all great, but the *execution* (ba dum tss) is extremely tedious and the narrative delivery ends up feeling...shallow.

The game also autosaves and your file is deleted after each run which makes unlocking all of the endings - and achievements - torturous. Do yourself a favor if you grab this and backup your save folder before you finish a run if you plan on hunting them all.

Muy buena novela visual, para ser que no me gusta tanto el genero (odio leer en pantalla [strike] no veo nada [/strike], pero disfruto mucho de una buena historia) logró engancharme desde el comienzo y me mantuvo con el interés de sacar todos los finales; no hay final malo y final bueno como tal, hay distintas posibilidades... vamos a llamarle final fácil y final trabajoso jaja. Tiene un twist interesante, aunque con algunas inconsistencias pero bueno, poquita cosa a esa altura. Tiene suspenso, algo de horror, dilemas morales, y trama por momentos medio turbina, y si. El diseño de cada homúnculo es precioso, te mandan cartitas que están sorpresivamente muy bien, transmiten el sentimiento, tienen personalidad... yo compré, me gustó de verdad.

I can't say it was a fun game — way too grindy, and not exactly the strongest ending — but...

I really enjoyed the game!

- The NPCs aren’t deep, but they’re interesting to interact with
- The art style is really charming
- The homunculus are designed pretty neat
- The game loop is interesting

Though there are several things that... were difficult:

I would have loved for the MC to be silent. He lost his memories at the start of the game — so why give him such harsh words?
I was sometimes pained when having to kill a homunculus pleading to live, or making peace with death,
only for the MC to seem delighted with the kill...

It’s grindy, but for me it was more a matter of quality-of-life:
no way to skip animations, no way to copy saves, no Escape key for quick menu exit — and the save gets deleted once an ending is completed!
That part was especially difficult since I was hunting the achievements.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience.
I'm just sad to see that the following games don’t seem as grimy as this one.
Still, might give them a shot — once I’m ready to grind again ;).

[i]The artstyle and concept is interesting[/i], and I'm a fan of the macabre. With that said, I do believe all of the warnings about [b]how dark and disturbing it is[/b] actually ended up softening the impact of what you were doing. After one or two sacrifices you realize, "ah this is gonna be the whole thing," and get over it. Especially when you're on sacrifice #50+, and there's no actual incentive to bond with the homunculi beyond the bare minimum to keep them from running away.

[i]The gameplay[/i] is resource management and imposed pacing. It was a lot of fun initially, and trying to figure out which materials made which homunculous/traits was enjoyable. It wasn't until all of the combinations were made and the fifth attempt at resurrecting the daughter that the game became incredibly dull. Like, [b]extremely[/b] grindy, especially if you're unfortunate and don't get the formula range right.
I ended up closing the game after getting 5 of the ending achievements with no intention to actually finish it. I loaded it up one more time for a single attempt at finishing it, and got lucky. Which leads me to...

[i]The story[/i]. The NPCs were alright, decently interesting. I liked what you're doing as the MC and the premise behind it. The intrigue behind the book was cool, as was the whole idea of "perfecting a soul." The ending squashed all of that though.
[spoiler]Aha! YOU were really Warlock all along! The cycle continues!![/spoiler] .....Was an extremely unsatisfying way to end the game after you spent hours grinding to get to it. It wasn't bad, it just feels unfulfilling for what it takes to get there. Maybe as a comic, or a more point-and-click kind of VN, would it have been more enjoyable.

[b]tl;dr[/b]
Fun on sale, though you might lose interest before finishing it.

Fun and interesting game. There is a lot of variety with the creations you can make. If you like reading there is a lot of interactions with the creations and the village people.

The in town part gets pretty repetitive after a couple of hours. You wind up failing a lot and having to just grind out the town jobs more to pass time and get ingredients, money, etc. I guess there was a bit more depth and variety to the town/job part of the game.

Imagine painstakingly resurrecting your daughter again and again, taking careful notes to get the ratios just right, and then being greeting with a story where the protagonist literally says, "Wait, that's not my daughter, that's Master Warlock!"

I had no idea who Master Warlock was; this was the first time this NPC was mentioned in my game.

I didn't think it was possible to get even more disappointed, but then I looked up how to get "The Truth" ending, where I learned that the game author did not know how to end their own story.

That being said, the game play was almost engaging enough to be worth it.

Almost.

Yes, this game has a very dark theme to it. The devs did warn both in the description and right when you open the game. If someone has a problem with that, they clearly did not read the multiple warnings.

不得不说你浮士德哥还是很有手法的，先不说巫术如何，他对不同种类的合成人能以不同手法针对性的冷漠地杀了他们，光是这点就已经很牛逼了。浮士德每周杀的女儿比屠夫经手的肉还多。

再说游戏玩法，我是因为玩了后出的老婆才对女儿感兴趣的，但是现在回过头来想想，老婆那部也并不是很有趣。我能玩到普通结局是因为那一部是全彩的，而女儿这一部，美术风格我也不能说不喜欢，只是如果说你这个风格给我讲一个有趣的黑暗故事的话，那我会很喜欢，但是这玩法是个SIM游戏，养成经营类游戏搞这种风格我就会感觉，怎么说呢，反正体验并不是很良好。
断断续续玩了三个多小时，每次打开游戏就是重复的点各个设施然后回家造女儿鲨女儿，游戏内容很少，玩法就相当的枯燥；从最初不忍心对合成女儿下手也成了到后面造一个鲨一个刷四种情绪值，虽然这很正常，但是我觉得这其实挺影响游戏体验的，明明做的依旧是很残酷的事情，但是因为习惯了我们便能对此熟视无睹，习以为常的去做这件事吗？
解锁了三个结局，每个结局就两句话，真的不是我说你，这作为结局真的有些太短了，因为不合适所以直接就把刚注入的灵魂抽出来了，这跟杀合成女儿的心态一模一样，完全不把复活的女儿当人了。不过要这么说的话也确实符合男主的现状。
说实在的其实我还是挺在意他复活女儿的最终结局到底会是什么样的，不过实在是没那个耐心了。而且如果万一结局是包饺子，哇我终于把女儿成功复活了哦我可爱的女儿啊，并不是说团圆结局不好，但是如果真搞这种结局那我估计心态得直接崩了。

我没能玩到真结局就发不推荐，我有问题，但是我玩不到真结局就跳出来发不推荐，说明游戏本身其实也有问题，我其实玩SIM游戏挺上头的，但是这一部，确实推荐不出手去。

I can't recommend My Lovely Daughter. While the premise is intriguing, the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive and overly grindy. The dark, unsettling themes might appeal to some, but it feels more like shock value without meaningful depth. The micro-management of experiments is tedious, and the pacing leaves little room for actual enjoyment. For a game that relies so heavily on its emotional impact, it falls short in making those moments truly resonant. Overall, it's a game that's more frustrating than fun.

It'd be a good read if it's just a short novel with interesting concept.

It's not that disturbing tbh, just killing kids that were acting like they trusted you. It was sad at first but then I had to replay from the start several times, murdering hundreds of my homunculi children. I lost my sympathy like our main man, only wanting to reach the end goal regardless of the lives taken.
I just got sick of replaying it to get the achievements tbh.

I really love the amount of art and effort put into it, I love that the creator loves their idea. I bought the reborn dlc and the artbook, mainly because they were on sale, but still real good art. There aren't many differences between having sons and daughters, but a few of them do send different letters. I think one of the sprites for the male Ataran was messed up, and I like how the male Titanium has the same looks without the mask.

I don't recommend this if you like hundred percenting achievements, but it is a game experience. If you're unsure on buying it, wait for a sale to drop :)

这四个多小时是分好几次玩的，游戏概念是不错的，美工我也喜欢，但就是玩法太容易腻了。每次搞几个合成人出来，工作刷等级杀掉，虽说可以送礼物，但送了特殊礼物对白也没啥特殊变化，陪玩也是一张差不多的图加一句话玩得很开心结束，感情到最高级了也就是个数字，各个合成人虽然长得不一样但总共就只有四套对话可以触发，养一个跟养几个只有外观和献祭CG上的差别,。总之就是没啥养女儿的感觉，因为真女儿出来就Ending了。大概直接买设定集看起来会更爽些，游戏还是没必要玩了。

This game is very evocative of older flash games, particularly the edgy ones. And much like those older flash games, the narrative sort of falls on its face at the end as the devs desperately try to contrive an explanation for the game's events. The gameplay loop is simple, but the game is short enough that it doesn't outstay its welcome.

Cringy in an inoffensive and nostalgic sort of way.

I want to like this game but it is also very visceral, despite being fantasy giving a very real presentation of child abuse, so while I think it is a decent game it is also difficult to play at times. Play My Lovely Wife or Empress instead.

Not sure where to start.
Let's start with simple things. The visual style is great. The music is nice. The gameplay loop is interesting. The plot itself is ok, but I have a small issue with the way it's told.
A bit more complex things. The protagonist looks like a sadist. Yes, you need to do very unethical things to progress, but the protagonist cranks up the violence level unnecessarily high. On the other hand, it may be needed to make player's actions feel more impactful. The game that comes to mind as a comparison is Bioshock. You also may need to do evil stuff there, but the screen just goes black after you press a button. Sure, there are other ways to make the player feel bad about their actions, but here the developers chose grotesque violence.
The other thing that I'd like to mention is the notification that appears at the start of the game. It informs you that the game was inspired by the things that happen in dev's place of origin and was designed to make you feel bad. The first thing – it's just sad. There are places in the world where people live in terrible conditions, and it's understandable that the developers want to spread the word. But I would prefer to figure out the allegory during the gameplay (like it was done in spec-ops: the line), or during the credits. And I'm not sure that the "it'll make you feel bad" notification is required at all. But hey, I'm sure the developers had a reason to make it this way.
[b]Also, don't forget to install a free dlc. It's supposed to add a bit more gameplay, but I don't know, since I found out about it only after completing the game.[/b]

Сам геймплей.... Мда... Выращиваешь и втираешься в доверие к монстро-девочкам/дочерям. А потом убиваешь их как Бондрюд. Чувствуешь себя последней скотиной. Конечно можно выбрать рут пацифиста в начале, но это как в 4м фар крае.

So the game gives you a disclaimer about being disturbing and stuff but as far as it went, there was nothing I would deem really disturbing. But it still manages to achieve that it is not fun to play at all, just not the way it wants to by making the player uncomfortable but simply by being incredibly repetitive. It's a micromanagement simulator that's just a microtransaction button away from being a glorified mobile game.

But to end on a positive note, I like the artstyle.

Maybe I just haven't played enough of the game but I didn't get any "distubing" parts? Maybe just knowing that I need to kill those homonculi at some point doesn't make me feel as connected to them.
The story itself is just plain and boring, the main character just "recalls" a thing every now and then and acts like it's the most important revelation of all times or as far as I've played, anyways. It's just very annoying, no intellectual person (as is painted to be, as he is a alchemist/scientist) would react like that. It's just kinda stupid.
I saw the negative reviews but still wanted to give this game a shot, thinking maybe I'd be more interested in this, since it was promised to be disturbing, but it simply isn't.
The gameplay also just gets really repetetive.

The only good thing I can say about this game is that its artstyle is not bad.
I could only recommend this to people that like management games.

1.一款国产作品，玩法本质上是“经营养成”，画风相对阴惨，含有不少冷漠的死法描写，全流程在10h以内。
2.但是缺点也是比较容易显露出来的——可玩深度太浅，养成面太过单薄，导致上述的心理体验只在前期一小时内能够大彰存在。另外，“自动工作”的功能也有bug，或者需要改进。
3.但我得说这款游戏在氛围体验上是成功的，哪怕是成功让玩家感到心弦不宁，对自己的选择迟疑犹豫也是一种成功。另一方面，一面进行禁忌的实验，一面帮助各种村民，了解他们的故事（再加上检察官DLC的剧情），能得以窥见制作组在世界观和剧本或说立意上是挺有想法的。
4.游玩之前，记得将免费DLC检察官的内容也给下载下来，因为有额外剧情及相关成就。全成就不难，建议备份存档及配合Steam指南食用。
5.原价挺贵的，建议等打折到二十以内再考虑。有官中，无集卡。
6.最喜欢的人造人是“钛”和“美人鱼”！还有一个小建议就是，在合成人房间界面，给每个房间门都附上合成人的头像，方便辨识。

Genuinely made me feel like a piece of ♥♥♥♥, so the developers achieved exactly what they intended.
The first few screams of the girls as I chose to sacrifice them truly rattled me, but later on, when I saw the end goal within reach, I lost any remorse or feeling as I had been engulfed in mania to revive our daughter.

The cycle of abuse, the cold and calloused protagonist, the trial and error, and the pain of the homunculi.
All of this together creates the tense and manic atmosphere that I sunk into as I binged this game attempting not only get the resolution to the story, but also to dive deeper into the details of the homunculi and the steps taken to get to the end.
