The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the battle mechanics and minigames to be lackluster and unnecessary. Many feel that the growth system lacks strategic depth, as it primarily benefits the player's character without offering meaningful challenges or exploration elements typical of the genre. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, the gameplay is criticized for its simplicity and lack of engaging mechanics.
“Even though the battle mechanic is my least favorite part of the game, and the minigames were odd to play despite them relying on stats for the competitions, I think it's nice.”
“I don't get the point of this mechanic; I thought you would have to be strategic in when you grow to get the best outcome, but growing only helps you, always - your daughter becomes stronger, can take on more jobs, and unlocks more events.”

“Love the way the story unfolds as the days pass; however, it desperately needs a way to make the day pass faster for later evolutions.”
