About the game

Bundle of Joy is a lighthearted, story-rich, minigame romp about becoming a parent during the pandemic. Complete all your child-rearing tasks, manage your stress, find time to rest, survive the day, wake up, and do it all over again. It won't be perfect, but that's ok. You're doing your best.

    A wonderful use of mini games mechanics to explore an important facet of human experience that has been under-served by videogames. I found the game to be moving and deeply relatable. We need more games like this in the world.

    35 min played when written, mostly on Steam Deck. 5 found it helpful.

    I spent a lot of time with the demo and am happy the final version is here. Games don't create these kind of thoughtful, well-crafted experiences enough.
