The Parenting Simulator
Short description
This is a story where you do something more terrifying than entering a haunted house, more dangerous than assaulting an alien horde, and more important than ruling a fantasy kingdom. You, and you alone, must turn your newborn baby into a functional adult. Will you be a tiger mom or a helicopter dad?

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $4.79, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $5.99 launch price. That is 20% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
