nothing could’ve prepared me for this game! You did an incredible job! A 20 minute experience stayed on my mind for hoursssss! The story, the art style, the multiple twists and turns and realizations BRAVO on a masterpiece ‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 and I definitely cried—during my playthrough and while editing!
I saw this game going around the past couple days I thought the style looked interesting. I wasn't prepared for the ride I got. Brilliant stuff, I can't wait to see what you do in the future! ^^
A lot of indie horror games handle the themes of absentee parents/alcoholism/mental disorders in a very clumsy or haphazard way, but Bad Parenting was such a refreshing take on some of these dark themes. The cartoonish art style was reminiscent of ye olde stop-motion animation films and this mirrored the palpable feeling that something wasn't quite right in the household. This game led me down a rabbit hole, and I certainly wasn't prepared for the end result!
By using 'Ron Jr' (as I called the doll in my playthrough) as a way to relay the message across using the imagination of the child was enthralling, and it felt like as I neared the heart-wrenching conclusion it was like I didn't want to find out the truth. I really didn't want to find out the truth.
Captivating, mesmerising and unique in a way that sets this a bar above most indie horrors.
I typically don't enjoy games that get too dark with topics of alcoholism and child abuse, but I think this one handled it well. It's grotesque, it's dark, but I think it's handled with tact. When we reunite with the kids at the end I feel like my mind was blown, so now I'm trying to piece out how they end up there in future stories..good work!
Absolutely loved this game, I can't wait for the next spin-off. Kudos to the dev!, the game really touched my soul and was shocked by the truth reveal. 10/10
That was really good! I do have to say there is just a couple issues - the first is that whenever I enter a new area, the sensitivity I had changes for some reason and I have to keep resetting it. The second, well, not really an issues I guess - but I feel the game sort of overexplained what was happening near the end. I think it would've been better off with creepy implications instead of literal information being given.
Aside from that dude, it was an amazing indie game and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I also sincerely appreciate the sound effects used for the voices, those things always have so much charm and lately when indie devs settle for boring AI VAs, its nice to see someone care about their work. Good stuff!
Wow, what an amazing and depressing game. The game's visuals and sound design was very well made and established the environment this kid was living in very well. The game's story was also really solid and almost made me cry, and has a satisfying conclusion. Great work and I'm excited for the sequel!
wow, the way this game was able to get it's message across using the imagination of a child was really captivating! can't wait to play the 2nd installment

I'm a Japanese.
The story was great...!
I'm looking forward to the next one!
Japanese translation, if you use ‘DeepL’, it will be more natural!
If there are any other problems with the translation, just let me know! I will send it to the translator. Thanks for the feedback.
Perfect! 10/10
