Co-op play is a huge deal to gamers that want to play with their friends, especially now where friends can’t always get together like the days of their childhood. Jammed Up Studios and Fellow Traveler have come together to put a twist on normal party games. Although Think of the Children! is not exactly a party game, it is funny and mixes the daily lives of parents with the tasks they need to do in order to keep their kids alive.
As a group of parents in this cute and pixelated styled environment, you must run around and supervise your children and hopefully keep them from dying. If you don’t then you’re more than likely going to jail and no one wants that.
Run around as a group to keep your kids out of the street, playing with rabid dogs or from falling in the pool. As if parents aren’t already stressed enough with raising a child, they also have to make sure to keep their adult tasks in line too. Setting up pinatas and getting tables ready for parties are a big deal too.
Multiple areas are available to play but no site is safe. Just because you choose the nice little campsite doesn’t mean dangers aren’t lurking around every tree and firepit. On a positive note, families of players can save their characters, track their levels and more. For streamers that want to play, Jammed Up has even added a feature to let you go for it.
Overall Think of the Children! Is a cute frantic task simulator. There will be funny moments and some that make you and your friends question your sanity. Everyone will have fun though and laugh at the ridiculous scenarios in which their children could possibly die. The goal is to keep them alive, stay out of jail and make your parental level soar to new heights!
