A new fair-haired daughter wings her way into the heart of a doting father who provides guidance and scheduling for proper growth and refinement. The game starts off when the daughter is 10 years old.

   The main game screen is broken up into data points where the upper left corner shows the date and the upper right lists the daughter's name, age, and money. Below that, important data such as education level, height, weight, and even measurements are listed. Finally, the main action options are shown (in English) which allows father to perform the following actions:

STATUS - Check daughter's physical/mental attributes and stats
TALK - Command daughter to perform an action
HEALTH - Check daughter's health regimen
ITEM - View daughter's inventory of clothing and accessories
SHOP - Visit stores to procure goods and products
SYSTEM - Save data, load data, etc
SCHEDULE - View and/or plan upcoming activities for the month

   The daughter's stats will change depending on how she applies herself to studying, working, and the arts. For example, working will improve her strength and vitality at the expense of her mental prowess. If she studies all the time, her physical condition will be sacrificed for brains. Daughter will change and grow depending on how balanced her activities are but her path will be decided once she reaches 18 years of age upon which time her profession is chosen.

   The daughters stats are broken up into thirteen different parameters which are gauged by little bars as follows:

Strength
Intellect
Charm
Pride
Morality
Grace
Receptivity
Nature
Eminence
Military Arts
Grammar
Honor
Vitality

   As the daughter grows from age 10 to 18, her physical appearance will change from preteen (age 10-12) to teenager (age 13-15) to adult woman (16-18). Although her face is generally the same as before, it will become longer and sharper as she grows older while her body also elongates.

   Scheduling plays an important part of the game where the daughter may study, indulge in combat training, learn the ways of polite society, practice magic, train in the fine arts, and also practice grace and charm. All of the activities will affect her sensibilities, manners, mind, and other attributes which all contribute to her becoming a productive member of society. There are 14 occupations that the daughter may grow into along with some special professions that will result if certain conditions are met. Some examples of her professions include maid, house keeper, farmer, waitress, stripper, bartender, casino dealer, and others.

   If your daughter becomes a stripper, you would have broken Chris Rock's law of raising daughters - "Keep her off the pole."
