Virtual Families

Categories: Demo, Download, Games, Mac Os, Sponsors, Time Management, Windows

Virtual Families is the latest virtual life simulation game released by Last Day of Work, the team behind the very popular Virtual Villagers series,  Plant Tycoon and Fish Tycoon.

In the game, players adopt a character who then begins a life: choosing if they want to marry, deciding whether to have children, furthering their career, all with the help and guidance of the player.

Virtual Families focuses on the true aspects that make a family unique, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, displaying life in all its drama and glory.

Virtual Families runs in true real-time, meaning that when the player’s computer is shut off, the game continues to progress, with the family members evolving and growing, based on what the player has taught them, even when no one is interacting with them. The game is set in bucolic suburbia and features a gorgeous hand-drawn scrolling map with a house and garden. It employs sophisticated artificial-intelligence and a varied selection of characters with quirky personalities to adopt and take care of.

There are various hurdles that appear throughout Virtual Families, from moral dilemmas – including whether or not to keep a package that was inadvertently delivered to your home, or if you should send your daughter to Paris for a modeling contract – to real-life situations such as illness, allergies, promotions and chores. Also included along the way are mini-puzzles, where family members have to find hidden objects throughout their home and garden, and trophies that can be acquired after reaching various goals throughout their journey.

  • Runs in true real-time.
  • Unique and fascinating adoptees from 1000’s of combinations.
  • Fully trainable people: shape/adapt their personalities through praising and scolding!
  • Dynamic illness system. Play doctor!
  • Over 100 trophies.
  • Hidden puzzles around the house.
  • Email ‘events’ and other random, unpredictable occurrences.
  • Weather, day/night cycles (synchronized to the player’s system clock, so it is nighttime in the game when it is nighttime where you are).

  45. clara says:

    How do they get a baby?

  46. Iamnie says:

    THEY ARE EXHAUSTED!:
    I’ve tried making them go to bed and they do keep waking up. I find if I leave them to take naps their energy will go up on its own. Don’t make them doing anything for awhile. Leave them to their own agenda and hey will take naps on their own. You can also give them energy drinks from the store in the Varied Items Section. It appears now and then.

  48. Freektown says:

    Hello, guys, I was wondering if there was a way that:

    A: You can earn money Faster…
    B: Get your children to grow up faster…
    C: Get a second Marriage

  49. Theresa says:

    The way to put out the lint on fire in the dryer is to drop a virtual person on the fire extinguisher in the shed. Then he/she will take it and put the fire out.
