welcome to your Lifelike Child

Your journey to healing and forgiveness begins now.

welcome to Your Lifelike Child is a short user guide-diving game where you must navigate the instructions for your brand new robot boy. Explore over 10,000 of words of disturbing, corporate-speak instructions, engage with the child as if it were real (or don't), and keep your spouse's spirits high as you both navigate this exciting new time.

Find partial and detailed content warnings on the title screen of the game.

Inspirations include satirical sci-fi like Black Mirror, teenage engineering's minimalist online product guides and the art from the PC-88 version of Mystery House.

Art, writing, and game design by Westin Lee, with audio design by Andy Petruzzo and copyediting by Kolby Baumgartner. Thanks to friends across the industry and Glitch City for support and feedback.
