New Family is a heartfelt narrative journey where you rebuild life within an unconventional household. As an orphaned teen, forge bonds through shared struggles and joys with your adoptive kin. Your choices shape trust, resolve conflicts, and redefine “family” in this emotional sim. Will love blossom, or will buried secrets tear your new home apart?
Found Family Dynamics
1. Cultivate unique bonds: tutor a younger sibling in math to earn their admiration, or clash with a guarded teen over shared trauma.
2. Influence household roles: encourage a reclusive artist to lead family art nights or push a workaholic to prioritize movie marathons.
3. Uncover hidden histories: discover why the matriarch avoids hospitals or how a brother’s military past haunts his parenting style.
Collaborative Survival & Growth
1. Manage limited resources: budget grocery funds as a group or risk hoarding snacks, sparking tensions during lean weeks.
2. Co-renovate a dilapidated farmhouse: assign tasks based on skills—repair roofs with a handyman uncle or garden with a green-thumbed cousin.
3. Celebrate micro-victories: organize surprise birthdays with handmade gifts or mourn collective losses like a pet’s passing.
Community Integration & Ripple Effects
1. Navigate small-town politics: defend your family’s eccentric reputation at town halls or exploit gossip to secure favors from skeptical neighbors.
2. Forge external alliances: partner with a local diner for part-time work, gaining income but straining family time.
3. Trigger town-wide events: rally the community to save the family’s home from developers or let gentrification erase their legacy.
Healing & Fractured Trust
1. Balance vulnerability: share your orphanage trauma to deepen connections or mimic personas to please others, risking burnout.
2. Mediate internal crises: stop a sibling’s self-destructive spiral by involving outsiders or handle it privately, for better or worse.
3. Unlock 10+ endings: unite the family as a lifelong support system, fracture it through betrayal, or walk away to find independence.
