An interesting passive game where you play as a rookie god who is instructed by the Great God to guide a family so it continues for 1000 years. A lot of game descriptions say that you play as Cupid, but Cupid is your partner who supports you by shooting arrows that have various effects. He will also tell you about the family's status and help you save the game.
Some family members are troublemakers, or lazy, and you have to keep a close eye on them or they will cause your family line to end. It happened a couple of times where my family would be happy, rich, living in a big house, and I'd come back with them having no money and there being almost no more family members. My family line barely survived those situations.
There are certain arrows that last for 5 years and they will be visible on the family member with a huge arrow sticking out of their head. It was funny seeing a smiling baby running around with a giant arrow sticking out of them. Some of the outcomes of the worries and goals seem random, so even some good choices can end up turning out bad. It did add difficulty to the game.
It did get tedious after a while because it takes about 10 minutes to calculate the family's actions if you haven't played for a day, so you need to let it sit for that long until you can play. It seems like this is a game that you can just play for a few minutes here and there, but the update feature prevented that.
Overall it as a unique concept and I think the good outweigh the bad. May the Sanbonchiku family live for many more 1000s of years.
