I Raised Snow White!

01. Snow White

[Episode 1] – Snow White

Since I was little, I have liked training simulation games.

There are numerous game genres in the world, so why was it a breeding simulation? Even if you think about it, there was no big reason. It was just because it was nice to see the characters growing through my hands.

So, when it comes to breeding simulation games, I didn’t choose any genre.

From egg-shaped games sold at stationery stores to the latest games. I’ve been eating this and that since I was a child, and I’ve become the best Yellowy who can’t use any breeding simulation games.

However, the breeding simulation game was not a very popular genre, and maybe it was because I had been playing games of the same genre for such a long time that I started to feel tired and tired of the occasional new games.

At the moment I wondered if I should break away from the breeding simulation genre and move on to another game, an indie game released without a rumor caught my eye.

[Snow White Princess]

To be literal, it’s just ‘Snow White’

This new game, which has a gameplay reminiscent of ‘Princess Maker’, the beginning of parenting simulation game, was a ‘parenting simulation game’ developed by an overseas indie game company.

The initial story of the game was simple.

In a medieval fantasy world set in the fairy tale ‘Snow White’, the player became a ‘king who lost his queen’ and raised a ‘little princess’ who was left alone.

Unsurprisingly, there was no Korean language support, and there was no domestic site where you could get information to see if rumors didn’t spread that much after the release.

I was worried that the game’s reviews were ‘mostly negative’, but the price of the game was cheap and the illustrations were cute, so should I try it? I thought.

It is said that there are dozens of endings, and there was no game worth playing anyway. I pressed the purchase button with a light heart, saying, ‘If it’s not fun, I’ll refund it.’

That’s how I fell in love with this game.

“Ah… I am going crazy. This is why the game reviews are negative…”

[BAD END]

I scratched my head in annoyance as I watched the letters floating in red on the monitor. How many times is it? I saw that [BAD END] Letter.

[Snow White Princess]

So this game ‘Snow White’ was a painful game in many ways.

Usually, ‘parenting simulation games’ are games that teach young daughters to study, work part-time jobs, go on adventures together, or go through various ‘events’ to raise their daughters.

Depending on how the player raised her daughter, she will be a good person, a normal person, or a bad person. It is a normal ‘parenting simulation game’ to feel healing while watching your daughter grow up.

I played Snow White expecting that too…

This ‘Snow White’ was completely different.

It was not a parenting simulation game, but a roguelike game disguised as a parenting simulation game. A roguelike game that annoys the player to the point of even that.

“…He died again.”

Befitting the name of the game ‘Snow White’, there was a villain that everyone knew about in this game. She looks into the mirror and talks to herself, a crazy woman who is jealous of the little princess’ looks.

Snow White’s stepmother, a woman called the Mirror Witch in the story.

‘Vivian Liliensole.’

It was the culprit that turned this parenting simulation game into a roguelike game. It is also shocking that parenting simulation games have endings in which a child dies, but there were not just one or two of those endings.

Sometimes she dies by eating poison, sometimes she dies from a curse, and sometimes she gets stabbed to death while sleeping. Even if I only saw this kind of death ending, it was over 20 by default.

It would have been normal for normal people to either delete the game after seeing the bed ending a few times or leave a long critical comment on a game site, but I was a little different.

A happy ending that I happened to see by chance really kept me from getting out of this game. I, who saw the happy future of my daughter who grew up through all kinds of hardships…

I was determined to collect all the happy endings.

It wasn’t that easy. Nurturing in this game was not simply done with the daughter’s ability parameter. The element of extreme luck. Without Heaven’s help, there could be no happy future for her daughter.

And the luck factor alone wasn’t enough. With just one choice mistake, the daughter she had worked so hard to raise for dozens of hours died. This game was a game that required thorough choice management.

And to be vicious about the subject of a game without a save function, the number of deaths of the daughter has been saved at the end of the screen so far. Every time the number increased, I kicked my tongue at the viciousness of the developer.

The number at the end of the screen pointed to 120.

The number of happy endings was only 5 times. Thinking that I couldn’t stand it any longer, I threw away my pride and searched the internet for strategies.

However, as an unpopular foreign indie game, there was no information about this game on the Korean site. Even if it popped up in search, it was just a bunch of articles written by people who were burnt by the game, swearing at the developer.

There weren’t that many overseas users. There were several endings written on overseas wikis, but only ending spoilers for those who gave up without seeing the ending.

I thought that my daughter’s happy ending was meaningless unless I saw it myself, so I stopped looking for strategies after this.

The number at the end of the screen pointed to 210.

The number of happy endings has increased to 15. Now, until the middle, the daughter was able to go without dying, but the witch’s check became more severe as the second half progressed.

Occasionally I was tired of watching the bad ending and thought I didn’t want to do it anymore, but when I saw the empty ‘true ending achievement’ column in the achievement column, I continued raising children again.

It’s too much to see all the happy endings, but shouldn’t we see the true ending?

“Today morning, I have a part-time job in the kitchen to build up my stamina, and fill up the dignity lost from kitchen work with classes… Also, to avoid puberty early, I have to take a break every 5 days… Good.”

The more I dig into it, the more fun it is. Lots of characters and lots of jobs. Not just parenting, but farming, cooking, fishing, raising horses, horse racing, battles, etc… There were also some pretty fun daily content.

If it weren’t for the presence of witches, this game would have been highly rated. The more I played this game, the more it showed the aspect of a ‘parenting simulation game’.

“Whoa…”

So, the number at the end of the screen pointed to 340.

[True Ending]

Snow White, wearing a golden crown, ascends the throne.

After ascending the throne, Snow White smiled and looked down. How could he not laugh? The witch who had been tormenting her until now is writhing in her agony beneath her own self.

Tak! Tadak! Widely!

The witch laughs.

She sheds tears, struggles in agony and laughs.

The witch with the iron shoes on the fire, she danced beautifully at the succession ceremony of the new queen. Beautiful and elegant to the end. The witch ended her life by adorning her succession ceremony with such a beautiful dance.

“After…”

For Snow White, whom I raised, to become queen.

That was the true ending of this game. Well, I expected it, and when I thought it was not a bad ending, tears came to my eyes as I remembered the hardships I had so far.

How much you struggled to see this ending so far. A parenting simulation game mixed with a roguelike. Will there ever be a game like this in my life again?

After the true ending, a small system window appeared at the bottom of the screen. [Queen Ending]. With the system alerting me that I had seen the true ending, I clicked on the little system window.

[Queen Ending].

Only 0.1% Of all players get it.

“I knew it would be like this…”

0.1%. I don’t know how many total players there are, but it’s definitely not that many. Most of them will see the bitter taste of the witch in the beginning and fold it as it is.

With a feeling of satisfaction, I closed the game window and looked for a strategy guide after a long time. I must have seen the true ending. Being tired, I wondered if it would be okay to roughly view the other endings as spoilers.

“I saw the ending of the academy teacher, I saw the ending of the chef, and I saw the ending of marriage with the coachman’s son.”

I scrolled down looking at the various endings written in English on overseas wikis. Did you do it too much? Most of them were endings I had already seen.

As I scrolled down with such a sad expression, I found an ending that I hadn’t seen since I had spent over a thousand hours on this game.

“Witch ending… Is that a witch ending?”

Involuntarily, I tilted my head.

A witch ending? Is there an ending where the princess can become a witch? I’ve never been involved with a witch, so I never thought that there would be an ending like this.

What kind of ending is this? Curiosity did not stop. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t even predict what kind of story this ending would be.

The moment I was about to click on the article out of curiosity,

For some reason, I felt a little hurt in my pride.

I was the one who saw the true ending of this trash game, but I couldn’t see the other ending, so is it correct to rely on foreign wikis like this?

No, no. Absolutely not.

Written on the wiki meant that someone else wrote it here after seeing the witch ending. Then there was no reason why I couldn’t see that ending.

The useless fighting spirit flared up.

Since I saw the true ending, there was nothing to be afraid of. Now that this has happened, I even thought that I should get all the achievements.

‘…Let’s go to sleep and think. It’s already 3:00 in the morning, isn’t it?’

I thought I was going to stay up all night, so I quickly turned off my computer and lay down on the bed. No matter how enjoyable the game was, it wasn’t to the point of giving up going to work.

‘…If it’s a witch ending, you have to actively approach the witch..? No, by the way, how am I supposed to approach a witch who is trying to kill me like that…?’

I closed my eyes while thinking about how to watch the ending of the witch. If I go to work only tomorrow, it’s the weekend, so I’ll have to burn the weekend with a game… Thinking.

…….Without even dreaming that it would be my last male life.
