The designer behind Harvest Moon returns with a game that frustrates as much as it fascinates.
Metro GameCentral
Despite the many obvious flaws there's a mesmerising quality to the game's artificial worlds, as the gameplay itself creates a surprisingly palatable form of edutainment.
Game Informer
Birthdays the Beginning is about as exciting as watching paint dry – even if you get to pick the colors
GameSpot
The ambitious-but-flawed Birthdays the Beginning is packed with charm, but suffers from a clunky interface and confusing systems.
