The designer behind Harvest Moon returns with a game that frustrates as much as it fascinates.
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.
Birthdays the Beginning is about as exciting as watching paint dry – even if you get to pick the colors
Birthdays the Beginning is cute and nostalgic but there's not much depth
