My Child Lebensborn Reviews

by GalaxyPasta

I had no idea this game existed until recently this month. However, I am more than happy I chose to buy it and give it a try. I played it within 24 hours—I was absolutely hooked to the story just five minutes in. Quickly, the only thing I wanted to do was keep the child safe and shower him with endless love. Countless times, I teared up over the mistreatment he faced. It felt authentic and real. It ripped my heart up. Even the ending left me feeling helpless, yet oddly fulfilled. There is a lot of realism in this game. It hurts, but it is realistic. The only thing we can do is hope with all our hearts for the well-beings of the children in this game. To anyone looking to spend a little bit of money on MyChildLebensborn Store, I highly recommend buying this wonderful game. It isn’t difficult to learn how to play. However, the story is rather powerful and touches on some sensitive topics, so I’d advise players to tread lightly. It had me crying on multiple occasions. Trust me—you will be unable to finish this game without loving these kids. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite mobile games ever made. It’s simply astonishing.

This game is fantastic. It’s beautifully written, and shows all of us events that happened and how the lives of not only those who were occupied in WW2 were affected, but the German children who were born/had lived though that period as well. It hurt me to see Karin (my kid of choice) to go through such traumatic events, and pains me more to know that someone went through that (as this game is based of a true story). I’m glad they list more info about people who went through something similar for being Lebensborn children. This is a story game, so if you are impatient it will take a while, and I wish it would save if you accidentally deleted (but I understand why you may not), but even still, what a game. I’m glad they made this game to raise awareness for the Children Born of War Project. Please play this game!

This game is simultaneously the most heart-warming and the most gut-wrenching experience I have ever played, and it puts all other mobile games to shame. This is just true art. It outdoes so many games with millions of dollars behind it made by hundreds of people with such a simple yet incredibly effective premise. This is something every person should have, not only because it is a great experience, but also because it only adds to your knowledge of the human condition and expands your ability to empathize with people. It brought a concept often overshadowed by the rest of the war right to you, and assured you that you will never forget it. An absolutely fantastic work worthy of being kept in a museum for future generations to look back on.

I usually never write reviews but I had to write one for the stupendous work and job the creators have put in this game if you can spare the couple bucks I HIGHLY suggest you to do so my real only “complaint” is that it is a little short maybe updates with like side missions/stories would be super cute because I honestly just could not put my phone down after I started playing I love how your choices within the game are compared with the statistics of others at the end of each chapter it really keeps me involved in it! Also the amazing story behind it to the ones who left a one star review I cannot pity you at all this was such an amazing game I just HAD to leave a review to help increase the love of this game even more! Great Job

I really really love this game, I don’t usually pay for games but I loved this one. At times I’ve wanted to cry on how much I felt bad that I couldn’t do more! It’s very realistic as your choices and actions is how Klaus develops in the world, i wish that we could have more interaction with the people bullying Klaus because it’s so heartbreaking that you can see how much it effects him. I played this game in one day and I plan to play again because this is such a good game. (You have the option to choose a girl as well but I choose the boy so I said ‘Klaus’) I had an awesome time taking care of Klaus and I honestly wish there was a pt2 to this game. (I love the detail they added at the end where they tell about the other people’s stories during this time period)

God this game is heart wrenching. You take care of this seven year old kid, and you have to watch as everyone in their life outside of the home so cruelly acts towards him/her. You see firsthand the effects that children born of war that their trauma does to them, and it’s just. it’s awful. You should definitely play this if you like interactive stories, strategy planning, and of course, gut wrenching stories. I really appreciate how much time and effort the developers put into not only making it such an emotional game, but a historically accurate and therefor educating game as well. Definitely check out their page if you want to know more about how to help the kiddos like the one you care for in this game- I know I do. Play it.

What an amazing game and experience. The story and role you play is emotionally gripping, and I found myself truly caring for little Klaus. As a parent, I connected with the tough dialog choices, as oftentimes in real life it is difficult to decide how honest to be with a child without giving them more information than they can handle. The game designers did a fantastic job providing a realistic and meaningful yet streamlined interaction with Klaus that captures the essence of raising a child, and forces you to make tough choices, like balancing work and providing care with spending quality time. I was captivated by this story, and with taking care of Kraus, and it was fascinating (and saddening) to learn about this slice of post-war history. Thank you to the development team for this powerful, educational, and unique experience. I won’t soon forget it.

A excellent game, but I warn caution to those that have trauma to be mindful if they decide to play this game. I formed a connection and bond with Karin, and was heartbroken at the horrendous things that happened to her. I felt defenseless throughout the play-through that I was unable to do anything significant or to punish those that hurt her so much. The story itself made my heart heavy like someone punched a hole right through it. I would like to add…despite this being a one of the best games I’ve played I can’t play it again, I’m glad I bought this game, but I could never get myself to ever play again, it’s just too sad. I’m happy that the game goes to children who are in similar situations and need our help. This game is definitely here to educate us and to open up our hearts.

I’m gonna have to go out on a limb and say this is the best mobile game I’ve ever played. I installed it on a whim after hearing about it on social media, and I was instantly sucked into the story it told. I spent hours playing through the entire storyline, and by the end, I was quite literally in tears. Working in childcare, I knew this would get me emotional but I had no idea just how attached and protective I’d feel over the child I chose to take care of. There were times I wanted to reach through the screen to hug her and never, ever let go. The storytelling was realistic and immersive to the point where I got incredibly frustrated with some of the decisions I had to make. The storytelling rivals that of games like Detroit Become Human or The Wolf Among Us. To anybody considering spending the $3, DO IT!!

❗️Slight spoiler alert❗️I love the graphics and the way MyChildLebensborn is presented. The story is heartbreaking. I think it is wonderful that we get to see Karen/Klaus in their best and worst times. The game felt so real and I feel so bad for the way they were treated. Realizing that this was not only happening in my phone screen, but in real life is a realization that can lead to people doing some good in the world. To anyone who has ever been bullied, stay strong. If you’re being bullied in school, you’ll probably never have to see them after Highschool anyways. This game is a wonderful piece of art. And I would really like to see more apps like this. To not only tell the story of so many that can’t speak for themselves, but to share what was going on at these times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars. Definitely worth the $2.99

The way this game was made is a true masterpiece. I played klaus, and the way I wanted to hug him every time someone was mean to him, bullied and assaulted him, the emotions you get while playing this game are like no other. Ww2 was one of the worst genocides in history. This game took my breath away and has brought me to tears. I could not put this game down. If you’re a history buff like I am and fixated on ww2 history, or any history pertaining to war, this game will send shivers down your spine. I would definitely say this is a 15+ game and not for younger viewers due to implications during the last chapter and multiple chapters within the game. I applaud the developers and everyone who worked on this game. You all have created something that deserves more recognition. I’m absolutely speechless on this game, how well it was made, and more.

Wow. What a phenomenal game but what a tragic one as well. I had no idea the stigma around German children in Norway. We always hear about one side of the Holocaust but we don’t hear about the Lebensborn children. How unfair. This game is not for children though.

SPOILERS AHEAD: The things that happen to your child in the game are horrid, and although it doesn’t always outright say what happened, it’s very clear what has happened to your poor child. My child’s teacher Mr. Berg had me deeply concerned because I was afraid he had romantic/sexual interest in my child. Well it turns out yes, the poor child was abused but by the teacher that followed. This tore me up and had me furious. The game as I said earlier, never said this, but the child didn’t want to eat, bathe or be touched afterwards so it was fairly clear the teacher had sexually assaulted her during “detention.” There was also a time when the child comes home and they’re covered in urine. I don’t know who urinated on her but that truly tore me up as well. I can’t believe this happened to these children just because of their German heritage. A profound, somber game that will stick with me forever.

If i could give this more than five stars i would honestly. I’ve literally never experienced something that made me feel such strong emotions. the child felt like my own in every situation. i felt like a parent working and raising my kid trying to protect them no matter what. i cried for this kid, i got angry at those who hurt then, i was completely invested to the last second. i was absolutely addicted to the game and tried to savor every moment and make them as happy as possible. playing the game made a sudden motherly instinct kick in and i truly believe i would have killed for that child. if your on the fence AT ALL like i was about buying this game, hop the fence and buy it. it’s worth every single penny and you will not regret it at all and will wish you bought it sooner. i don’t think anything could ever compare to how i felt playing this game.

by Genericzombie

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel the need to sing my praises for this game. It was really incredible and I couldn’t hardly put it down on my first play through. The game is very educational and contains a lot of real-life statistics and information, but I feel as though all of this info was delivered in a very organic way. It still feels like a game, not a history lesson. I grew very attached to the child I adopted, Karin, and although I know she’s a fictional character my heart still aches when I think of what she went through. The artwork is simple and charming but at the same time I was impressed that so much emotion is conveyed through the facial expressions and animations of your child. You’re forced to make some very difficult decisions as their parent and I wasn’t prepared for how serious things became in the story. I look forward to playing again and can’t wait to see if the developers make anything else as well.

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing this game is. It was truly a beautiful experience. I only wish it didn’t end so soon. I don’t know if it ended that quick for other people but as soon as I got through the first day of raising Klaus, I fell in love. I was literally addicted to this game and it went by so fast. It was such a heartwarming experience and so much fun. really hope that the creators of My Child Lebensborn make games like this a series. I think many other players including myself would enjoy a series of games where you raise an adopted child like Klaus or Karin throughout history in different points in time. I think My Child Lebensborn was a great game showing what it was like living in the 1930’s-1940’s and the beauty of raising a child at the same time. I love how interactive and heartfelt My Child Lebensborn was and could only wish that there would be more games like it in the future.

by Leeza Fedosova

I can’t believe this game hasn’t gained the attention it so rightfully deserves. What an incredibly deep story and strong message. I cared for a little girl names Karin, and from the start of the game I felt that I had to protect her. The last chapter was rough…I was crying on the inside, fuming on the outside. At times, the game makes you lose faith in humanity. But there are also times when good people stand up for what’s right and you regain that trust. I loved learning about life after the war, and the life stories at the end of the game paid homage to the real victims of abuse and injustice. There are a few games that we play in our lifetime and we remember so vividly how it made us feel, how it effected us…this is one of those games for me. I had no idea it would touch me so deeply. I would love to see more from this developer in the future! I can tell this game was created from a true passion, you did a great job.

I started seeing this game on tiktok. A lot of people were recommending it so I went to MyChildLebensborn Store and saw it costed money. So I was thinking not to get it however it says part of the proceeds go to charity and seeing it was only three dollars I decided to but it. I would like to say that this is a very long story game that can not be completed in a day. Witch I strongly like. Also this game has many choices making you in control of mostly what happens so you can play multiple times getting different answers and things can go differently each time.

Another thing I like is that you can choose different children to take care of! One is a girl and the other is a boy. Like I said there is many options leaving you in control however the baseline of the story continues on. I had many feeling throughout this game with the things that happened to the child. I 100% recommend this game to everyone!!! I enjoy it greatly!

by Noooooooooooneeee

This game was so amazing! I’d recommend to anyone who likes history, and wants to learn about what happened in the past. There are people who have wrote reviews on this and say “This game has so many bugs and it doesn’t teach anything.” They are the ones who haven’t played or are just very rude. This game shows if you want to raise a Girl or a Boy, It’s where you get to raise one of them through the time over a year and a half in the game. I don’t wanna spoil much but I really do think this game should be 5-10 dollars cause it’s just unbelievably incredible. You grow attached to the child and want the best for them. I really do recommend this amazing game.

The things that I really do wish that where there is where if the game was longer at the ending, cause I really loved having someone to take care of and cheer up when there sad. I started playing this game in the morning and it ended later in the afternoon. I’d recommend to play this fully when you are free for a while. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Thank you! <3

I don’t usually pay for games but this one peaked my interests. As you play the game you really feel like you are the parent speaking to Klaus or Karin. Every thing you say can effect how the child feels and you begin to want to do best for them. At times I wanted to cry because of how real the storyline is and how if it were real life you would have to make these decisions. It has dialogues that you would have with a child and thoughts that you would think if experiencing that in real life. Throughout the game I kept thinking how horrible it would be if it’s real until the end. *SPOILER*…….. It threw me off at the end to find out that this is inspired by the real life experiences of actual children and families. This game taught me about what these parents felt and their choices, the impact of the children, and an untaught event in history. In the end I want to research more because I never considered the child born of war existing and what happens after the war. This game is unique and worth playing. It’s one i would only play once because the emotions while playing it were intense.

by Lazy Peach

This has got to be the most emotional game I have ever played. It only took me two days to get through it, but oh my god, it was worth it. I honestly feel like I learned so much more about the aftermath of ww2 because of this game. I was completely unaware of lebensborn children before those game, which is insane on a whole other level. Schools always teach us about ww2 and all that stuff, but you really never hear much about the aftermath.

Most importantly, this game just… really hit hard. I cannot say I relate to how the real children and mothers of these children felt, but I feel like I got a taste of it when playing this. There were times I really felt like Karin’s mother, so much I even forgot I was just playing a game. There were times I cried and got seriously… peeved off… because of the events that happened in this game. It completely breaks my heart that real lebensborn children had to go through this.

But there is one think I can relate to. If I was alive during the aftermath of ww2, I would adopt this child, maybe more, in an instant, and give them the best life possible.

This story brought tears to my eyes...it was beautiful...I wanted to cry everyday when Little Klaus got home from school all dirty with bruises on him...Towards the bed of the story it made me really sad when he didn’t want to eat bathe or for me to even touch him! The story was beautiful the animation graphics were lovely and I was so sad when the story ended because I wanted me to be there when we moved so I could watch klaus hopefully get a better life....5/5 stars and if you are reading the reviews wondering if you should buy MyChildLebensborn, you should...At first I didn’t want to waste my money on it but I’m so glad I did...it was one of the best apps I’ve ever played...so if you are still wondering whether to buy it or not I’m just going to tell you you will regret it if you don’t buy it!

I have played many mobile games but have truly never cared about one enough to write a review, this game is different. When downloading this game I knew nothing about it, I saw it was rated highly and adored the art style of the boy looking at me, so I downloaded it. Instantly I loved it. The story had be bursting into tears at times while feeling so happy at seeing this little guy smile even though I knew in the back of my head he wasn’t real. The art style is fantastic and truly some of the best I’ve seen for a mobile game as well as the graphics. I’m happy to say I’ve encountered zero glitched playing the whole thing which I was surprised by. Either way, if you are looking for an interesting, and heartfelt story full of heartbreak and triumph, download this game. If you want to find a game that has beautiful and cute graphics and art style, play this game. If you want further knowledge about the topic the game presents, download this game. And that’s all I have to say. Thank you developers and everyone else who worked on this game, you all truly did an amazing job and have my best wishes for future projects.

It’s not often - or ever - that I write a review for an app, but this time felt different. This game was absolutely touching, and brought me to tears many times. Playing the game, it was incredibly heartbreaking to see what these children experienced, and the burdens they unfairly bore. The story of the lebensborn children was beautifully and ardently told through the narrative of this game. I was left in tears (bitter, sad, and happy) by the end. I would fully recommend purchasing this game - the story telling is amazing and the money goes to a very good cause!! (I believe to children born into war torn countries!) <3 :) Much love to anyone who has, or knows someone who has, experienced anything similar to or related to the content of this game. <3

You will likely never find another game that touches upon the sensitive topic that this game discusses: the fate of German-fathered children in Norway after WWII. You take on the role of the parent of such a child, raising your son or daughter in a world still dealing with the traumas of occupation. As you work to feed your new child, the complex storyline of his or her bullying calls you to care for them a best you can, using reading their body language and words, both of which are expertly written and drawn. I will not reveal how the story goes, but suffice it to say, the game is an excellent one. It’s definitely worth downloading if you want to have some real feelings and learn about about a piece of history you never knew existed.
