This life simulation tasks you with raising a divine daughter, balancing her education, jobs, and adventures over eight formative years.

Princess Maker 2 was originally released in 1993 for the PC-98, and the DOS version was also released in 1993, making it the earliest commercial release on that platform.

About Princess Maker 2

Princess Maker 2 is a simulation where the player acts as a father, guiding an adopted daughter from age ten to adulthood over an eight-year period. The daughter's ultimate fate, including her career, marital status, and social relationships, is shaped by the player's long-term decisions, leading to one of seventy-four possible conclusions.

Primary gameplay involves monthly planning, where three activities are selected to develop her various attributes. These can include schooling, work for income, or combat training. Managing her well-being alongside her development is a challenging core aspect, as her stress and health must be monitored.

The setting originates from a fantasy premise where the child is a divine gift entrusted to a renowned hero. When her capabilities are sufficient, she can undertake adventures in the wilderness, engaging in turn-based battles against monsters with equipped gear. These excursions function as optional sub-quests within the broader narrative framework.
