Daughter-raising simulator Machine Child is now available for PC via Steam
JAST has released Machine Child for PC via Steam. This release has a 10% introductory discount price of $17.99 until April 21. A DRM-free version of the game with a lower base price of $8.79 (and a further 10% discounted price to $7.91) is also available via JAST's own website (although the latter appears to be only available in English and Simplified Chinese).
This game is a daughter-raising simulation game in a similar vein to the Princess Maker series, made by the illustrator Ooyari Ashito and his doujin circle Syojo Kishidan. The circle had earlier published the game in Japanese on DLsite last September.
