Niche Games Spotlight – Volcano Princess

Volcano Princess

Volcano Princess is a new raising simulator where players become the single parent to your only daughter after the death of your wife.

Players will spend time with their daughter and help her to grow up into a capable young lady.

Raising Simulators are a genre of game popularized by the classic Princess Maker franchise and follow a similar formula where you raise a daughter and watch her grow up.

Endings are usually locked behind story events and stat thresholds which can be increased through daily activities. Technically that means Monster Rancher is a Raising Simulator too.

You can check out the release trailer for Volcano Princess below:
