Virtual
Families is a casual family sim that runs in true real time. Adopt a little
person from the thousands of choices of little people who live inside your
computer. Encourage them to work in their chosen career to earn money for
necessities and luxuries, help them choose a suitable mate, start and raise a
family, let them kick back with a variety of leisure activities, and take care
of and improve their home.
Along the way, there will be many different random
events to respond to, house malfunctions to repair, and mini-puzzles to solve,
all of them adding an unexpected element to the daily routine.
