Virtual Families is a video game created and developed by independent video game developer and publisher Last Day of Work. Virtual Families was released on April 22, 2009. The game allows the player to adopt an adult friend, meet a mate, work on their careers, start a family, gather collectibles and earn money. Virtual Families allows players to control and manage virtual characters in real-time. Problems have often occurred with the game, such as energy problems. Last Day of Work released a game patch on May 4, 2009.
Each adoptee candidate already has a job, a level of their job, their current salary, their likes, dislikes, and if they want kids.
The game had a notable glitch which occurred when the player reached the 30th generation (Which takes six real months). Last Day of Work has updated this game to a new version to stop this glitch.
The new version of Virtual Families has fixed the 30th generation bug, but after that time, the past will disappear and it will look as if you just started. Also, if you press "R" (shift+r), it takes you right to the location.
Some have compared this as a casual alternative to the hit game series The Sims[1]
