Chinese Parents and Insects Awaken – Now Available in a Special Bundle!
Hello, dear parents!
We’ve created a bundle with the newly released Republic of China spy-themed visual novel game Insects Awaken. Purchasing Chinese Parents and Insects Awaken together through the bundle now gives you a 10% discount! The bundle also supports the "complete the set" feature.
Please note that Insects Awaken is currently available only in Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Both Chinese Parents and Insects Awaken are games rooted in local culture. Chinese Parents focuses on intergenerational dialogue under one roof, while Insects Awaken centers on the choices between family and nation in perilous times—both use Chinese emotional logic to depict the lives of Chinese people in different eras.
In Insects Awaken, players will witness a dual-city espionage story set during the War.
On one side is the turbulent Shanghai, and on the other is the war-torn Chongqing. Players will navigate between these two isolated cities, using a unique map system to participate in or observe gripping events, advancing the story day by day. You might play as a double agent, skillfully maneuvering between multiple factions, or use your wits to complete seemingly impossible spy missions... Every choice and action you take could become the key to turning the tide of danger and altering history.
If you’re willing to travel back to 1940, to the war-torn cities of Shanghai and Chongqing, and experience the high-stakes life of espionage firsthand—then don’t miss this bundle!
Fixed an issue where save files could become corrupted, preventing players from entering the game.
Fixed an error in achievement condition calculations, where trait collection displayed 100% completion but failed to unlock Steam achievements.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to email us at mychineseparentsgame@gmail.com. Thank you!

2.0.0.1 Update Log
Hello Parents,
We've received plenty of feedback since the new version went live. And we are working around the clock to resolve these issues.
Resolved issues:
Fixed the issue where the game might freeze when choosing a profession at turn 24.
Fixed the issue where your parents' profession info may be displayed incorrectly under Personal Info after converting your savefile.
Fixed a series of interaction and UI issues.
Note: It was only the profession titles that were displayed incorrectly, meaning that you still received the amount of money that you were supposed to. However, if you've played the 2.0.0.0 version and want to re-convert your save anew, follow the steps at the end of this update log.
Known issues we are working on:
Inability to import old saves This issue is because the old save folder was in Chinese, and for users whose computers are unable to show Chinese characters, the folder name is instead a string of random symbols. While this won't affect you loading these saves in the 1.0.9.7 version, later versions than 2.0.0.0 will be unable to find the correct folder, and therefore can't convert the saves. We are currently working on a fix for this.
How to re-convert your saves (this will DELETE your current 2.0.0.0 save files)
First, disable Steam Cloud for now (right-click on Chinese Parents in your Steam Library, then choose 'Properties...'. Then simply untick the 'Keep games saves in Steam Cloud for Chinese Parents'.)
Now, navigate to the C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\moyuwan and delete the chineseparentsgame folder (this is where the new version's saves are kept).
Ensure that you do NOT delete the other folder as that's where your old saves are kept: 中国式家长 (or a string of random symbols if your computer can't display Chinese)
Now, press Win + R, then write 'regedit' and press enter to access your registry.
Here, navigate to the following folder: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\moyuwan\chineseparentsgame
Find and right-click OldRecord_Conversion_Success_h1722812532 and delete it.
Boot up the game again and check whether your saves have been converted.
Now that that's done, make sure to turn on Steam Cloud again.
If you still don't get a prompt about the conversion, try going to C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\moyuwan\中国式家长\Save and delete the steam_autocloud.vdf file and try again.
If that still won't work, please send us all content in your C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\moyuwan folder and we'll have a look.
