It’s finally here. Bundle of Joy is OUT NOW, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
Today marks the end of a near three-year journey. Bundle of Joy began as something deeply personal—an attempt to capture the unvarnished, beautiful, and chaotic nature of early parenthood through the lens of the pandemic. Now, **Bundle of Joy** is birthed into the world, and I can’t wait to properly see how it resonates with you.
At its heart, Bundle of Joy is a game about balance—between joy and exhaustion, between chaos and calm. It’s a mini-game romp wrapped in the reality of new parenthood, where (what you would imagine to be) simple tasks turn into unpredictable challenges. Each of these moments - captured in mini-games you’ll play many times over the course of the game - reflects the push and pull of daily life as a parent.
For me, one of the most exciting things about launching Bundle of Joy is how it might connect with others who have been through these moments - people who understand the unfathomable relief when your kiddo finally succumbs to sleep, or the unreasonable joy at the sight of a clean and tidy play room floor.
Parenthood is often a shared experience, even if it doesn’t always feel that way in the moment. And through this game, I wanted to create a space for recognition, laughter, and hopefully some shared catharsis.
The journey of creating Bundle of Joy has been filled with its own ups and downs - much like parenting itself. Taking something so personal and putting it into the world is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking, but now I need to let my baby stand on its own two feet - it would mean the world to me if you can support it in whatever way you’re able.
So, if you play Bundle of Joy and find a moment that feels eerily familiar, if a particular mini-game makes you laugh because you’ve lived through that exact scenario, or if you just enjoy the controlled chaos of it all, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a review, share your experiences, your favorite moments, and your own parenting (or non-parenting) stories with me.
We hope Bundle of Joy makes you smile, reminds you of the small victories, and, most importantly, helps you feel a little less alone in the highly difficult but equally delightful experience of raising a tiny human.
