KDream's Raising Sim Xianxiang Shows A Daughter's Slow Growth At TGS2026
A raising sim where training costs the child's mood and idle conversations carry equal weight is betting on the small, cumulative interactions of parenting rather than stat curves, and KDream is using a playable TGS2026 build to put that quiet loop in front of players ahead of a 2026 Steam launch.

Xianxiang: How to Raise Your Beloved Daughter is a multi-ending raising simulation from developer KDream, shown in playable form at Tokyo Game Show 2026. The player names an adopted daughter in a paradise shared by humans, yokai, and immortals, then chooses her monthly training schedule and how to answer her day to day questions. Friends, a martial arts teacher, and the Huazhao Festival fill the intervening days. The story breaks from the peaceful village and jumps five years forward. Steam release is set for 2026.
The loop KDream has built does not reward packing the calendar. Training raises a daughter's abilities but spends money and her mood, so outings and time with friends matter as much as drills. The village around her keeps producing those moments: Liu Yuyue next door, the divine beast Mengji the two of them dote on, a martial arts master named Xie Zhaoying who becomes the daughter's teacher after the child calls her a cool big sister. At the Huazhao Festival there are stalls, target shooting, and musicians, and on the way home Mengji explains lingering regret when the daughter cannot name the sadness of it ending. Then the way home turns dangerous and the story jumps five years.
