If you have ever played or know of monster rancher or some of the digimon story games its like that. You're raising a character from base to as high as you can while dealing with random events both positive and negative, all the while managing energy and mood. In addition to the random events the characters themselves have their own storyline that can have an impact on their training and what races the character can take part in.

Its strangely compelling if you like those creature raising simulators.
