Activities
NOTE: Due to these games being lost, very little info is known about the activities from games in the series. As a result, this section only covers the activities from Doki Maternal, as that is the only one to have its activities known.
Sports
The activity consists of helping Doki avoid obstacles with a skateboard.[1]
Eating
The activity consists of helping Doki assemble a nutritious dish or identify the food he wants to eat.[1]
Schedules
The activity is self-explanatory. It allows scheduling, meant for when the child must do something important.[1]
Organization
The activity is about cleaning Doki's room by moving objects to different places in order to make it better organized.[1]
Availability
These games have been lost for a long time, and didn't get much attention until circa late 2021, when a community post was posted by the Chilean YouTube channel LucianoTheWindowsFan helping people to find them.[2]
On November 27, 2022, a Brazilian blog named Games&Cigarettes posted Doki Maternal to the Internet Archive, making said game found.[3] The rest of the games remain lost however.
Interestingly, the games are protected by SecuROM, making them incompatible with Windows 10 and newer.[4] As of June 2023, the games aren't yet cracked.
On April 29th, 2024, LMW Discord user claiulol uploaded the remaining games to Mediafire.
Reception
TecMundo praised the game for its interesting graphics as well as the fact that the repetitive activities and levels make the child fix better, but criticized it for its non-attractive price as well as its repetitive voices and unskippable dialogue.[1]
