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]
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.

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]
