### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-01-26*

This is better than bitlife

### 2/5 — Please remove this situation

*2019-08-04, version 1.4*

This is a really cool game, but I was playing the game as a girl and something came up that she ‘suffered a rape attempt’. I understand this game is a life simulator but I don’t think that’s appropriate at all, especially since I am a person who has suffered from the same thing. Please remove that.

### 4/5 — :)

*2019-03-16, version 1.4*

Fun game, but when your partner breaks up with you it still says “In a relationship”

### 2/5 — Mostly pointless

*2019-03-09*

Why even try to attain high levels when there’s no payoff? One character had hugely high athleticism and all that happened was an offer to train at NASA later in life. No real choices that could have come in her teens and college years. 

And there’s not much continuity or logic. I gained a partner somehow without even knowing it. I was out of work for years and years (you’re always the breadwinner even if you’re in a relationship or married) and my savings dwindled; obviously at some point my highly intelligent character would have settled for a job at McDonald’s by then. 

Plus, some of the pluses and minuses are ignorant and/or judgey. Choosing to use a wheelchair reduces happiness, which is an incorrect stereotype about disabled people and mobility devices. Pick a boy two times out of three choices and you’re assigned a binary straight/gay orientation.

It’s fun enough for one, maybe two playthroughs. But life is so much more complicated and interesting than this “Would You Rather” simulator would have it. It seems to want to be a more complex version of Reigns, but in not going far enough, it failed.

### 2/5 — Crash

*2019-03-07, version 1.4*

It crashes when I open the game

### 1/5 — There are no consequences apparently

*2019-02-08*

I didn’t really see any consequences for my actions (I just saw the same actions over and over again). I’ve been in so many plays and danced for so many girls. 

Also, you just gave me the option to have my iteration kill themselves??? Why the heck would you so casually bring that up? How can I die of COPD but not be diagnosed with depression or something? 

Finally, eating chocolate doesn’t make you ugly! Get that body-shaming bs out of here.

### 5/5 — Surpringly fun!

*2018-12-30, version 1.4*

I’m pleasantly surprised at how much fun this simple game is! Thank you for updating this after so much time has passed!

### 4/5 — Still...

*2018-12-30*

Good game, but it still doesn’t support IPhone X screens.

### 4/5 — Great and awesome game

*2018-12-08, version 1.3*

This game is wonderfully executed the only problems is that there should be more updates. It has so much more room to improve and it’s sad its developers haven’t done anything yet. The game is fun and challenging and has a great concept.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-11-17, version 1.3*

I’m sorry but this game, if you can even call it a game. is awful. All you do is tap two buttons. That’s the whole game. Not worth 1 dollar trust me just buy some McDonald’s.
