Fun

This is better than bitlife

Please remove this situation

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.

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

Mostly pointless

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.

Crash

It crashes when I open the game

There are no consequences apparently

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.

Surpringly fun!

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

Still...

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

Great and awesome game

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.

Terrible

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.

Ehh

I feel like the game needs to let you control some to your character. Yes you make decisions, but you don’t have control. You don’t get to choose your characters traits, you just hope you roll the trait that you want. I don’t see any appeal in a life sim in which you can only say yes or no and not actually make the choices yourself.

Great game

Really fun!!! Please update!!!! Will pay money!

So Good!

I could never imagine this game to be better, other than one small thing. Maybe I just haven’t seen this event happen in the game yet, but I think when your character is older, they should be able to be crazy cat ladies/men! I don’t know why, but I just think it would be amazing.

Sexist

Ok game but as a man you have lots of normal decisions. However I was appalled that as a woman you have tons of decisions like “take a sexy selfie” “show off your body” “show off your clothes” etc. So not right as the men have no sexual choices like this or objectify their bodies. Horrible!

Liaaaaaam

Good game, needs more choices

Fun game!

Fun game! Dont take it too seriously. I want more decisions to be added, I also want my decisions to allow me to be a professional athlete or musician. Just keep adding more to the game!

Feels less like a choice.

Can’t really call it a life simulator with decision making when your character is losing money, is unemployed, and refuses to get a new job like an idiot.

The idea of the game is nice, but the execution needs more refinement and enhancement. The first issue I have with the game is that I can’t find any way to view my character’s stats unless I’ve made a decision. Players should be able to view their character’s stats whenever they want so our decisions and planning can be more informed.

Second issue is that the choices feel very RNG and chaotic rather than adhering to the logic and rationality of our character based on their stats or situations. For example, if I had lost/quit my job, then the most reasonable decision I should do is find another job. Instead, the game makes you wait for these events to trigger. What often happens is that your character just idles and makes inane decision while their saving slowly bleed out. Or maybe the fact that I’ll have a highly intelligent character, or some other stat that makes them stand out, but nothing about the decision making makes them feel special or that their stats mean anything. I haven’t even seen any of my highly intelligent characters ever go into STEM related work despite having them go through all networking and academic stuff.

The decisions and their consequence feel extremely isolated and meaningless. It’s like they have no repercussions or logic at all, thus making the game feel hollow.

Pretty Entertaining

I feel like the game is very fun, I love seeing the various outcomes. I do think some bugs could be worked out, like when you end a relationship actually becoming single again, and sometimes when you choose a job as a choice rather than a “offer” you stayed unemployed, which affects the game pretty significantly. Overall fun time killer.

Good game but could have more

I haven’t noticed many issues the only one I have noticed is I was in a relationship then she broke up with me and the top bar still said in a relationship

Over all I like the game but I feel like the choices are all so random it should be more sequential and having one choice lead to another

Good game. But..

The game is nice overall but it requires more options, endings, and outcomes. Sometimes it’s annoying to only be able to pick two options at a time, I’ve been trying to go into the military or even becoming a bully but I just don’t seem to get those choices no matter what, maybe there should be a “good or bad” scale built into the game so that the outcomes can differ depending on your level. Sometimes I get fired or I quit but I never get another job, there should be more chances to get better things rather than living in poverty the rest of your life.
