User reviews

It's a good game... but...

It's a very enjoyable game; at first, challenging to get into because there's so much involved and you get overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

After a while navigating through the menus, you start to enjoy it. I love that there is a lot you can do in this game and the simulation is next level when it comes to stories/rpg.

But, QOL is a big factor affecting my game and enjoying it right now. Here's a stand out example: You're running for office in politics; but when in the debating menu, only one of the choices appears, and the other choices are cut off because that dialogue is too long. You try to scroll down and it does nothing. You win the debate and are trying to press to confirm, but it's stuck at the bottom of the dialogue when trying to scroll down. You tap the X then you need to do the debate again.

I love that there is so much flexibility in this game, and it's seemingly uncapped life investing sandboxing potential. But it's a harder sell, and poses a challenge to enjoy when the content you pay for is limited because the UI is too clunky when navigating it and you can't access some content because it doesn't let you scroll down; where the rest of the content is cut off.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback! this is exactly the kind of report that helps us improve the game. You’re right about the debate screen: long dialogue was pushing response options and the confirm button off-screen, and scrolling wasn’t working. That wasn’t intentional — it was a layout bug. We’ve fixed it so the debate modal scrolls properly: you can read the full exchange, reach all four response choices, and tap Continue after winning without having to close out and redo the debate. We hear you on the broader QOL point too. There’s a lot in the game, and when UI gets in the way of content you’ve paid for, that’s on us not you. We’re actively tightening navigation and scroll behavior on screens like this. If you hit anything else that feels cut off or stuck, please send the screen name (or a screenshot). That helps us track these down fast. Thanks again for sticking with it and for the kind words about the depth of the simulation.

the best life sim?

listen ive played damn near every single mobile life sim there is but this one? woah. insane details. i rarely ever spend money on apps but this was probably the best couple of dollars i’ve ever spent. if i had to nitpick or give suggestions id say i want the ability to go to the club, do drugs, have different heights and weights, have a renewable passport to travel, get called up to the world cup (idek if thats an option because theres so many career choices!!), etc etc. again thats just me nitpicking and laying suggestions on the table. crazy good game. cant wait to see what else you got for us. keep up the good work

Decent game

I wish ai chat bot was less limited with topics or if there was a setting for said thing

Gambling

Gambled multiple millions on blackjack and won. Solid game

Really Good

It’s an amazing game. So well detailed and there’s genuinely so much to do. However, I don’t love the like AI people. I feel like I can’t say anything without it being weird. And it’s very cringey. I just want it to reply like the people actually know me and it’s not some new random encounter.
