Bugs

Thanks for playing, and for being straight with us - the pacing complaint is fair. Right now one tap is one week, and if you're chasing a milestone that's a lot of tapping for not much happening. There's no fast-forward in the game today, and after reading this we've put one on the list: a way to hold or skip ahead several weeks at once, stopping automatically when something actually needs you. On the bugs - v1.5.0 is close, with 75+ fixes in it, including several things that were working but never showed you anything (your business income from brand and key hires, your wanted level, vaccinations you'd paid for). If a bug you hit isn't in that list, tell us which one on Discord and we'll go after it: https://discord.com/invite/rzktazdX8v -the DeepLife team
$80 for “premium”?!?
What is it with mobile devs not understanding the difference between the value of their product and then thinking they can charge anywhere from $100-$1000 for 1 feature-set. The pricing model of this app matches someone going through a manic phase of mental instability, because literally no one sane or even half-intelligent would ever even consider that as a real option for a mobile game. So honestly ditching this app is a minimal loss, if any at all. So it must be evidence that this developer thinks that its users are a bunch of morons. I’m not going to fund the API cost of a dev using Claude code when it is so obvious that everything put into this game is just AI slop.
So if you like being scammed or ripped off… Definitely go for this game, if you’re even half-sane? Don’t even bother, what this developer delivers is absolute trash for the price they’re asking.

Hi Michael, thanks for taking the time to write. I want to clear up the main point, because it’s important: Deep Life Simulator is completely free, and the entire game can be played and finished start to finish without spending a cent. There is no paywall and no feature gate. The optional bundles are exactly that, optional, and nothing in them is required to play, progress, or enjoy the game. Nobody has to pay $80 for anything. That said, your feedback on the higher price tier is fair, and I’m reviewing the IAP pricing to make sure it feels reasonable rather than off-putting. I build this as a solo developer, I read every review, and the recent 1.3.1 update was entirely bug fixes that players asked for. If you ever give it another look, the core experience costs nothing. Either way, I appreciate the honesty.
Unfortunately awful
Unfortunate L for the life sim community

Hey, this should be fixed now in the latest big updates. We have focused on our other projects unfortunately. Sorry for the inconvenience, but everything should work fine now
Great concept far too many bugs

Hey thanks for the feedback, we have done 2 huge updates since version 1.2.8. We would be pleased to hear what you think about the new version of the game! New 1.3.1 version.
