$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
Response from developer
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.
Great but still has bugs
Good Potential
Response from developer
Hey Murakami, thanks for the review, and for seeing the potential! You’re right on both: the Dark Web menu is fixed, and we’ve rebalanced the health system so you get sick far less often, serious illnesses are rarer when you’re young, and treatment is more affordable. It’s all live in the new 1.3.1 update give it a try and let us know what you think. Thanks for playing!
