• Get drunk and achieve the maximum popularity! 
• Search for coins on the streets, wash cars, get into street fights, rob strangers and banks!
• Open your office or found your own startup!
• Make the most money in the shortest time! Compete with your friends! 

Almost every event in this game happens randomly.
Every move equals one day. Every day your health, happiness and satiety decrease.
If your health, happiness or satiety will drop to zero, you have 7 days to improve the situation, otherwise you will die.
Every year you will celebrate your birthday and get presents. 
Every day you have a chance to find empty bottles and then sell them.

Sooner or later you will die from old age. To avoid that, you can buy an immortality pill. Note that it DOES NOT protect you from dying from hunger, sickness, unhappiness or poverty.

Сложно но очень интересно ещё рекомендую тому кому понравилось поиграть в симулятор пенсионера игра очень похожа

### 5/5 — Идеальная игра

Никакой рекламы, никакого визуального шума, долгий гейм плейн

### 5/5 — Супер игра

### 5/5 — Из бомжа в президенты

*2026-08-10*

Игра «Симулятор бомжа» неожиданно затягивает своей жесткой, но при этом интересной концепцией выживания. Начинаешь буквально с нуля — всего 200 рублей и половина здоровья. С первых минут понимаешь, что здесь не будет лёгкого пути: собираешь бутылки, роешься в мусорках, там же ешь и даже лечишься.

Игровой процесс построен максимально просто, но в этом и есть его фишка. Сдаёшь бутылки — получаешь копейки, на которые покупаешь еду или алкоголь, чтобы хоть как-то поднять настроение персонажа. Постепенно начинаешь понимать систему: даже с такого дна можно выкарабкаться, если грамотно распоряжаться ресурсами.

Интересно реализована прокачка — за деньги, заработанные на бутылках, можно получать образование. Это добавляет игре глубины и мотивации двигаться дальше. Но самый неожиданный поворот — это возможность вообще уйти от «работы» и начать зарабатывать на перепродаже валюты. В этот момент игра превращается из симулятора выживания в своего рода экономическую стратегию.

Финал вообще выглядит как ироничная сказка: от человека, который ел на помойке, до уровня миллионера и даже президента. Это, конечно, гиперболизировано, но именно такие контрасты и делают игру запоминающейся.

В целом, «Симулятор бомжа» — это не просто игра, а своеобразная история о том, как можно подняться с самого низа, пусть и в немного утрированном формате. Простая графика, понятный геймплей и необычный сюжет делают её по-настоящему затягивающей.

### 5/5 — Excellent
