## What is Lowlife?

All you gotta do is heal.

Take control of Lowlife and heal your downloaded Scripts as you scour a corrupt, dystopian future. Your goal is not to hurt the countless Villains you will face spanning across several Simulations and Raids, it is to keep your party alive so they can do the hurting - by any means necessary.

Throughout the Healing Simulations, you will incept Memories which can be used to trade for new Scripts - or if you have downloaded Scripts with their own god-rolled skills, level them up with Memories or by taking them with you!  Sell your extra Scripts in the Auction House for extra Memories to spend. Also shop for other worldwide players' listed Scripts to use for your own.

There are 35 uniquely skilled subclasses of Scripts to be found, including Tanks and Melee DPS to place on your front line, Mages and Ranged DPS for your back line, and Shamans - a wildcard class that can be placed anywhere in your party setup.

Lowlife places you in battle with a variety of weak and powerful Villains, equipped with only a variety of healing spells to keep everyone (and yourself!) alive.  Spend your gained Parameter Points to build the perfect healer and fit your play style. Sprinkle a little of your personal playstyle on top by spending Node Points in one of three skill trees to build your perfect healer specialization. You'll need it to get the highest scores on the Global Leaderboards.

Complete Quests and level up to gain access to a variety of Simulations with Bosses and challenges that await you. When you feel confident enough, team up online to take down a Raid Boss or two.

Lowlife is free to play, unlimited, with no commercial breaks. Also works with no WiFi or internet connection (Auction House, Leaderboards, and Raids not available with no internet).

### 5/5 — Love This Game!

*2026-04-05, version 1.51*

Keep it up team, this game is great! I love the new look and affects. Keep adding more and this game will pick up a lot more traction I know it. Not many games are able to capture this type of play style as well as you have. It’s missing a few things that’s keeping it from being as good as it can be. I’m sure you will find a way to fill in those gaps. Keep it up!

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2026-02-12, version 1.51*

Definitely an all time favorite got me through 20 hours of bus rides. I humbly request a pvp mode even against bots like super auto pets or the bazaar.

### 5/5 — Is there a way to reset your account?

*2025-06-30, version 1.50*

Could you add a reset button please, I’m running out of progression space.

### 5/5 — Fun but needs more abilities

*2025-03-27, version 1.41*

The synergies with the spells are cool but if there were more spells with different abilities such as or specific buffs or even offensive healing spells that would be really interesting

### 5/5 — Great free game

*2025-03-17, version 1.41*

Only thing is that we need more people

### 3/5 — Pain in the booty

*2025-03-11, version 1.41*

There is no where in game to read Lowlife’s abilities (executables) unless you’re actively in combat. You can’t pause to read them. You have to press and hold the icon to read the description. And if you’re killing villains too quick it will clear the description before you can read it. And if the villain is lasting longer, you don’t really have time there to read the abilities without getting slapped around. 

It’s making this game hard to break into. A screen to read the abilities outside of combat would make this more friendly.

### 4/5 — Fun game, would love to see some more dev

*2025-02-16, version 1.41*

Love the remix, would really like to see remix added to labs, grinders, and raids. 

Would love to see the level limits eased a bit like within 10% of your level. 

Would love to be able to disable a skill from your script’s list. So many times a purple or red are better than the cosmic scripts because the cosmic is bloated with useless skills.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2024-10-14, version 1.41*

No ads, takes a bit to figure out but doesn’t take too long to click, and feels like there’s a lot in the free version.

### 5/5 — SACRAFICE!

*2024-08-14, version 1.41*

Can sacrifices be added to the game, I know it would be a bit odd sacrificing other party members to each other but pls

### 2/5 — Is there any way to reset the game data?

*2024-07-15, version 1.41*

Played once before and loved it - just redownloaded and cannot for the life of me figure out how to start from the beginning.

## Frequently asked questions about Lowlife

### What is Lowlife about?

Lowlife is a role-playing game set in a corrupt, dystopian future where players take on the role of a healer. The primary objective is to keep your party alive by using healing spells and abilities, rather than engaging in direct combat with enemies. You'll manage your party's survival through various simulations and raids.

### How do I get new scripts and upgrade them?

You can acquire new healing scripts by incepting Memories during Healing Simulations, which can then be traded for new scripts. Scripts with desirable skills can be leveled up using Memories. You can also sell extra scripts in the Auction House to earn more Memories for upgrades or purchases.

### Is Lowlife free to play?

Yes, Lowlife is free to play with unlimited access and no commercial breaks. However, it does offer in-app purchases, which allow for optional enhancements or items. Certain features like the Auction House, Leaderboards, and Raids require an internet connection.

### What kind of character customization is available?

You can customize your healer by spending gained Parameter Points to build your character according to your play style. Additionally, you can spend Node Points in one of three distinct skill trees to specialize your healer, allowing for a personalized gameplay experience.

### Can I play Lowlife offline?

The core gameplay of Lowlife, including healing simulations and battling villains, can be played without an internet connection. However, features that involve online interaction, such as the Auction House, Global Leaderboards, and Raids, are not available when offline.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.51 — 2026-01-29

FEATURES
-Redesigned effects overlay to show attacks and healing
 
FIXES
-Fixed issue where health regeneration was doubled in Raids
-Fixed memory leaks
-Optimized all per-frame activities to whittle down thermal performance further
-The Combat Log now has a maximum of 500 entries. This seriously added up in long sessions.
-Fixed issue where a stunned Villain which died, but another Vision was focused, did not properly award HP from the “Stunning!” Node
-Fixed issue where “I’ll Keep Coming” Node’s health regeneration bonus was tied to frame rate

### 1.50 — 2025-06-12

-Migrated game logic to iOS 18 frameworks. My initial testing didn’t reveal anything too dramatic as far as battery efficiency, but there is a lot of headroom now for more tweaks and adjustments.

CHANGES
-Updated most screens with new UI and navigation
-Added transitions to some in-game screens that would just pop up jarringly
-Tweaked in-game UI to move around less during different phases

FIXES
-Fixed issue where battling would happen in between Villains fully spawning in
-Fixed issue that could cause crashes when Rebooting a Simulation

Note: Conserve Battery will have no effect as of Lowlife 1.50. The frame rate and animation adjustments that this setting controlled are producing abhorrent results with the updated internal framework. This feature will be revisited.

### 1.41 — 2023-10-07

No Tricks, All Treats…. tap the Lowlife logo on the Main Menu 5 times and enter code GHOSTLIKECHARMS for a limited edition Curated Necromancer.

FEATURES
-Vendor refresh now has an increased chance to have higher rarity Scripts (40-50%)
-The Quests screen will now update with more available Quests every 4 hours (was 24 hours) and will also be higher quality
-Quests can now be progressed in Remixed Simulations
-Added in-game option to Auto-sell Script Loot below a selected Rarity (accessible from Pause Screen -> Options)
-A mechanism has been put in place to help identify and inform new players that their progress is not being saved. This has been a bug that happens rarely after Lowlife installation and resolved permanently by a restart of the device

BALANCE
-Reduced effectiveness of Thick Bubble node from 5% to 2% per point

FIXES
-Fixed issue where Overshield would not reset when it should
-More performance optimizations
-Replaced API for Live Raid Counts
-Fixed Main Menu bug that would result in wrong sheet being presented when quickly tapping between different screens
-Fixed issue that could cause negative XP to be rewarded
-Fixed animation issue that could cause list to move up and down on Scripts screen
-Fixed issue where animated Mecha icon had an unaligned frame, causing a jitter

### 1.40 — 2023-03-20

FEATURES
-Added Remixed Simulations (Simulation Versions 10-18) which increase in level and have global daily modifiers on rotation
--Requires VIP Ticket



-Added five new subclasses (one for each main class):
--Melee DPS - Demonoid
--Ranged DPS - Invader
--Tank - Berserker
--Mage - Doctor
--Shaman - Stormcaller



-Added Charisma Parameter with values ranging from 0 to 200. Higher Charisma = Higher Script Damage, and Worse Script Defense
-Added AoE Debuffs for Scripts as a random-rolled Executable
-Added "+" Rarity Scripts to Remixed Simulation Loot Pool. These will display as Cosmic+ for example, and offer slightly higher ATTACK, SPEED, and DEFENSE stats on those Scripts





BALANCE
-All Scripts which are not Dead when a Villain is deleted will be rewarded equal XP instead of being based on Script damage done to Villains
-Free-cast Chances rise with Focus Parameter (Was Luck Parameter)
-Drastically reduced Memory cost of leveling up Scripts. This will have a heavier cost savings at higher levels
-Reduced amount of Quest drops from Loot and filled in with Script and Player XP Loot




UI
-Better aligned stat compares in Scripts screen
-Consolidated Unlock buttons for Raids into one Unlock button to eliminate redundancy
-Added Scripts' Debuff events to the in-game Combat Log



FIXES
-Fixed issue where tapping on a particular place in the Nodes screen would cause Node Points to reset upon next Node Screen entry
-Fixed issue where Double XP Bonus from VIP Ticket could sometimes calculate twice when dispensing Script XP
-Fixed issue where Layer 5 of all Simulations may appear unlocked when they were not
-Fixed bug with Promo Codes
-Fixed issue where lower level Scripts could level many more times than intended when their XP to level was far below the XP rewarded
-Fixed issue where the "I'm in Danger" Node was not awarding proper bonuses to Debuff potency

### 1.39 — 2023-01-11

-Updated backgrounds for Simulations, Labs, and Raids
-Fixed Auction House bug
