Amazing Text Game

I love this game the best life simulator since bitlife.

Good game! But,

I love this game, but it does have its drawbacks. ex: it doesn’t save a persons life at all, if you close the tab, you have to start a new life. This is minor, but when it says “this person is famous/super famous” it would be cool to know what they are famous for. Everything else is good for me though.

Thanks for loving Play This Life, Idkbro3652! ☺️ You can save your life by going to Life Log > ☰ > Save game. It will Load the life you saved when you reopen the app if you do. We've also noted your suggestion and will keep it in mind for future updates!

Best life sim KNOWN TO MAN

It’s so good, but I also have some ideas for some updates:
- adoption
- the opportunity to choose your main characters sexuality (not really realistic but is chosen by options in early life?)
- moving countries being in the base game!

Thanks!!!

Iraqi player

Hello, the game is very nice, but I hope that Arabic will be added to it because I got very tired of translating. I also hope that it will be added that you can start your own project.

Response from developer

Thank you for playing Play This Life, Iraqi player! We will keep your feedback in mind for future updates!

Really enjoy this game.

I came across this game while looking for a life simulator and got hooked pretty quickly. It’s exactly the kind of game I was hoping to find. The detail is 10/10.

It’d be nice to have the option to age up manually instead of waiting on a timer and if the character avatars were a bit more realistic— although I do love the unique Art look at the same time.

Overall, those are small and tweak-able things, so my honest rating would be 4 stars.

Definitely worth the money for me and a solid pick if you’re into life sims.
