User reviews

amazing concept

this game really has a TONS of potential, especially exploring how each social structure affect life. i will give 5 star to encourage developer. however, i do think it is incomplete at its current stage

Great conceptual app but needs improvements

I rate it 5 stars because I love the concept and it made me question my beliefs. App needs to be debugged and new elements of life need to be added though

good

this is a fun game i have no problems

Unusable

This app crashes every time a character is about to die, and that’s the only way that they save. Don’t base the logistics of your entire game off of something that is 100% faulty. Not to mention the innumerable other bugs. This needs serious work; I can’t believe it was released.

Interesting concept, poor execution

There are a number of things wrong with this app. Firstly, the society selection in the beginning is way too simple, but then again this whole thing is just super simple. Also, the app crashes when you’re supposed to die. You get no feedback on how you did in the life you lived, just income and family. I’d assume there would be a stats screen at the end if the game didn’t crash. Or it would just take me back to the “congratulations you’re dead” screen. I give it two stars because it did keep me going all the way through one run.
