You are born. The rest is up to you. Top of the class, or drop out and start your own company? Find love on a dating app, or cheat and lose everything? Doctor, lawyer, influencer, politician or crime boss: Existence is a text-based life simulator where you live one life, from your first day to your last. Every choice shapes the years ahead, and no two lives turn out the same. SCHOOL AND REPORT CARDS Go from kindergarten to university. Study hard: your report cards decide your exam scores and which school you get into. Build skills at the library and raise your limits with courses. CAREER AND BUSINESS 41 careers, each with its own promotion ladder. Ace the interview, get promoted, quit. Or start your own company: a café, a software studio, a construction firm, a grocery store, a trucking company, an online shop, even a soccer club. Each one runs its own way. MONEY Salary, rent, taxes and loan payments tick by day. Invest in currencies, stocks, gold, crypto and funds. Every country has its own tax system. HOMES AND TENANTS Buy houses, land and cars. Rent your place out and deal with tenants who pay late. RELATIONSHIPS Get to know your family, make friends, match with someone on the dating app. Ask them out, get engaged, get married, have kids. Relationships run on four dimensions: closeness, trust, attraction and anger. Neglect them and they fade. You can adopt a pet, too. HEALTH 18 illnesses, treatment decisions, hospital stays. How you eat and move decides how long you live. Careful players live a very long time. CHOICES HAVE A PRICE Take the shortcut if you want: theft, fraud, robbery. Get caught and prison, a criminal record and closed doors are waiting. THE WORLD 22 countries with real cities and neighborhoods: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Toronto, Tokyo and more. Each has its own wages, housing prices and culture. Travel, buy property abroad, run for office and win elections, grow a following on social media. WHAT IS INSIDE 1,001 events, 143 activities, 66 courses, 71 shop items, 40 vehicles, 41 careers, 22 countries and badges to collect. Every life starts from a different seed, so even the same choices can lead somewhere else. If you like life sim games, text adventures and stories where your decisions matter, Existence lets you write your own life story. The game requires an internet connection. Your save is kept on your phone and backed up on our server. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://varolus.zippex.dev/privacy/
