Every life starts the same way: no money, no job, no plan. What happens next is entirely yours. Deep Life Simulator is a life sim with a real economy underneath it. Wages are taxed. Loans charge interest. Rent is due whether or not you can pay. Markets move on their own and do not care that you are in them. Every choice compounds, for decades, until you die and hand what is left to an heir. BUILD A CAREER, OR DON'T • 20+ career ladders, from courier to surgeon to CEO • Go to university, or skip it and start earning at 16 • Or take the other road: street work, the dark web, and the chance of prison GO LIVE AND GET FAMOUS • Stream live, upload videos and grow a following from zero • Hype trains, personal bests and a recap after every broadcast • Level up Life Skills that make every career and goal easier MAKE REAL MONEY MOVES • A live stock market with sectors that rotate • Crypto you can trade or mine • Property to rent out, businesses to found, staff to hire • Loans, credit scores, arrears and the very real possibility of bankruptcy LIVE AN ACTUAL LIFE • Date, marry, argue, divorce • Raise children who inherit your looks and your money • Keep your health, your friends and your reputation alive • Buy the watch, the car, the house — or don't, and retire early THEN DO IT ALL AGAIN When you die, your heir takes over. They keep the fortune you built, the family name you made, and the mess you left behind. Prestige across generations, unlock permanent advantages, and find out how far a dynasty can go. WHY THIS ONE AND NOT ANOTHER LIFE SIM Most life sims resolve a choice with a dice roll and a line of text. Here the economy keeps running between your decisions and pushes back on them. Nothing waits for you to look at it. You can be a surgeon who never breaks the law, or a courier who ends up running a dark web operation out of a rented room. Both are real routes through the same economy, and neither is the "correct" one. HOW IT TREATS YOU • Plays offline — your save lives on your device • Full-screen ads only at year-end breaks, never in your first two years, and one purchase removes them permanently • No real-time energy bar standing between you and the next week A life runs for decades and every week is a decision you make. Most people start a second one. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://wrexist.github.io/DeepLifeSimulator/privacy.html

You are eighteen. You have two hundred dollars, no degree, and rent is due in thirty days. Or you have a trust fund, $800 a month for life, and a family that burns its people out by forty. You didn't pick. Nobody picks. That's where The Provider begins. From here you get one month at a time, about six hundred of them. Take the shift or take the class. Rent or buy. Pay down the card or put it in the index fund. Then you press End Month — the paycheck lands, the bills come out, and the receipt tells you exactly what your choices were worth. The receipt never flatters you. WORK YOUR WAY UP Start on the fast-food line at $12 an hour and climb. Or go to trade school at night and come out a licensed plumber with your name on the trucks. Or grind through medical school and spend a decade underwater before the money ever turns. Seventeen jobs, five trades, degrees from associate to master's, and licensing exams you can genuinely fail. MONEY THAT BEHAVES LIKE MONEY Index funds and individual stocks. A 401(k) with an employer match you'd be foolish to leave on the table and an early-withdrawal penalty that shows you the full damage before you confirm. Mortgages, refinancing, property taxes. Credit-card interest compounding against you roughly ten times faster than the market compounds for you. Crypto, if you're feeling brave. Two hundred a month from age eighteen is six figures by your mid-forties; start at thirty and you finish with barely half. The early dollars do the heavy lifting. That's the whole game. BUILD SOMETHING Fifteen kinds of business, from a $3,000 food cart to a craft brewery, a dental practice, a boutique hotel, a minor-league ball club. Hire people. Underpay them and watch them leave in the middle of a recession. Set prices, run marketing with honestly diminishing returns, survive inspections and the competitor across the street. Build a reputation until you earn a real brand — Beloved, Household Name, or Everywhere — each one a different bet. Then promote a veteran to manager and finally work ON the business instead of in it. Fair warning: ownership is a stress engine, heavier than most jobs. A LIFE, NOT A SPREADSHEET Ten states, each a genuinely different game. No income tax in Texas. Hurricanes in Florida — insure the house, seriously. California pays top of market and takes it back in rent. Ohio has the cheapest homes in the game and the most honest work. Around all of it: a partner, kids, friends who drift if you never call. Kids cost a fortune and are the best investment in the game — one in five has a business spark, and when they pitch you at sixteen, listen. Stress compounds into burnout. Pets pass. Some things you cannot buy your way out of. 51 SCENARIOS Fixed puzzles with medals to earn. Inherit a dying restaurant with a furious underpaid crew and six grand of debt. Build a company to $250,000 with no loans, no investors, no credit cards — every dollar of growth from a customer. Twenty rental doors. Dig out of an avalanche of debt. Raise two kids on one income and put them both through college. Gold, silver, bronze, and a clock running. THE ENDING YOU EARN You don't retire at an age. You retire when the money will outlast you. Then comes the accounting: net worth, dividends collected, children raised, people still close to you at the end — and a grade from D to S. Your best lives go up on the leaderboard. YOUR WORLD, YOUR RULES Turn off layoffs, hurricanes, medical emergencies, scams, gambling content, even inflation. Every hardship you remove cuts your final score, and customized runs are marked. The top of the board belongs to the hardest hand, played on Hard, with nothing switched off. Plus 100+ achievements, ten save slots, and a difficulty setting that's honest about what it's worth. No ads. No accounts. No internet required. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Fiction, not financial advice.
