Flowist plays out a whole life: from your first paycheck to 48 years later, every year is your call. NO WAITING Flowist is not an idle game. Nothing ticks in the background — a year only moves when you press "End Year". Close the app, come back a week later, and the game is exactly where you left it. You decide how long a session lasts; the game never puts you on a clock. HOW A YEAR GOES · Flow — the year's events arrive as cards: a job offer, a raise, a breakdown, health, family. Some cards are a roll of the dice, and the real odds are printed on the card. No blind gambles. · Investing — read the economy, build a portfolio, manage your buy list, hire or fire advisors. · Personal — education, habits, insurance and your records. Insurance is a fresh call every year. When the year ends you get a report: what came in, where it went, how you stand against last year. YOU LEARN TO READ THE STATEMENTS A live income statement and balance sheet are kept the whole way through — they fill in as you play. The first time a term shows up it goes into the glossary, and you can go back to it whenever you want. The point isn't memorising definitions; it's seeing why the numbers came out that way. FOUR COUNTRIES, FOUR DIFFICULTIES · Türkiye (TRY) — high inflation, a volatile economy. Just holding on to money is a skill. · United States (USD) — strong markets and salaries; taxes bite, health and education cost. · Europe (EUR) — stability and strong public healthcare; but heavy taxes and a narrow pay range. · Dubai (AED) — no income tax, savings pile up fast. The easiest run, and scored accordingly. Each country carries its own score multiplier, so the same game has four difficulty settings. ALSO · Badges you unlock along the way, and a dream to aim at. · Seven languages: Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese. · One-handed, built for iPhone. WHAT'S FREE The first 9 years are free and no account is needed. A yearly subscription continues the run and also removes ads. While playing free you'll see a banner, and the game offers optional rewarded ads — decline them and play carries on regardless. Because the free version is ad-supported, it needs an internet connection to play; the subscription also unlocks offline play. If you let the subscription lapse, the years you already played are never deleted. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS · Flowist Full Version — yearly subscription, auto-renewing. · Payment is charged to your Apple account when the purchase is confirmed. · The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends. · After purchase you can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. · Terms of use: https://zekcrc.github.io/flowist-legal/kosullar-ios.html · Privacy policy: https://zekcrc.github.io/flowist-legal/gizlilik-ios.html ONE NOTE Flowist is an educational simulation, not investment advice. Its economies, returns and prices are the game's own model; they carry no real market data and involve no real money.

The number to watch is not the salary. It is what is left of it. You pick a job, the city you live in, and one thing you are after. Then the months come: pay lands, costs are taken out, and something is left over — or nothing is. The game runs until what you own covers what you spend, or that day never arrives. HOW TO PLAY You roll, you move. On some squares two deals come up and you can take only one: price, down payment, monthly yield and risk are all written in front of you. If your cash falls short you can borrow — the instalment is written there too, because "borrow" on its own is just a promise. Everything you buy goes onto your statement. Your coverage shows how much of your monthly costs your passive income pays for. Reach 100% and you are out of The Grind; the road to your dream starts after that. THE NUMBERS ARE NOT INVENTED Salaries, rents, groceries and bills, deposit and bond yields all come from real data. Change country or city and the tempo changes: a cheap city gets you out early but your pay falls behind inflation, an expensive one drowns you in the first years. Twenty jobs, from courier to doctor, each with its own income, costs and debt. NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET, NO DATA There is no sign-up. The game runs on your phone and your progress stays on your phone. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere. No ads. THE FIRST 7 DAYS ARE FREE From the moment you install it, the whole game is open for seven days: twenty jobs, twenty dreams, every screen. After that, a subscription of 49.90 TRY per month is required to keep playing, and your saved game stays where it is. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. The subscription renews itself unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; you can cancel it on the Subscriptions page in your device settings. Turkish and English.
