Play This Life — Life Sim

I hate that all the time you're born poor (i mean DIRT poor), and there's no way to change relationships with anyone. By age one iirc, the game assigns specific relationships and a lot of the time i end up hating everyone in my family by default. There is no way to change this. There is only 1 hang out option and it only works if you have a good relationship with the person and 99% of the time that is a laughable concept. Not enough time either- the first 18 years or so cannot be spent socializing or going out. Study, attend class, repeat. The minute you get into college your character is suddenly in a deep depression that cannot be wavered (huh! some of these are pretty accurate idk). Longest i survived was my early 30s and every single one of my deaths was due to suicide because everyone hated me and i was broke and homeless. The game gives you hints on characters liking you, you having crushes etc and the minute that is acted upon, my character suddenly hates their boyfriend/girlfriend. A lot of this needs to be fixed, aside from this it would be a nice game.

I really started to enjoy this game, but I feel like there needs to be more opportunities and ways for us to move out of the villages we live in especially in the free version, I unknowingly spent 10 years in Business Administration just to realize nothing has changed about my job, and they should add more jobs and maybe even we can become celebrities overall I enjoy the game just wish they treated the popular game with a bit more caution and more fun.

I’ve been enjoying this game a lot. I like it’s art style and the portraits it gives characters. I love that your character can see their great grand children being born. And I like that the game is real, it’s very reminiscent of the early Realives games that emphasized how precious but also challenging life is, especially for those of us born into a position without resources. However, it needs work, a better tutorial and more transparency for the player. I have no idea what my play character is good at or how certain things (like school subjects, courses, and cars) affect them/their future. I don’t know how to make my partners not break up with me which makes marriage impossible, and I can’t go back to see what text I missed when the year ended. I also feel like the housing and job situation could be a little bit easier. I will likely still purchase the full version to support the developers but I don’t think it’s a full game yet and could use some more tweaking. Still, I’m glad this game has been made and I found it. Hopefully more comes to it.
