Heartwarming and Entertaining

The game has a few quirks. It was made in the 80s, so many situations haven’t aged perfectly. Some parts of the game, like relationships, seem odd or buggy (you might randomly break up with your partner without the game ever informing you if you date in adolesence). However, playing to the end is a joy if you take it seriously. I shed a few tears the first time from the ending text, which is something I can’t say other life simulators can do. You feel more connected to these scenarios since the

LGBTQ+ OPTIONS PLEASEEEEEEE

How in 15 years do you guys not add the option to be gay? It would be an interesting choice to make in the game that could happen in adolescence, or maybe just randomly. It’s not super taboo to be gay anymore, please make it happen

Cute concept. Bit dated.

As I understand it, this is a copy-paste of a computer game from the 1980s—but as such, there are some features that don’t quite align with 21st-century values: - very pro corporal punishment - very heteronormative—just flat-out doesn’t acknowledge that LGBT+ people exist - some events, without necessarily needing to be, are written differently depending on the player character’s sex (there’s one in the Infancy stage that, if you’re a girl, you’re pulling all the cards out of mom’s purse, but fo

AMAZING

Most amazing game in the world that you have to play at least once! Always updated and supported! BETTER THAN BITLIFE NO ADS

Old school for the new crew!

Love it love it love it! Had it on 5 1/4 floppy’s back in the day(if I remember right, box opened like a ‘piece of vinyl’) anyway, ‘life simulator’ where you actually care about the choices you make and the person you become. One caveat, especially for younger generation(I’m 49), lots of reading….I love reading what the impact my choices actually make but it’s as much a story as a ‘sim’. 6 star!!

Love this game!

I always come back to this game and binge it for months at a time. I wish that you didn’t get a turn counted when you click on a category like “work” and back out that it didn’t count as a turn. Same with experiences that you end up being too old for or can’t do cause a parent is dead. Wish the game got occasional updates too. Overall I will always keep playing!

Love love love

Been playing this game on the browser for almost two decades, decided to finally pull the trigger and buy it for my phone. Such a good game! I think about it a lot even though it has been a while since my last play.

Please UPDATE

Please update the user interface. Add more options? Please I’ve loved this game since I found it on the internet when I was in elementary school

Fun but...

This game is worth $5 it’s really fun but it’s hard to have kids I’ve tried dozens of times but it keeps saying please try again. The three times it worked there were miscarriages please fix this!

I don’t give five stars often

This game absolutely destroyed me emotionally when I first played it. I had just lived an entire life in a matter of hours. It left me speechless so when I found out about the mobile version I had to download it

Great

I keep coming back to this game, I do think though that it should be a bit more updated to modern times and wish I could play every option of every phase cause it ends before I can do that but great game overall.

I LOVE THIS GAME

So entertaining and humourous, and accurate!

I got kidnapped

This game is dope, so many options

Great game

This is an amazing game. All of it's basically text based, and it's fun to go through all 7 stages in the game, or however long you last. I've had this game for about 2 years now, and I can't bring myself to delete it.

A great game

Its fun to pass time and just have a little fun.

PLEASE UPDATE FOR IPHONE X🙏🏼🙏🏼😭

I PAID $4.99 AND IT DOESN’T EVEN FILL UP THE SCREEN?? PLEASE FIX THIS😰

Absolutely beautiful.

I really wish the lives lasted longer than this, but this was great. I love it so much. I’m gonna go play it again. Bye!

I have loved this game for a long time

I've played this game many times over the years. it is a wonderful rpg that gives a unique experience every playthrough and evokes strong emotions with some of the scenarios. thank you

New scenarios!

Love this game! But I think it could use an update. Maybe some differing options? I feel like I know the placement of all the scenarios.

Game

I do not under stand what people want out of this game it was made in 1986 and they probably will never update it it’s just a fun classic it’s like expecting someone to update the first Mario game

Great game, but

I love this game, but there’s something that bothers me when I play as a girl. I cant get with others girls... as a raging lesbian this is an issue for someone who likes to pretend the character is herself. Other than that, great game! 9.8/10

Interesting take on life sim

Really fun, a good way to spend some time. I appreciate how early choices can affect down the line.

wowie

no matter how many times i play this game, i never get bored. sure a 30 minute break in between but i could play it all day. overall, amazing game. keep it up

Sweet and charming

This 80s game is sweet charming and super fun!

This game is amazing!!

Absolutely wonderful game, the only problem I have with it is that the life stages are a it short. I enjoy this game a lot and play it often!

I love it but...

it’s just very heteronormative :/

This app might make you feel Anxiety!

Okay at first the game might of fell unnatural but it’s alright at once you get the hang of it.

Great! But..

This game is overall great and fun to play, but I feel like more variety and more updates are needed. Besides that this is a heartwarming, fun game! And I’d suggest it to my friends!

1980’s

I had this exact game on a floppy disk for my Commodore 64 when I was a kid. I loved it then and I love it now.

Why do I have be straight

Why do you have to be cis and straight

LGBT

the game is fun but it is not inclusive. i wish i had homosexual options

Not enough diversity

I used to play this game when I was younger on the computer. I downloaded the game because I thought there would have been expansive upgrades to it after some time but I was pretty disappointed that there really wasn’t. There is no diversity in the game. A lot of the people described are blonde with blue eyes. Furthermore, it doesn’t include the LGBTQ+ community. It would be nice to go through a phase where you’re trying to understand your sexuality or gender identity. I did just read their Abou
