What players like
- Highly detailed simulation with massive depth of content and branching choices
- Multiple career paths, romance, business, investing, and crime systems
- Save slots and Time Machine checkpoints enable story branching and experimentation
- Impressive year-by-year aging system that tracks relationships and wealth progression
- Dozens of random events and outcomes create replayability
Common complaints
- Random events occur at implausible ages (e.g., property purchases and rival challenges at ages 0-5)
- AI chat conversations feel limited, robotic, and cringey rather than naturalistic
- Steep learning curve and complex interface without adequate tutorial guidance
- Bugs including persistent promotion popups and events from deceased previous lives
- UI layout unintuitive for first-time players with overwhelming feature density
What real reviews say
★★ Has potential This could be a good game but there’s a lot of bugs.
★★★★ Digits So, enjoying it so far, still needs work but it’s solid. One issue is that depending on how you pass the years, after 10, you lose a digit and can’t really see where you’re at.
★ Promising But.. Game seems detailed but I can’t select half of the game menus. I’m not sure if it’s because of my phone or if the game itself has issues. I did the tutorial and it was fine. After I completed the tutorial it wouldn’t let me select anything in the setting tab or the action tab. The only thing it woul
