A Game You Can Afford In This Economy

Oh boo hoo, this game isn't fun? Well LIFE isn't fun, bucko! Seriously, this is an intentionally punishing but well-written game that's all about the knife-edge of life under late-stage capitalism. Your only goal is to survive but the slightest setback can mean game over. It's pessimistic, it's cruel, and it's unfair, but it's also short and pointed. The point isn't to give you a rich, fulfilling adventure. The point is to piss you off about the state of the world. And it definitely succeeds in that. Maybe it feels overly sour but I can't fault where it's coming from.

I like how the game displays reality for those who are down on their luck and the struggles one must endure to get through life. I would recommend this game simply because the price is right and I appreciate the replay-ability.

good game, very depressing but a good commentary on the world today, and how easy it is for one bad day to slip into a bad life, like forgetting to lock your bike up when going to work, leads to our character losing their jobs and house because they cant get to work, and dying under a bridge, sad, but realistic

Well damn, this felt... accurate. A game I believe that everyone should need to play through to understand what being broke is really like, and how people can get to that point.

I mean it's ok, it could use a more friendly UI for playing I'd say get it on sale not at full price

Good idea & atmosphere - I thought mechanically this would be similar to some old titles such as Heart Of China, but unfortunately the UI is too clunky & off putting pixel hunt that it prevented me from enjoying the game.
