I was born poor

‎

A wonderfully gritty, intimate, and beautifully poignant indie life-simulator that breathes fresh new life into the interactive narrative genre! Stepping into the worn-out shoes of an underdog struggling to escape systemic poverty and build a meaningful future from absolute scratch is every bit as emotionally gripping and tense as it sounds.The deliberately minimalist visual design and moody, rain-soaked environment layouts capture that magical, high-energy atmospheric dread flawlessly. What truly elevates the gameplay loop is the raw, choice-driven progression: balancing low-wage daily grinds with risky street opportunities, managing your tight survival budget, and making heavy moral choices creates an incredibly rewarding and frantic emotional workout.It is the absolute perfect, light-hearted yet existential single-player gem for testing your deductive reflexes, reflecting on social realities under pressure, and chasing a truly life-changing story finale—all for the grand price of dirt cheap! A brilliant, tightly contained narrative masterpiece that is a must-play for any fan of experimental indie dramas. Definitely recommended!

Compared to the first two entries in the series, it is a bit underwhelming. The story and worldbuilding are much stronger in the first two games. The beloved Hee-chan is also missing unhappily. The absence of the series staple fixed camera angle puzzles was a disappointment. I look very much forward to future output, but I have to say that the prior works felt more inspired.

It's so slow! And you die very easily. And to very uninteresting deaths. No thank you, bye.

I really wanted to like this game, especially because it was free. But the tags for this "game" are completely wrong. It's more of a visual novel than an action or RPG. While I normally enjoy VN games, they usually have good grammar. The English grammar in this game is not the best. In addition, there's an entire section in German. I don't read or speak German so why is there an entire section of the game in that language?!?!
