Life and Debt: A Real Life Simulator

The game is cute, and it's nice that it gets updates. But it's wildly inaccurate and was clearly made by someone with a negative outlook on life. There are a lot of really random and completely unavoidable debts you incur (like your mom sending you a $10,000 medical debt to pay?!) and it's nearly impossible to hold any job for more than a couple weeks. Additionally, the stock market in this game doesn't perform nearly as well as any realistic market. Overall, this is a game that really makes things seem harder than they are in real life.

This game would b great if only they didn't break something every time they fix something. The updates are far and few between and most of the breaks make it unplayable. So you are left waiting for a fix for half a year. And in the mean time you can't play. As of right now the stock market is broken. Scratch tickets are broken. Financeing items is broken. Don't buy until it becomes playable again.

If real life wasn't already enough to keep you in a constant state of anxiety fueled by debt, and never ending life events that come at the most inopportune times, then hold on to your socks cause Life and Debt is here! It's a fun game, priced about the same as a good cup of coffee and blacker than the soul of the barista who served it to you. The developer did a great job on such a simple game and the updates over time have been good to see. LaD:ARLS is a good time waster and a funny comparison to the struggles of the daily grind. If you need to kill a few hours, this game's worth it.

If you want a real life simulator that's not like real life at all, this is the game for you. Pros: - Funny achievement names. - Rent goes up over time, mimicking cost-of-living increases. - Stock market can be lucrative (get in there early and watch it often!). - Lotto scratch-off tickets are like in real life -- you're basically wasting your money. (Except they cost WAY more in the game than you'd spend in real life). Cons: - You're fired. Constantly. Doesn't matter if job security is high or low, or if you're working a job that requires education... expect to be fired anywhere between 7 and 30 days (more commonly between 14 and 30). - If you're fired before payday, you get the pay you are owed. However, if you switch jobs before payday, it seems that you don't get the pay owed (or there was no pop-up stating as such, but it seemed to me that my cash didn't go up at all). So if you want to switch jobs but need the upcoming cash from the current job, time it well against paydays, and hope that the classifieds don't change before you switch. - You can't take on debt to get education. Haven't they heard of student loans? - The same events happen over and over. How many times can y…

This game is still buggy even after the recent updates.

Very poor game.'This Grand Life' is MUCH better.
