Life of an NPC

A flawed game with a starvation bug, the ai cant feed themselfs and dies because of it. The dev wrote to me that it will perhaps be fixed but with no date. So probably abandonded. Good idea but abandoned the same year it was released.

not updated, abandoned project. Not worth your money

Like the review before me, this is also my first review of a game ever. This game hasn't been touched since April, and the game just drags on. The AI doesn't really respond to the little input you do have, so it's just a text-based storyteller without much to say. Great potential, but it's still just an idea.

This is essentially an abandoned tech demo for another game the developer is soon releasing, "Anywhere RPG". If you're interested by this, go check that out instead as it's much more fleshed out and polished.

The needs system is what is holding this game back. Hunger and mood depletes so quickly, and the AI struggles to keep itself alive. If that were to be fixed, this would be an awesome experience. Maybe just an option to turn needs off completely.

While I like the idea of the game as a whole, I struggle to find real enjoyment with it because of how barebones it is at the moment. There just isn't much to do at the moment, and often the NPCs will get stuck in a loop of repeating actions and will, more times than not, just starve themselves to death. Not only that, the last major update was March 20, 2025, with the last official update being April 26, 2025, so this isn't already boding well for a game in Early Access. There has been no comments, updates, talks, or virtually anything regarding this game, from the Reddit, the Website (which no longer exists), X (which hasn't posted anything) and the dev has already made two other games after this one, so I'm going with the notion that this game might be abandoned. The novelty of building your own story, and watching your carefully crafted NPCs, towns, and items "evolve" will rapidly wear out and then you'll just be sitting there doing nothing. Like I said, I really like the concept of the game, but as of this comment, I do not recommend it, even if it goes on sale at some point.
