Ratings and reviews

This game isn't bad but after a while is just a waiting game, like many idle games. It's easy to stay ahead with side jobs, and you don't die if you watch your stats. However, after age 34 there a LOT of waiting. Waiting for a certain age for grandkids, etc., money for the down-payment for cars, etc. And that's where it gets boring. The stock market minigame is super glitchy and doesn't work most of the time.

It's alright. I like games like this where most of the gameplay is text instead of graphical. This game leaves a lot to be desired from a life sim though. Also what's up with the $125 price for 2 times salary? Dear devs: that's absolutely ridiculous to even consider putting a price like that in a game like this. I've never seen such a high price for double income on any game I've played that had the option to purchase double income. I've only seen a few games with in-app purchases over $100 but those games were hugely graphic intensive with much more replay value than this one. Bottom line in my opinion: this game is worth downloading and playing once then delete. Also, if you're gonna market a game in any given country, you should learn to speak that language fluently or hire someone to edit your dialogue for you. Otherwise it just feels cheaply done. Good luck.

The game is designed to make you lose money. You have to upgrade certain things (house, car, family, education) in order to get new jobs. But when you upgrade those things, your living cost is more expensive than the salary that the new job pays you. It's designed to make you have to watch videos and buy upgrades in order to play. Uninstalled.
