The concept of the game is really good I like that it's realistic as it is very challenging for me. However, the circle thing at the corner of the screen that dictates how much time you have left is a bit inconvenient because it is due to that I cannot get anything done so if it could atleast go a little longer it would be easier to complete and also it is si hard to go from unhappy to happy

Thanks for playing Play This Life, Tavana! To have more time, you could hire household staff in Adjust Lifestyle or you could do time-saving activities like use a Laundromat, Fast Food Joint, etc in the Go Out section. You can also do fun activities aligned with your play person's personality traits to cheer your play person up or Waste Time.

really fun game! debating on upgrading to legacy version at some point actually! Only reason not 5 stars is sometimes it feels repetitive... But!! I've gotten into it again and my characters keep having chronic illnesses it seems! I don't understand WHY this is, but it's occuring! And its also entertaining (to me at least, and very relatable too!)

A wonderful game with lots of realistic features, but some thing that I think should be added to the game are save menu (So that when you leave the game you can return back to it, but also be able to see what you achived in previus life), and also some game features such as kid's adoption, more interaction with NPC, and etc.

Thanks for loving Play This Life, Кайло! There is a save button in Life Log > ☰, and we have added the ability to adopt and be adopted in the last 2 updates! We have also noted your suggestions and will certainly keep them in mind when doing future updates šŸ¤“

What’s new

The Orphanage Update:
Play people may now be abandoned at birth, taken to an orphanage when their parents die or go to jail, or get taken in by concerned relatives! They may also get adopted, grow up with adoptive parents, get their education sponsored by charities, solve mysteries about their origins and go hunting for their birth family. On top of that, we’ve added the option to quit school, improved how literacy works, included free higher education in countries that have it, and fixed bugs!
