One I think you should have the option to have siblings or somthing like that and I think you should make more games in the same art style, maybe like, growing up: life of the 20’s to show more of what it was like a long time ago or even life of the 80’s or the current year, with new characters in the same art style and option to have pets as well and I think another thing with the siblings is once you grow up you could have the option to have twins, where you play as both players or you could customize your character further (more hairs and outfits) and customization your parents and even friends (maybe).
This game is awesome, I love the gameplay. The love interest’s stories are really interesting and they feel like actual people and not archetypes. The gameplay is really fun, I love that there’s very little pressure to “win”; even when you do poorly in school or disappoint your parents it’s still part of your character’s story and personality. I’m able to give my player characters unique personalities and well-rounded skills. However, I bought this game a while ago and now I literally cannot play it. Whenever I try to load a save the app gets stuck in a never ending loading screen. This is in addition to the already long loading screens. Obviously this is a port of a PC game, but it seems like very little was done to optimize it’s performance. I play on IPad but I can’t imagine these issues are any better on IPhone. I love this game and I think it has great art, mechanics, and graphics but now that I can’t load my generations long save I feel cheated. I think this can be a 5-star game, but it needs issues sorted out immediately.
Absolutely amazing game! The day I got it I stayed up all night playing it, a few complaints I have is that it can be a bit complicated and confusing with the traits like charm, intelligence, etc. it’s very hard to keep up with what classes are necessary and what classes aren’t and while playing the game I have met the same people over and over again it gets kinda annoying when it happens. Other than that it’s a amazing game with great art and stories I just wish you could play past 18 like go to university/college like actually witness your characters life before playing the next generation also the parents (from my experience) are very generic like they don’t retain any qualities of when you played them which is a bit upsetting at times the game feels like the exact some story over and over again don’t get me wrong I love the game just wish it had more to it.
I love this game it’s a lot of fun, I really hope they expand on it, I wish they would give you a college portion, an area to see how your friendships are going, and way more romance then what we have in there. It would be cool to see them expand clothing, hair, and adding make up. I’m glad they added a bit of diversity in the game. It’s overall a really great game but it can be so much more. It’s just like Chinese parents but they both have their differences to say the least. It is like like, it would be cool if they offered some of the life stuff in there like the house you’ll end up choosing. If there was more to this game I do think that it would be good for switch like a college and young adult section to chose your career and marriage and etc. I wish that it was more like it needs more spice.
I love this game , it needs much more though , It tough to get points , and the special requests takes forever to earn , would like more skills to be attended and faster game play , also would like a feature where we can save our data to our email or FB and can play this game on different devices, it great especially how to raise a child , please add more interaction with parents and school , also add picking hair style getting ready toileting etc Please add more storylines and characters where they is a dialogue, also need more customization for clothes etc ,
This game was fun and had a lot of potential I just wish it was longer and there was more to do for instance I would have love to see my character play a sport and get a scholarship also wish I could of followed them to college it would of been cool to run for prom king or class president maybe even take a avid or rotc class maybe get a job buy a car be born to a single parent household or a upper/lower class district also managing parental and mental health is kind of limited so I feel as though wants I master an activity an evolved form of that activity will appear for example football 101/ freshmen football/J.V/Varsity/Captain/All American. Maybe if you start in elementary (pop warner) you skip freshmen and go to J.V otherwise cool game
I love this game so much! I’ve finished to games so far and have been really enjoyed it. I do have a few minor issues but it’s not enough to make me ditch the game. I would love the option to hangout with certain characters/friends too instead of it always being a random character. If it were a mix of choosing to hangout with someone and having events with random characters, that would be amazing. I think being able to worry less about our parents’ thoughts/meter would be great too. It does add difficulty to the game, which i do kinda enjoy, because in a way, it’s fairly realistic with our own lives. Nonetheless, being able to choose difficulty within the game would be a great addition. The game really is amazing though! I love the art, soundtracks, and idea of it. Meeting many different characters and seeing their unique lives is also pretty cool!
Okay, so I’ve played this game almost 4 times now. I think instead of worrying about how your parents feel about you, you should be able to do what YOU want and also if you fail out of school there is consequences, like no allowance, no doing out for a couple turns. Also, I wish the game was way longer, I’ve never became anything other than an employee at RadioShack because the game is so short and it’s too hard to even wrack up the proper skills to become anything else. Even with 89 percent exam readiness, I still cannot pass the SAT?? I would just like; longer gameplay, less worrying about parents, more stamina to do more throughout the game, easier to boost skills, easier to find a proper job. Plus my battery drains super fast and hopefully that gets fixed too!! And I know this all seems mean to say. But, I do also enjoy the game!!! The different personalities in each character, the beautiful scenery, the different jobs you COULD get if you tried hard enough.
Update: I own this game on steam also. I have played it probably 10 times now and really enjoy all the different characters and how you slowly bond with them. I have tried different professions and I think the higher the SAT score at the end with the career path you have gone farthest with combine to decide how well you did in that job. The best I’ve had was an Olympic swimmer. Game is really great but it makes the phone really hot and really drains the battery. I hope that gets fixed in an update.
I absolutely love this game! I only have a few suggestions and a few things I would change. I wish there where options to do sports or be able to visit your friends. And most of all I wish there where more characters, because after you play it for a while it’s just a loop of the same characters or people you have already interacted with in past games. Other then those few things I think it’s one of the most fun games!
I’ve had a great time learning new methods to get higher “Traits” but I’ve played through 3 times and got college dean each time I’m not sure if this is because I have a clear bias towards “Int Based Gameplay” in all video games that give me the choice to so maybe nearing 10k int each time is just putting me into the teaching sector? I struggle to not do int stuff but I’ll be giving it a attempt next time. TLDR: Great Fun, Strategy involved, Spelling Mistakes Occasionally, imo Nice Art
I noticed that a lot of people in the reviews were complaining about how finishing this game to get a good ending was nearly impossible, but I got a good score on my first run. I have determined that this is a game all about skill and strategy, along with a lot of patience. I do agree however that the SAT is a bit harder than it needed to be because I was 100% ready for it and still only got a B. I think that this game is a ten out of ten would recommend. (:
I spent a whole day just playing this game and living different outcomes. All the stories and characters were so interesting but sadly very quickly certain characters and storylines replay too soon. I would love if maybe some time in the future more stories and characters could be added. I loved playing this and honestly I know nothing quite like it.
I really liked the concept of this game and was able to complete two different outcomes for two different characters. The art was cute and the characterizations were fun. However, by the second run-through, I was already getting repetitive options and by the third it honestly felt pretty identical. I feel like I would not have been let down if I hadn’t gone in with such high expectations for a unique experience on each playthrough.
This game is awesome I’ve played it like 6 times LOL! The art style, the characters, and the mostly the storyline is just so awesome. The only thing I wish for the game is to grow old and not just end at high school, and I kept meeting the same characters over and over even there there is 19 :’> I hope you keep adding to this but other than that I really love this game and it’s definitely worth it <3
This game is very good and must’ve took a lot of time to make, the only thing I wish that the game had was a way longer life span like birth to death, if the game had all this content plus that this game would surely get 99% of the attention from the Apple store from EA to Google Play, a lot of businesses that hold up game stores would be interested.
The game itself is extremely fun and I love the fact that you can play as your kid but the SAT exam is almost impossible to get higher than a C. My character always ends up as a babysitter or RadioShack employee because I can never get higher than a D. I do fine on all the other exams and my preparedness score is quite high. It makes the game frustrating and harder to enjoy.
This game is amazing and goes into detail about life events, where other games don’t. The only thing I would give feedback on is I wish some of the storyline was actually different each life. After the 3rd life it just got a little repetitive, but I enjoyed it still. Just wish there was as much difference as advertised.
I’ve been playing for hours and hours, this is my favorite game on my IPad. I definitely think it needs more! I’d love to be able to do more and choose more. I’m obsessed with this game. Please don’t forget about it 💛😭
I love this game, so so so much. It’s really fun, addictive, and changes (at least a bit), every time. One thing though, which irritates me so much, is the SAT exam. I’ve played this game through 6 or 7 times, and I have never gotten above a D. It is incredibly frustrating, especially after pursuing a whole law career, to turn out as a nanny. Other than that, the game is great, if not a bit repetitive.
I love this game. However. I can’t stand the SAT exam. The first three exams are fine. Easy peasy. I don’t know if I’m stupid, but the SAT exam is incredibly hard compared to the previous. It’s so frustrating to be excelling in certain subjects, have exam readiness above 85% just to get a C on the SAT and come out as a nanny or radio shack employee. Maybe there should be a difficulty setting? Also. All my kids look the same facial feature wise and I think variability would be nice.
I have been playing this game non stop for days now and I love how much contents it offers! I’m considering to also get the Steam version to play this every where and also because this game drains my phone battery like crazy, heats up after 20 minutes every time. I hope this issue gets fixed in the future!
Finished the game pretty quickly. Wish I had more to do. More choices, college, more customization for my character, and more people to befriend. Very interesting at first and held my attention for about a day. Regret buying it for the price. Maybe $2 would be more understanding that this, but overall a decent game.
This game is really addicting. I played this game all the time when I got it but I soon forgot about this game but when I started play it again it was even more addicting. This game is really great but could use more endings.
i literally don’t regret paying for it this game is so worth the five dollars. i’ve only had it for three days but i’ve played through hundreds of lives inside the game. my favorite feature are the characters. how you get to meet someone different each time. this game is just so amazing, i recommended to every i knew- i just love it so much and it’s so addicting and hard but in a great way. please download it this game needs more attention this is so underrated-
I have truly been OBSESSED with this game recently. It is so interactive. I am hoping that there will be updates soon more interaction with who you choose to build relations with, siblings, pets, more occupations, furthering you future as an adult.
I just adore this game. But I keep getting the same storylines. I’d love it if we could get an update. New characters, storylines, etc. Aside from that this is such an amazing game.
So I am in love with this game! But I keep running into the issue where it freezes with girl characters. I’ve run 3 games with boys to the end, no issues. Two games with girls and it freezes. Anyone else have this issue? I’ve deleted and reinstalled each time.
It’s a fantastic game, have played about 30 times. My only complaint is that they need some updated content because I’ve seen absolutely every outcome I can possibly get.
I have an iPhone 12 and when I tell you my screen burns HOT after only 15 mins of playing-trust and believe! Nothing fixes this-not even lowering my brightness and setting my phone on low power mode. Why is this happening with this particular game???
It’s bitlife but more visuals, that’s it. Once you graduate high school, the game is over. You could at least go all the way to death instead of when they graduate high school. Waste of money.
The game is really fun. Issue is my save data is not getting fetch. I have closed the app several times and waited around 2 minutes each time to see if it would be fetched but it hasn't.
It’s not loading properly like at all. It just wouldn’t let me go pass the point of year 1 for some reason. I tried deleting some stuff but still no. Also it drain my battery a lot so…
It crashes every time I am approach the high school age group. I give up playing the game. It was great but clearly the developers need to work out the issues of this App.
I didn’t really like this game, It was very boring to me..I thought it would be like bitlife. Feels like I wasted my money (sorry if this sounds rude!) :(
Live up to your parents expectations or suffer depression your whole life!
You would be better off to take a 5 dollar bill, rip it up and sprinkle it on a salad and eat it. Seriously if you don’t live up to your parents expectations this game LITERALLY SAYS “anti-depressants and fear will remain with you till the end of your days”. That’s all you need to know about this game.
I’m honestly not that impressed so far. The whole learning thing isn’t that fluid and the story line is cookie cutter and predictable. Probably gonna ask for a refund.
