This is a thought-provoking game! It was fun trying out different possibilities to see what would happen. Really liked all those lovely bits of narrative popping up in the console, a neat juxtaposition of humanity and tech. Great work!
Well. I hope I beat my high score.
Just like real life, probably could have started doing cardio earlier. Thanks for sharing :D
Wow! really liked this life simulator. This is very well designed and fun to play. Limiting the energy really forces you to balance all four elements according to the currect age just like in real life. Great work i must say!!
Aaaaaah, life is going by so fast and I don't know how to allocate my time and energy!
Oh, also, this game is pretty cool
Pretty neat and a little depressing. Gonna lie down for a bit now.
(Don't worry, I'm fine, mostly intended as a humorous comment)
pretty neat and a lil depressing is exactly the vibe we were trying to hit! cheers for playing and enjoy your lie down!
Definitely an interesting take on the theme! As someone who likes to get every collectible in games, I think it would be pretty neat if you could see what you need to do to unlock the achievements or at least get hints when you move the mouse over an achievement you're yet to obtain.
Other than that, I really enjoyed creating different life scenarios and living through them! My best score was 1812 (age 116), I got it by only exercising and doing nothing else from about age 1. Here's a screenshot of all the achievements I managed to collect:
Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! I added achievements last minute, so I’m glad you enjoyed them and sorry you can only see them once they are unlocked!!! Seeing unlock requirements is definitely necessary as you acc have them all - the top right achievement requires the ying-yan stat to be 100 which is impossible in the current build, and the last three slots are empty. So congratulations on full, blind completion! Extra achievement for that!
thanks for the indepth feedback! and well done on basically completing the game, that's amazing!
That was so cool, really loved the little messages about how the life was progressing and I love the whole asethic of the operating system! Also very funny at times lol! The end screen with an overview of the life you lead was a nice touch too, and it worked perfect with no bugs, really well done!
end screen was all Louis! he smashed it. loved your game too with the luggage's, it was really fun and has real potential!
Very interesting game! Such a cool take on the theme. I really like the art and music. Fits the game well.
kind of you! thanks!
All work and no play makes looper a dull boy
Also really liked the achievements, creative and funny. Especially the low exercise ones lol
exercise is important else you'll never learn to walk
cheers for playing!
I've seen a few different games this jam take this concept on, but the music, writing, and overall production value really came together to make this stand out. Great job.
oh sweet, that's cool! would love to play other games with a similar concept, any chance you could share em? thanks for playing and for the nice words!
Not exactly the same idea, but check these out

Really intersting and unique game
<3
One of the most unique games I've played this jam. Super creative take on the theme and I liked the little flavor text for the various life events. Great work! VOD here with my full thoughts. Thanks for submitting to the stream!
thank you so much for playing this on stream! appreciate your feedback and your videos in general! :)
I played a couple rounds because in my first couple runs it would tell me that I died a very sad person. And that made me mad so I did a run where I happiness-max. That taught me that money does not mean anything in life... (apparently). Really cool game :)
that's definitely one takeaway! there's no right or wrong, if that was your optimum way to play!
Cool take on a sim type game and bringing in the theme of the jam! Really great narrative, unique idea, great job!
thank you, very kind!
"You and your friends discover FOO FIGHTERS" made me absolutely crack up. The writing managing to balance the grim realities of life with comedy is great, really drew me in and had me going through the whole game a few times. I did find myself wishing the process was a little faster on repeat playthroughs but otherwise this is excellent!
thats great feedback! glad it made you laugh!
This is incredibly novel! I just kept going in loops to see what else the narrative had. I only wish there was more narrative! And maybe some direct feedback to the consequences of the slider's actions. Honestly great game
YEAAA thanks for playing my dude! and cheers for the good feedback!
A very cool idea. An explanation for the stats would be nice in the future.
cheers for playing!!! and great idea!
I was the happiest person to ever live and finished on exactly 0 pounds, I call that a win :D Very interesting take and very well done. Didnt quite understand how to get the last stat tho (the yin yang thing)
its the hardest stat to get - your life meaning! cheers for playing, sounds like you lived a great life!
Unexpectedly profound and just a little bit existentially horrifying. Great stuff!
a little bit horrifying isn't the worst! glad you found it profound!
Cool game, prety confuse at first but you can learn how to play :) Nice work!
cheers!
