I reached my favorite number, 73. The idea is cool I had to try a few times to understand it and it can get hard (just like real life) Good job!

Years are shortReally cool concept. I'm curious on what triggers certain events, for example the start investing one. In the run I made less money I got it and on the one I worked way more I didn't. Besides that really good job, the UI is really polished.

Ticking MemoryWow we need to sleep a lot. Does exercising and care actually make you live longer?
Great idea and execution, very thought provoking. I think it's even more impactful than the youtube video because you can actually decide what to do with your time
In my first run I had a balanced life and died happily age 99 so naturally I decided to see what would happen when you don't watch our for the values at the bottom. This way it's less thought provoking and more comedic... so turns out if all you do is play games you can live your dream until 28

Rock Paper Schemes: Lesson ZeroThanks, glad you liked it!
Yes, exercise helps with keeping you happy, declining less, it can really help at the end. And care keeps up your health (getting less effective the older your get). It seems you did pretty well already reaching 99, let's hope you do as well as that in your first run of real life:)
Putting everything in play definitely doesn't give you many years, hope you the rockstar milestone for that though.

Lol thanks, you too!

I was just joking about how you can't possibly live that long without eating or sleeping irl, but integrating that into the gameplay might be too punishing?
Simple idea that made an intence and fun game! Managed to get to 98, I loved how I needed to put effort to balancing all stats. Well done! :)

2 Goals DownI think I managed to get away without ever exercising, ha ha. Really love how the options changed throughout your life and you had to find the right balance. The simplicity of the game was so perfect!

Make It Make CentsReally great, and thought provoking. I LOVE the soundtrack, makes it feel like I'm interacting with an informative youtube video or a segment from a pbs show.

A Dungeon Out of TimeIt's an interesting concept—I haven't seen anything like it before. It's pretty good.
