LifeSim: A Good Life
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Build your life. Manage your money. Try not to blow it all at the shop.
LifeSim: A Good Life drops you into a quiet neighborhood where every month brings new choices: pick up extra work, grow a side hustle, treat yourself, or sock it away for a rainy day. Life has a way of throwing surprises, and how you handle them is up to you.
Wander your neighborhood, clock in at work, browse the shop, and wind down at home. Along the way you'll deal with real financial decisions: savings accounts, credit card debt, unexpected bills, investment accounts, and career moves, wrapped in a warm, painterly world that makes it all feel a little less stressful than real life.
At the end of the year, you'll see how it all shook out. Your savings rate, your happiness, your net worth. Were you The Balanced One? The Grinder? The Spendthrift? The Debtor? Try again, and see if you get a different result.
Features
- Explorable neighborhood with enterable scenes: Work, Shop, Home, and discoverable side hustle locations
- Real financial mechanics: HYSA, investments, credit cards, emergency funds, career progression
- Random life events that reward preparation and punish complacency
- Cozy painterly art with firefly evenings and warm neighborhood vibes
- End-of-year grade, financial archetype, and personalized lessons
- Pay what you want — including nothing. If you play, I'd love to hear what you think
Inspired by the cozy loop of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, with something real underneath.
