    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a unique and engaging puzzle-based experience with challenging minigames that reflect harsh, realistic life mechanics. However, many players find the difficulty steep due to unforgiving RNG elements and a frustrating loan system, which can feel repetitive and discourage progression without monetary investment. Despite these issues, the core gameplay loop and concept are praised for their depth, artistic style, and meaningful storytelling.

    • “This game is awesome. The minigames may seem a little hard or even impossible at the beginning, but as you play more and progress through the endings, you start to notice that the minigames for each job appear easier because you've tried them many times and become good at them.”
    • “The idea is conveyed extremely well through its mechanics, which are engaging on their own.”
    • “The developers are right when they said this is a 'very hard game.' This depicts reality very much, just much more simplified. Despite the hard gameplay, the game is honest in promoting that it isn't easy to beat.”
    • “The minigame is made so you'll never win, and the debt mechanic just made it impossible to play, and there's no way to upgrade anything, so it's just the same impossible game every time.”
    • “Complete waste of time, literally nothing but actual trash. Do not play this game, as it is literally only depressing and is never fun. You'll rarely get anything other than poor parents, you'll almost never be able to land a job or keep a friend because the mechanic is god awful to be able to do so. If you want to enjoy a happy life in the game, you'll have to buy clovers with real money. If you're expecting a fun, engaging game, this isn't it; it's literally depression the video game.”
    • “It looks good, but the gameplay is garbage and you will never progress with these unfair minigames.”
  • monetization
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization in the game is mixed: while several players appreciate the minimal or optional ads and the ability to buy a no-ads upgrade for better enjoyment, many criticize frequent unskippable and intrusive ads, excessive microtransactions, and occasionally buggy ad-related features. Some feel the monetization tactics, like difficult mini-games encouraging purchases, detract from the overall experience.

    • “It may be a difficult game, but it makes getting a good ending even sweeter. The risk/reward aspect of this game is done to perfection, the visuals are great, just like any games that come from this company. Overall a great game, no ads or forcing you to buy anything. It's honestly one of the best mobile games I've played.”
    • “I really enjoy this app, and bought the no ads to support it - I hope to see more like it from the devs!”
    • “Game is addicting, real story, cute art style. I love it, I even bought no ads so I can enjoy it more.”
    • “Dude, this would be a good game if it wasn't for the impossible mini games which only lead you to microtransactions. It's unbelievably stupid and unfair.”
    • “To drive players to the microtransactions, which is pathetic.”
    • “Lousy cash grab spam game.”
  • story
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is widely praised for its unique and realistic portrayal of life's challenges, featuring multiple endings and emotionally impactful narratives. Players appreciate the blend of simple yet beautiful art with engaging storytelling, though some feel the plot could be expanded and find certain gameplay elements difficult. Overall, the story is considered compelling, relatable, and a standout aspect that enhances the game's addictive charm.

    • “Its unique storytelling style and various endings are so interesting to me.”
    • “I absolutely love it, I like how the art is simple yet beautiful, and the story about how life actually goes in the real world is amazing.”
    • “This game is fantastic and for players who liked the Candy Crush concept, you'd like this one even more because it has a variety of storylines behind it.”
    • “The story is fixed and you can't do anything to change it.”
    • “It's fun but I feel like they could add more to the storyline as the game ends too quickly.”
    • “Gameplay is basically Candy Crush where every once in a while you get a piece of story that is constantly full of misery.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their unique, charming, and detailed art style, often described as beautiful, adorable, and fitting the game's concept perfectly. While some users find the visuals captivating and a highlight of the experience, a few mention that the graphics can feel basic or unremarkable. Overall, the artwork and animation significantly enhance the game's appeal despite mixed opinions on difficulty and gameplay.

    • “But it is a great game with an incredible art style and attention to detail.”
    • “This game's concept is a stroke of genius, complemented by stunning graphics that captivate players.”
    • “The premise is clever and the artstyle is beautiful.”
    • “Also very pay to win, the graphics are awful as well.”
    • “Meh, art style is fine and cute and all, but it's kinda boring.”
    • “The graphics were just like this.”
  • stability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game frequently suffers from stability issues, including freezing, crashing, and unresponsive controls, often requiring restarts that result in lost progress. These bugs, especially during intense gameplay moments or specific mini-games, significantly disrupt the experience despite the game's overall fun and engaging nature. Users urge developers to address these persistent glitches to improve playability.

    • “When starting a life, after the first move/match, the game bugs out, and it just freezes.”
    • “The game is actually pretty fun, but I have found some bugs in it; sometimes when I combo too much or there's too much activity happening at once, the game freezes and I can only unfreeze it when I get out of the game and my progress is gone (this happened when I was born in the rich family).”
    • “Whenever I open the app the game just glitches; the pixel animations still move but I can't click anything. It's been ruining my playthrough most of the time and I would like the developers to address this issue.”
  • music

    The game's music is consistently praised for being fitting, enjoyable, and enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate how the soundtrack complements the story and art, contributing to an engaging and emotionally touching atmosphere.

    • “The music is very fitting.”
    • “This game was really good; the music was cool and the story progress was amazing, though I didn't like the mini games because they are extremely hard.”
    • “This game is honestly really good, the pixel art is great, the music too, and the gameplay is also fun.”
    • “Like the music early, your game ends.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Despite being just another match 3 game, this takes that concept and elevates it to a humorously morbid level.”

    • “The 'heir of the company' ending had me laughing so hard.”
