4.8 out of 5, based on 54,561 reviews.
What people like
- Fun strategy game once you figure out the basics.
- Addictive feeling of building up from nothing.
- Decisions actually matter and affect your life path.
What they complain about
- You die before earning enough to start.
- Random events kill you without warning or reason.
- Prices are too high for a poor character.
- Game crashes if your debt gets too huge.
Very tricky game
You have to kind of figure out what’s important to you so actually every decision does matter
Have to pay the really do anything
Waste of time
Can't increase the number of items to sell bug
Even after purchasing the upgrade, there isn't an option to increase the number of items you can sell at once.
Have to Spend Money
Would be a really good game, but it is pretty much impossible survive past the age of 20 without spending money. The game also sneakily has offers that pop up randomly and you accidentally end up clicking on them, luckily my phone is set so that I have to review any purchases. Deleted as I won’t be spending any money on a mobile game
Looks Fun
This game was fun at first but I felt I was playing against odds. Others in the review say beg until you reach a certain amount of money but I could never make it over 200$ begging even with bus pass and puppy. I wanted to get to the stocks and education but every time I attempted I died lol. Maybe I missed something? But I had to uninstall.
Good
Challenging game

Great concept!
it’s addicting building yourself up from nothing
Economy index
Out of 6 lives, 4 of those my economy index was so messed up that it very very rarely went over 1%, which means any commercial property I bought, was costing me instead of making me money. I understand it’s part of the realism, but come on. Give it a little bit of a balance
Love this but… WARNING
This game is great. I love every part about it, all of the strategic choices that need to be made too. But I recently had a save where I was billions of dollars in debt, so I kept going though the days, because why not - I wanted to see what would happen 😂. Soooo… that ended up crashing the game. No matter what I do, whether it’s uninstalling, offloading, or restarting, nothing works. Could someone help it possible?

Dark mode
Bring back dark mode wtf
Pretty easy
Its pretty easy but people are very dumb. First, you keep clicking beg till you get 500$, then, study for you ged till you get 60% pass rate, then become a courier, then, you buy a buss pass and phone, then you get your ged, then you start flipping burgers. Skip real estate realtor, and get your bachelors immediately for sales rep, then immediately after, your masters for business rep, and then phd for researcher, then you just buy and flip businesses. And then you get to like a few dozen millions and then you quit. Takes about an hour to beat the game
Die: The Game
It’s a good interface and some simple gameplay, but it seems like the game just randomly deducts you money sometimes. Considering the daily cost is taken off from how much you earn (or at least that’s what I’ve seen) I don’t know why it sometimes fluctuates between going up and down. As well as this, it seems that the life expectancy means absolutely nothing and you die whenever the game feels like it. Even when you’re living a good life, you have about 5 years still, the game will just pop up with the message that you died. I don’t know if this is a game purely based on luck, but I’d like to think that all the values have some sort of meaning, you don’t even need to buy the gambling options to gamble in this game. I’m on probably my 17th life by now and the furthest I’ve gotten is when I was half a million in debt.
Need more work
I love a good adventure game, and I like the concept of this one, my only drawback is that this is a primarily visual game, not specifically designed for those who are totally blind like I am. It would be helpful if you created a soundtrack where those of us who are totally blind, get some kind of audio feedback to let us know that the choice we have selected has been activated, or a way for us to identify items more clearly from an audio perspective. I will be looking out to see if there are new any updates, because I would like to try this game again in the near future. Thank you.
Yes
Yes
Bad game
I got so much in debt (quadrillions) that the game crashed and won’t open ANYMORE. SO PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME.
Hard game
It’s improved over time
Games really faulty
Played this game several times and I enjoy it but one thing that really annoyed me is the unexpected amount of money that gets deducted from your account on the game and it doesn’t tell you why or if it’s tax
Here is HOW TO WIN
So I’m so happy I figured it out it took me about 30 attempts but I got it! None of the reviews from ppl explaining how to win really helped but one guy said try to keep you debt low and get your GED big help! Here’s how I did it I’m at $33,000 with a phd -study for ged ASAP before u start acquiring debt - DO NOT GO IN THE NEGATIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES it’s all about strategy and WATCHING YOUR LIFE SPAN if your a strategist u will get it! Good luck and have fun ❤️ -Update Y’all I deleted the game 😖 after I finally made it the game got boring the ppl who created the game didn’t add levels so it’s like once u get your GED and a job and start making money the game is a dud I had two businesses rented apartments got my own apartment got a tax expert mostly everything and it was just rinse and repeat it was nothing left to keep me playing u just making money at that point and that’s not fun I get bored easily so I’m off to find my next adventure
Yes
Yes
Money grab, essentially unplayable due to a glitch preventing progression, overall just full of bugs
I can’t get a job as any time I apply for fast food the game glitches and instead of letting me get the job or saying I got rejected, it says I lost 7 days of life expectancy. Even if I try 50 times, I just end up dying because it continues to do that. Among other annoyances, it also gives you endless pop-ups. The “don’t show again” is completely fake. Overall just another good idea ruined by greed.
Great game
It won’t let me sell more that one thing at a time In The market place, the quantity is stuck at one and won’t let me raise it. Other than that great game
Sets you up to fail (and have to buy from the store)
I thought this would be a fun challenge where strategy really mattered and you’d have to keep trying to get it. But it doesn’t matter what you do - the game will always find a way to end your life. You’ll get pop ups to buy extra lifespan. It would’ve been great otherwise. But it’s just another game where you can’t win if you don’t spend. Rather don’t make it free. I’ve had this on my phone for a few days and played constantly. The game has so much potential but the execution isn’t great. It’s completely random, even when you “spend days” to ensure better odds. At the same time, it seems to do negative things when you’re doing well. For example, if you buy a watch or moonshine in advance, suddenly the price drops. Or suddenly you won’t be selling houses - I went through 2 “promotions” without selling a single house. When you’ve got money for tax it doesn’t take it, but when your money is low it’ll suddenly take all your tax at once (not every 15 days as the game suggests). I wanted to like it, and had a few moments where I genuinely enjoyed it. But it’s rigged to make you pay real money, and it doesn’t make sense a lot of the time (it’ll say the market is dropped and it’s a good time to buy a house, but then the houses aren’t actually cheaper than usual). It also doesn’t have anything to safe guard your career process if you accidentally click on the other careers. Suddenly you’ll be hired every single time and your bar with be reset.
Developer unreachable, leaderboard bug
There is a leaderboard bug which makes all your hard work a waste of time, because your top score isn’t actually displayed. I contacted developer twice about this and no response. The age of hobo ingame is higher than the leaderboard one, meaning there’s a bug that limits the top score that you can share on the worldwide leaderboard, no matter how much work you put in to the game. I emailed the developer screenshots of the discrepancy, and it isn’t an update lag issue, since its been months.
Not bad
Not bad
Money Grab
Impossible to get anywhere without spending money. Lots of pop ups and annoying ads
Major glitch but super fun
I was loving this game and getting super rich but i decided just wth to buy a bunch of ads for graffiti jobs and the price kept skyrocketing until i was trillions in debt and i passed the integer limit on the game so it crashed and wouldn’t reopen… might want to set a limit on those suckers
Frustrating
This game is confusing and frustrating I can’t understand anything about it, how to buy, sell, the negatives and positives it just doesn’t make sense
Thoughts
Whilst I’ve come to like this game, there is no possible way to age past around 104 without paying. The prices for market items don’t change drastically often enough for people to enjoy flipping. That said bike parts I’ve never seen go any higher than 17$ and no lower than 3$. That goes for the housing and business market too no drastic inflations or crashes often enough, I spam button pressed 5 years and didn’t get a single one. Overall it’s a good game, but just needs some more randomisation.
GOOG
Good
awful game
pay to win hard to understand
Yes
Cool game
Meh
The game would be super good but I’ve spent an entire day dying before reaching 20. I have not been able to get past the age of 20 at all and it’s absolutely enraging. Nothing I do helps, I can’t earn enough money to do anything. I mostly just die after 1 year. I’ve done every possible method I can think of to try and get money so I can actually live but nothing works
Half decent, could be better
I don’t like the fact that when you are on the streets you virtually can’t make any money it’s almost like a gamble. this could be improved by making a thing where every month (in game) you get a random £50-£100 and you can increase the amount by “investing in the government” or something. I think this would improve the game and therefore make it more popular. I really hope you add this little detail it would improve the game by miles. -greymouse

Game makes no sense
I get this game is supposed to be similar to a “real situation” type game. But when I die before I can even beg for enough money to get a market membership is ridiculous. How am I supposed to do anything or get anything if I’m dying before i can even get a market membership to sell anything? And even if I can selling anything still makes me lose money even if the market is good. Overall terrible game don’t bother wasting your time downloading it
Game is good but..
All in game is really good, it just falls away like example the budgeting of outgoings once you advertise per example 3 clicks on it and your on a low pay job your money sinks and no way to cut off expenses once added .. other than that good game
Game just kills me for no reason
Good game except for the fact I keep on randomly dying I have plenty of money a house and another year for life expectancy then I just die with no explanation
take away the lifespan and dying at 20
Game is cool but i want to spend my life trying to make money
Good
Good
Prices
The in game prices per item are way to expensive for a homeless person and takes many many days to achieve one goal. While trying to achieve one goal your health and money go down. Why do I have to pay to use the market?
It’s fun
Super fun a bit confusing at first but easy playing once you’ve got the hang of it
Fun game
This is a fun game but very unpractical, I will be completely healthy and playing well then all of a sudden I die because of a massive tax bill that puts me in overdraft.. doesn’t make sense.. it then asks me to pay money to revive...
Decebr
Decent
tuff
tuff game
Not good
How in the hell are you supposed to get any further past the GED exam when you’re already losing money from the gecko every day on top of you need to eat so you start losing more money every day need money to take the exam and then you need days to study so when you use those days to study you take away from days from getting deducted every day and you end up dying every time either right after the exam or right before the exam so beats me
Amazing
Defo took a bit to get the hang of, me and my father both figuring out the best way to make money. Overall amazing. I’d like to see if get updated a lot more though. Maybe some new updates on more jobs, more things to buy, maybe even social media?
Need help.
I bought cash but it didnt show up. I dont know where to find the restore option in the game.
Has potential
Have tried and failed multiple times, but it’s just to darn difficult to get going! The time you’ve got to build any money up is to short, your dead before you’ve even done anything! 😭
