BitLife – Life Simulator is a deep text-based simulation where your decisions shape the story. You experience a full life journey—from the very first breath to old age—personally defining your character’s personality and destiny.
Gameplay
The game is built around turn-based actions and text-driven events. Each “year of life” presents a set of random situations and choices that affect key attributes: health, happiness, intelligence, and appearance. These stats unlock different careers, relationships, and life paths.
- Complete freedom: Become a devoted family person, build a successful career, risk everything for criminal fame, or dive into reckless adventures.
- High replay value: Random events and the long-term consequences of past decisions make every playthrough unique.
- Challenges: Additional modes offer unconventional goals and scenarios for experienced players.
Accessibility
Accessibility varies significantly depending on the platform:
- iOS: The game is well adapted for VoiceOver. The screen reader correctly announces all interface elements, buttons are clearly labeled, and navigation is logical and comfortable. The game can be played fully without visual control.
- Android and web version: Accessibility remains limited. Screen reader support is incomplete, which significantly complicates navigation and interaction with game elements.
BitLife is a great choice if you are looking for a slow-paced, ironic, and highly variable experience. Reaction speed does not matter here—the focus is on reflection, experimentation, and observing how a single choice can completely change the course of a life.
