Have you ever played The Sims, and thought to yourself, "This game would be so much better if they removed all the graphics, and made everything text"? Me neither! That's why I made Life Simulator 9000 instead! It's the life simulator you never knew you wanted! And once you're done playing? You still won't know you wanted it.

Simulate your life today!

Ha! I greatly enjoyed the simple humor in your game. I got to be an emu and a cow and a jackass (of course) and so much more. You succeeded in putting a smile on my face with such a simple concept.

I lost it when I was an owl and "pooped out a mouse skeleton". This was amazing - I'm sad you only got 28 hours on this one, I think you'd have an even better job on your hands. I really liked the humor, it was the first game that made me literally laugh out loud. Where were you when I was writing my dialogue? XD

Haha love the humor in this game, was quite enjoyable seeing what descriptions you had for the different animals. Shows that you don't need fancy graphics to have fun!!

Love it! Hahah I was half expecting that Jackass was the type of human I was going to be but I finally beat snark sim 9000!

Nice humor! The comedic timing of the lines really helped.

Silly fun little game.

Fun idea with major potential for expansion. A great example of readable text, which some text games still get wrong.

Not too much of a game but it was funny.

That's quite an experience ! It's pretty simple but pretty interesting and funny. The text is cut out sometimes, but overall I liked it a lot, good job !

Really funny game (would r8 8/8 if I could m8)! I loved the humor this game emits. I finally became human again, but I tried to find any easter eggs, without success. Are there any?

@Number6406 I didn't have any extra time for easter eggs, sorry. Glad you liked it though!
