About


The theme of LD46 is Keep it alive.

Happy Life is all about keeping the fragile aspects of your life in balance. You want to keep your digital pet alive, but *at what cost*?

Everything could hinge on one stressful evening in this point-and-click life management sim.
Can you keep your happy life together for another day, or will it all come crashing down?

Pay attention to the important things and take it seriously, but don't forget to live a little!
