Life Simulator puts you in the role of a college graduate navigating four years in a big city, where your choices shape whether you accumulate wealth and relationships or end up with nothing. The game plays as a narrative-driven life sim in the vein of Alter Ego, with branching decisions affecting your career, romance, and personal outcomes. It appeals to players seeking a low-pressure life progression game, though be aware the English translation has significant issues that may impact your experience.

thought it would be similar to the game Chinese Parents. I only bought it because English translation was available. It would have been a decent game if the translation was fine. To be blunt, the translation is so sloppy to the point that the game is almost unplayable.
I'll be honest when I first played this I found it to be a nice little time passer. I was able to look past the hit and miss translation as you could usually get the jist of the conversation anyway. However that being said the game suffers for some pretty major problems if you're playing the game in English:
- The game freezes when trying to meet the first friend at the Restaurant when playing as the female lead character. (This has been reported numerous times with the reply typically being that it is fixed, even though the bug iiis still in the game)
- The game randomly freezes when socialising with friends as the male character. This can usually be resolved by not talking to that character during that round/month but can be an issue for building affinity.
- As a person who likes to get all the achievements in games it kind of sucks that some of these appear to be broken and do not unlock when conditions are met. From google translate I managed to identify these as at least being: - Reach 100 affinity with all girls as a male character is a single playthrough - Destroy 4500 business plans (Minigame, achievement doesn't track progress and just sits at 0) - Unlock all stories
This problem may also be on the female character route, but in English it doesn't work so I'm unable to look into it.
tl;dr - Translations pretty bad, Female character route broken (English ver.), some achievements don't work.
I'm coming at the review from having played it before and after the multilingual client was released. So far it feels like a modern take on Alter Ego, even if it differs in the presentation.
The sound isn't grating on the nerves, but it works without having anything memorable. The graphics also have their own style which I do like so far.
Some of the trouble I've had were mainly bugs and awkward dialogue. Not bad enough to make me give up on the game, but enough to give someone a heads up.
The game has become a lot more playable after the addition of English to the client. To be honest there are bugs and errors which I expected. There are sections where the text is rather awkward during the dialogue. Given there are sections of the game that are still untranslated or awkwardly localized, it's still playable to the point where advancing will take some time.
I would say give it a chance, as it likely still has a lot of work to be done.
