Bitlife

BitLife, created by Candywriter LLC., is a popular text-based life simulation game where players live out virtual characters’ entire lives and make choices that shape their destiny. Press “New life,” start a random character’s life, and manage major stats: happiness, health, smarts, and looks. There are no fixed goals; just make decisions on different aspects of life and see how they shape the future.

How to Play BitLife

Gameplay and objective

You always begin a new life as a newborn and age up one year at a time. Each year, new choices and events appear, and you have to decide your future based on the decisions you select. Like in real life, your character eventually grows into different stages of life, from child to adult and elderly. The game ends when your character dies, and you can review your life summary.

Start a new life and make choices

Starting as a newborn character with a random family background, you make choices each year in almost every aspect, like study, work, relationships, career, hobbies, and other major life decisions. Those choices, of course, affect your stats and future opportunities. In other words, your life unfolds based on your decisions.

Manage Core Stats

These key stats affect the gameplay and your character’s density and future in different ways:

  • Health: Affects lifespan
  • Happiness: Impacts overall life quality
  • Smarts: Helps in school and careers
  • Looks: Influences relationships and fame

To succeed, stay healthy, and live a long life, it’s a must to maintain these stats.
