About BitLife
Live an entire procedurally generated life — choices, careers, crimes, families.
BitLife is a text-based life simulator where a full character story plays out through choices. You begin as a baby with randomized starting conditions, then age year by year through family events, school, friendships, relationships, jobs, money decisions, health problems, crime, fame, marriage, children, and retirement. Instead of controlling a 3D avatar, you make menu choices and read the consequences, which makes the game feel like a branching roleplay story with statistics underneath. The fun comes from how flexible each life can be. You can study hard, go to university, build a career, marry, raise a family, and try to live past 100. Or you can choose chaos: drop out, gamble, steal cars, join criminal paths, start drama, or chase fame through risky decisions. Core stats such as happiness, health, smarts, and looks shape what options are easier, while money and relationships create long-term consequences. BitLife works because it gives short choices real momentum. One small decision can change a career, damage a family relationship, or turn an ordinary life into a story worth replaying.
BitLife sits in our casual games lineup. Easy-to-learn games for any break.

How to play BitLife
Click or tap menu choices, then press the Age button to move forward one year. Manage health, happiness, smarts, looks, money, school, work, relationships, and risky decisions.
- Start a new life and read your character's country, family, and starting stats.
- Press the Age button to advance one year at a time.
- Use school, activities, relationships, job, assets, and crime menus to choose what your character does each year.
- Watch the main stats: happiness, health, smarts, and looks. Low stats can limit opportunities or create problems.
- Study, visit doctors, spend time with family, work, date, or take risks depending on the life path you want.
- Respond to random events carefully; many choices have consequences years later.
- When a life ends, review the outcome and start a new run with a different goal.
Tips for BitLife
- Do not spam the Age button. Check school, health, relationships, and job options before advancing each year.
- High smarts make education and career paths easier, so study hard early if you want professional jobs.
- Health and happiness support long lives. Use doctors, gym, meditation, vacations, or family time when those bars fall.
- Crime can make fast money but creates prison and reputation risks that may block normal careers later.
- Keep relationship bars high before asking for marriage, money, help, or family support.
- Part-time jobs and freelance gigs are useful before adulthood if you need money without derailing school.
- Pick a goal for each life, such as fame, wealth, crime, long life, or perfect stats; random choices create messy outcomes.
