BitLife is a text-based life simulation game where you control a character from birth to death, making choices year by year that shape their personality, success, relationships, and overall life path. At the start, your character is randomly generated with specific stats such as health, happiness, smarts, and looks. As you age up, you make decisions about how to behave in school, how to treat family members, whether to study hard or slack off, and how to respond to random life events.

As your character becomes a teenager and then an adult, the gameplay expands significantly. You can choose to attend university, go to medical or law school, start working immediately, join the military, or even pursue unconventional paths like crime or social media fame. Career progression depends on your education, performance, and sometimes luck. Managing finances becomes important as you deal with salaries, taxes, property purchases, and unexpected expenses.

Relationships are another major part of the gameplay. You can date, marry, have children, maintain friendships, deal with arguments, and even handle betrayal or divorce. Your decisions influence how others perceive you and can affect your happiness and long-term outcomes. There are also opportunities to become famous, enter politics, start businesses, or live a completely chaotic life full of risky choices.

Because each life is filled with random events, both positive and negative, no two playthroughs are exactly the same. The combination of strategy, luck, and moral decision-making makes the game highly replayable. When playing BitLife, do you prefer to carefully plan every decision for maximum success, or do you enjoy making unpredictable choices just to see what happens?
