About This Game
Our game is a lighthearted, ironic text-based life simulator and RPG with resource management elements, wrapped in a minimalist 2D neon visual style. The story follows an ordinary female college student navigating everyday dilemmas, a fixed work schedule, and an interactive calendar packed with hidden random events. The player's core task is to read through the narrative and make choices using dynamic cards, trying to maintain a delicate balance across four interconnected scales: Money, Energy, Health, and Happiness. Designed as an interactive tool for youth mental decompression, the project uses humor to teach strategic planning under uncertainty and holds great potential for future scaling to feature stories from other generations.
