I've been receiving this notification popping up on my phone. I couldn't help but wonder, who could've missed me that much? π€£ But then, I saw the name, it was none other than BitLife!
Funny thing is, my partner had mentioned this game to me before. I tried it out but didn't play for very long. Maybe because it's all words and no fancy graphics. I'm more of a visual person.
Then, out of the blue, we brought up the topic again and I thought to myself, why not give it another try?
I found myself hitting that install button once again, and after a few taps, I was hooked!
When I started playing BitLife, this is what my life looked like. I was happy, healthy, and clever... but sadly, I'm rather unattractive π
My initial reaction? I burst out laughing and got curious. Would my looks hinder the way I want to live my life?
Well, turns out it did! My character in BitLife was in a difficult situation, struggling to make friends because of her looks βΉοΈ It's amusing how BitLife mirrors life in these aspects.
And it got me thinking, wouldn't it be interesting if we had our own stats like this in real life?
Bitlife, if you haven't heard of it yet, is a life simulation game where you begin as a random character and progress through different stages of life, encountering various challenges.
What makes it exciting is the ability to make life-changing decisions, just like in real life.
Start a new life! π±
Here in BitLife, you have the freedom to choose your name, gender, country, and place. That's where gets life interesting because the choices you make heavily influenced your life. That's the reason why I'm lovin' this game.
Baby steps πΆπΌ
In BitLife, you get to read your own conception story, which I think is pretty hilarious and realistic at the same time!

I've been Lola Sanchez, from Spain, and conceived in the bathroom of a club. Classy, eh? π€£ Then there's Chloe Clarendon, from Australia, the planned one. The absolute winner? Nanami Ohtani, conceived on a washing machine while the machine was on the spin cycle π
It makes me wonder, how would our own stories play out if we knew these details in real life? That would be my conversation starter! So tell me how you were brought into this world π€£
Education π§πΌβπ
Just like in real life, the character in Bitlife also goes to school, gain friends, and study (well, that's up to you!).
When it's time for university, you got to choose the major and how you'd pay for it. Thankfully, the lives I've lived had the parental backup for tuition. No student loans for me π
Health π₯
Characters can also catch all sorts of diseases, just like us. My character once had high blood pressure at the age of 8! Imagine that!
You can either go to the doctor for help or try alternative medicine. You can even consult witches to get better. Life in BitLife is fun that way!
Relationships π
The freedom to live life on your own terms, be it marriage, same-sex or not, or simply dating, it's up to you!
 |  |  |
|---|
You even get to check out your potential dates' happiness levels, health, looks, and brains. Guess what? They're also up-to-date because you can find dates through dating apps!
And let's talk about weddings! I picked Cebu for mine once.
If you feel like when all else fails, you can apparently pray to the devs! My character did that when life got rough π
Death πͺ¦
I really enjoyed the way the epitaphs were written.
 |  |  |
|---|
You'll see your net worth, where you lived, your career, education, kids, and lovers. Oh, and how people remembered you, that's another funny thing! Mine was once described as 'a questionable decision maker' π
There's also a bar for your overall happiness and your karma. To increase your karma's bar, make good choices. It's like the universe is taking notes on your life decisions.
Living different lives is my kind of fun! I enjoy experiencing life from various perspectives. BitLife lets me do that, and I must say I could play it all day!
Currently, I'm Julien Blanc from Haiti. I wonder what sort of adventure this life holds. I'll find out and let you know next time π
'Til my next gaming blog!

Kind of reminds me of the Black Mirror episode Nosedive. π People can see your profile, status, compatibility, etc.
!PIZZA
TRUUU hahaha
Yaaas, the one with the stars and ratings π
Nakita ko na 'to dati pero 'di ko na-try kasi I find it funny from the description. Pero mukang interesting siya sa blog mo so since bored ako, download ko siya HAHAHAHA
Hahahaha time to try this na, Lau! It's funny nga kaya na-hook ako π
Let us know what kind of life you're living din π
Bigla na lang akong namatay hahaha
HAHHAHAA eyy, you lived a mediocre life!
Try mo ulit and use the surprise me option π
Hahaha nakakatuwa nga din siyang laruin. 40+ na yata bago nagkaasawa diyan π
Kakasawa lang ads hahaha
Hahahaha ang tanda na!
Play it offline, fewer ads π
Oooh BitLife! I remember downloading this and then not coming back to it after some minutes of gameplay... Pero nakakatawa yung mga descriptions now that I read through this. π
Pass HAHAHA baka mas maging picky ako with people and I might end up grinding all my life if my stats are shit huhu
A similar mobile game that got me going for a time was Life is a Game, it's more on the visual side and less on text. And it has a faster game time. Give it a spin, maybe~
That happened to me too π It made me think that games, just like books, are meant to be enjoyed at a particular time in our lives hahaha charot
I can relate! my character did it once, para tumaas yung percentage ng looks, nagpa-plastic surgery, lalo lang bumaba ππ
I'll give that game a look! Thanks for the recommendation β¨

This game is a real comedy and looks like a lot of fun. There are a lot of details, from the story of people getting pregnant to the tombstones written after they die. If it's free, I will try it right away.
It's indeed fun, with a touch of reality. The more you play, the more you'll encounter epic scenarios.
Try it, it's free! It's available on Google Play Store & Apple App Store π
!PIZZA
What game is this hahaha this looks really fun and comedic :D
It's a game where you go through different lives, briefly! π
All the fun and humour fade away when you realize your character is dealing with a chronic illness π€£π
How funny the stats were. Heheh. I could not imagine if it happens in reality of struggling to make friends because of the looks and appearance. Haha! What a cool game it is Cee! Totally opposite of your life in the real world.
Sometimes it's not just the looks π€£
I agree, this game's awesome π !LUV it

This is the first time Iβve heard of this game LOL how they trigger you just to get back to the game π€£ life simulations are so fun cos you can make decisions without having to face the consequences in real life.
βYou are suffering from high blood pressureβ
βOKβ
hahahah how I wish that would be our reaction in real life.
AHHH YES!
HAHAHAHAHAH how I wish, too!
There are more funny scenarios in the game π€£ esp when u pick silly decisions π
