An addicting game, especially to the life-sim fans. This one is a keeper.

You start this game as a baby, a girl or a boy (your choice), and you start making decisions on your life even before you leave the womb (your first question is if you want to come out now or wait, which could result in a happy birth or a C-Section!)

After you are born you get a tree of scenarios that are divided into categories depending on your age such as health (more common earlier on and when you're getting old), love (teenage years to middle age more common), job, school, etc. and your character eventually psychologically develops depending on what choices you make for him/her, your family could gain trust for you and back you up on later scenarios if you start making good choices, or you could end up dead at an earlier age because you talked to strangers instead of running home and telling the cops. It is definitely a game you would have to play more than once to fully enjoy it.

Some of the scenarios are pretty funny, such as the young woman that you can pick up when you are a middle-aged man that results in you just being a booty call!

Overall, for a very old game like this, I give it a 8.5/10 due to its addictive gameplay, this is definitely a game worth checking out, also it's abandonware/remade on a website so it's pretty much free.
