Peru life simulator

Daily life in Peru centers on multi-generational family households, a 48-hour workweek, and a big midday lunch called almuerzo. People get around by long-distance buses between cities and ride small vans called combis or three-wheeled mototaxis inside towns. A life here can be a student in coastal Lima, a tour guide in Cusco, or a captain in Iquitos.

Several action and puzzle games take place in Peru. Tunche is a 2D beat-em-up game set in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. Imp of the Sun is a 2D action-platformer that crosses Peru's deserts, mountains, and jungles.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider and the classic Tomb Raider games let you explore ancient ruins and jungle towns. If you want combat, platforming, or folklore puzzles, those games do it well. LifeSim has no combat or puzzles, and instead lets you live a daily life on a real 3D map.

Mateo, 17, moves to Lima to live with his aunt and study for the San Marcos University entrance exam. He edits his cast to add his aunt and sets a life goal to pass his test. Each morning, he searches the 3D map for his academia preuniversitaria and walks there.

In the afternoon, a classmate texts Mateo to plan an outing to a local restaurant for lunch. On Saturday, a birthday party happening appears on the map, and Mateo goes with his new friends. Each day ends with a recap, and his friends remember their study sessions.

The Peruvian school year runs from March to December, and secondary school ends at age 16. Many graduates attend cram schools called academias preuniversitarias to prepare for admission exams at universities like San Marcos or PUCP. You can write this student routine into your character text.

The legal workweek is up to 48 hours, and common industries include Andean mining, coastal fishing, agro-exports, and tourism. Mining workers often work 14 days at a remote camp followed by 7 days off at home. LifeSim has no salary or career ladder, so your job shapes your daily chats and goals.

Since you talk to people in your own words with no dialogue menus, you can use Peruvian slang. Call your friend causa or pata, call your job chamba, and call your house jato. If something is cool, say bacán or chévere, and say al toque to mean right away.

You can also bring local customs into your group outings and conversations. At social gatherings, friends often share a single small glass and pass around one large bottle of chela, or beer. On July 28 and 29, you can celebrate Fiestas Patrias with your multi-generational family.

You can search the map for real restaurants and invite friends on an outing. Daytime cevicherías serve ceviche, which is raw fish cured in lime juice with sweet potato and choclo corn. Neighborhood chifas serve Peruvian-Chinese wok dishes like arroz chaufa, and pollerías serve rotisserie chicken called pollo a la brasa.

For a weekday lunch, locals visit restaurantes de menú for a fixed-price meal with chicha morada, a purple corn drink. At night, you can walk to a street market for anticuchos, which are grilled beef heart skewers, or drink warm emoliente.
