What is a college life simulator?

College student life simulator

A college life simulator is a game about student life: classes, friends, dates, and first jobs. LifeSim lets you play a college student in a real city near a real campus. You make friends by talking in your own words, and they remember you.

How to play a college student in LifeSim

  1. Describe your student in the text box, for example "Sam, 19, a shy film student at NYU".

Questions

Do I take classes or exams in LifeSim?

No. There are no class or grade systems. Your studies are part of the story you write. The game is about people, places, and your days.

Is LifeSim like The Sims 4 Discover University?

Not quite. The Sims 4 has degrees and classes in a fictional town. LifeSim has no degree system, but it uses a real city and people you talk to in open text.

Can I make a friend group?

Yes. You can text people, start group text threads, and plan outings. Your friends remember what you did together.
