How to play a spy in LifeSim

Describe your spy in the text box with a name, age, cover job, and real city.
Edit your cast to add a station chief, a suspicious neighbor, or a foreign informant.

Talk to your target in your own words to build trust and set daily to-do items for your tradecraft.

What a spy life looks like in LifeSim

Real intelligence work is about human relationships, not gunfights. In LifeSim, you play a Case Officer or Operations Officer who spots and recruits foreign contacts, called assets. There are no combat systems, weapons, or hacking mini-games. You talk to people in your own words to gather human intelligence, or HUMINT.

You can work under official cover as an embassy diplomat or non-official cover as a business consultant. Every person in your city has a job, a routine, and a journal of memories. As years pass, your character ages and can relocate to new cities like London, Berlin, or Moscow.

A day as a case officer in Vienna

Morning starts in Vienna, Austria, near the United Nations Office at Vienna. You check your daily to-do list: work your cover job, walk a Surveillance Detection Route, and meet an asset. You use place search to find a traditional coffeehouse and walk the real streets to get there.

At the cafe, you stage an accidental bump with an agency clerk and use elicitation in open text chat. Later, your asset texts you on their own to change the meeting spot to a park for a brush pass. The day ends with a recap of your moments and how your relationships changed.

A sample life: a cover audit in Geneva

Claire, 34, works in Geneva, Switzerland, under Non-Official Cover as an import-export consultant near the Palais des Nations. She edits her cast to add a local tax auditor who suspects discrepancies in her front company's shipping manifests.

On Tuesday, the auditor texts Claire to ask for a meeting at a cafe near Lake Geneva. Claire plans an outing there and talks in her own words to explain the paperwork without blowing her cover. The auditor remembers her answers in his journal and decides to drop the investigation.

Living a double life outside the mission

Real case officers cannot tell friends, neighbors, or extended family what they actually do. In LifeSim, this double life creates real tension with your partner and kids. If you skip a family dinner for a late-night meeting, your partner remembers and brings it up later.

You still need a normal life to keep your cover strong. You can join group text threads with coworkers and attend happenings on the map, like birthday drinks or house parties. Spending time with close colleagues helps you manage your health and relationships.

Prompts that work for a spy character

Write your name, age, cover job, real role, and city in the character text box. Try "Marcus, 31, a diplomat on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C., USA, who is secretly a case officer." Or write "Elena, 38, an art dealer in Berlin, Germany, working under non-official cover near the Tiergarten."

You can also start at the beginning of a career or near retirement. Try "Liam, 26, a new intelligence officer in London, United Kingdom, living near Vauxhall Cross." Once the life starts, edit your cast to add your station chief or a nervous foreign informant.

Questions

Can I use weapons, gadgets, or stealth combat?

No. LifeSim has no combat, weapons, hacking mini-games, or spy gadgets. You play the social side of intelligence by talking to people and keeping your cover.

Can I sneak inside embassies or secure rooms?

No. The 3D map shows real buildings from the outside only, with no interiors or rooms. You meet contacts outside at real parks, cafes, and streets.

What do real spies actually do on the job?

In intelligence agencies, spies are called Case Officers or Operations Officers. They do not break into buildings. Their main job is to spot, assess, and recruit foreign contacts, called assets, to gather human intelligence.

How do people become intelligence officers in the real world?

In the US, CIA officers need a bachelor's degree and a Top Secret clearance before training at Camp Peary. In the UK, MI6 officers pass Developed Vetting and train at Fort Monckton. In France, DGSE recruits need a Très Secret clearance and train at Boulevard Mortier in Paris.

Do informants remember what I tell them?

Yes. Each person keeps a journal of past events and uses recent memories when they talk to you. If you blow your cover or break a promise, they remember it.
