BitLife Online is a text-based life simulator that puts you in complete control of a virtual character from birth to death. Every year, you make choices that shape your trajectory—from studying hard in school and pursuing a prestigious career to turning to a life of crime. The game runs on a simple age-up mechanic where each interaction advances your life by one year, confronting you with random events, relationship dilemmas, and financial decisions.
A typical session moves quickly, allowing you to live out an entire lifetime in just a few minutes. You might start out as a royal in a foreign country, a struggling musician, or an ordinary citizen working a 9-to-5 job. Balancing your four main stats—Happiness, Health, Smarts, and Looks—is the core challenge as you navigate the unpredictable consequences of your actions.
Controls
The game is entirely menu-driven and relies on simple interactions:
- Mouse: Click the "+" age button to advance one year. Click the menu options at the bottom of the screen to access activities, jobs, assets, and relationships.
Tips
- Read books to boost smarts: If you are born with low intelligence, reading books and going to the library every year is the most reliable way to increase your Smarts stat.
- Maintain relationships: Spend time with your parents and siblings early on. Good relationships can lead to financial help and inheritances later in life.
- Start earning early: Take on freelance gigs or part-time jobs while in high school to build up savings before you have to pay for university or a house.
- Mind your health: Going to the gym and meditating regularly will keep your Health stat high, reducing the chances of an early, unexpected death.
