BitLife is a life simulation game where you control a character and guide them through life. You start as a baby and make choices as your character grows older. You can go to school, find a job, make friends, fall in love, get married, have children, buy homes, and build a career. Every choice can change what happens next, so each life can turn out in a different way.

Start Your Life

Your journey begins at birth. You can choose details such as your character’s name and birthplace. Each time you move forward, your character gets one year older. New stages of life bring new choices and events.

During childhood, you can focus on school, family, and activities. When you become an adult, more options become available. You may go to college, learn special skills, join the military, or start working. Your choices can help shape your future.

Manage Your Main Stats

Your character has four important life stats:

  • Happiness: Shows how happy your character feels.
  • Health: Shows your character’s physical condition. If it reaches zero, the character can die.
  • Smarts: Helps with school, jobs, and some important choices.
  • Looks: Can affect dating, relationships, and social life.

Different actions can raise or lower these stats. Keeping them in good shape can help your character enjoy a better life.

Build Relationships

Family and social connections are an important part of your virtual life. You can spend time with parents, siblings, friends, partners, children, and coworkers. Your actions can affect these relationships.

Dating can lead to marriage and children, while poor choices may cause relationships to become difficult. Taking care of your relationships can make your character’s life more enjoyable.

Take Care of Pets and Money

Pets can also become part of your character’s story. Looking after them adds another activity to your virtual life. Money is another key part of the game. You can earn income from your job and use it to buy property, cars, and other assets. Saving money and making smart financial choices can help your character build wealth over time.

What Happens After Death?

Every life eventually comes to an end. Your character may die from old age or when their health becomes too low. After death, you can look back at the completed life and see what happened.

You may also begin a new life or continue the story through one of your children. This lets you try new choices and create a different outcome.
