Depressingly realistic
The game itself is very good in its concept and size. As with real life you spend a certain amount every day just to survive, and the charity of passersby will vary from astonishing to abysmal. And there is a chance to improve your life by degrees. You start with a death timer which gives you about three years to live, and failing to keep up with expenses shortens the deadline while improving your conditions (thus also increasing your expenses) will add to the time remaining. That said, it seems is near impossible to succeed without spending real money on in app purchases. This plus my frustration with the game mechanics in trying to earn a living is the reason why it has not scored higher.
