I'm actually dealing with a lot of issues. Being scared of getting sick so you don't lose days at work is such a real fear when you can't get savings! Thank you for showing this real type of living people actually have to deal with every day
One of the best games I've ever played in my browser. Kudos to Camila Gormaz for making this game both engaging and a learning experience. People who are poor have to unwillingly take hard decisions, as for them, every penny matters.
Btw I got past the month without asking for a loan, with 0.370 and health at 20%
I doubt if I'll survive the next month with $385 in hand
me encanto, tengo 14 años y vivo en Chile, y aunque todavía este muy lejos de vivir esta vida siempre me ha asustado algún día independizarme y tener que sufrir una vida mediocre viviendo con el sueldo mínimo, si este simulador representa bien lo que quiere representar, valga la redundancia, es muy bonito, los gráficos no llegan a ser realistas porque no intentan serlo, pero fueron bastante bonitos para mi, y no es un estilo tampoco muy tierno y subreal, no sabría explicar como estos gráficos me parecieron encajar perfectamente con la ambientación y la trama del juego, no tengo mas palabras para explicar todo lo que lleva el juego, gracias por esto
Creo que si este juego no llegara hasta fin de mes y estuviera para movil seria muy popular, ademas aun que es un videojuego critica siempre es bueno recordar que es un juego y poner algunos parametros para que puedas ir ganando dinero de alguna forma o poder ascender en el trabajo, algun objetivo de recompezan para el jugador estaria bien.
Un muy buen intento de simulador de desigualdad, lastimosamente a medida que iba jugando pude notar como gran parte de los datos financieros estaban bastante lejos de ser realistas, como el precio de las UF. el tema cae y salud también dejan que desear debido a que el cae no se explica de forma correcta y la salud mental de una persona no depende netamente de sus relaciones sociales. si vemos este juego como una Alpha sin duda es un 10/10.
In the game, I finished the month with $179.370 and my health is at 40%. As someone who lives in a country poorer than Chile and has always tried not to splurge in real life, I felt like maybe I could have done better. But perhaps it was just me.
Anyways, this game was awesome because it demonstrated how poverty forces people to get stuck in a vicious cycle where they have to worry about their expenses every day. I empathize with Chileans (even though my country is poorer and less stable than Chile) and I hope positive change happens there soon.
interesante juego pero falta precisión por ejemplo el tema del cae esta mal sacado y seria genial poder jugar unos 6 meses, lo de la salud tampoco esta muy bien calculado, bueno como digo un juego interesante pero le falta mas desarrollo, exito.
También seria interesante poder vivir con un compañero para hacerlo mas realista.
Often, visual novels are stressful because they are about making choices that you don't know what the outcome will be, but in this case, the stress was the point of the game, so it worked really well.
This is a great example of a game, that makes people feel something and makes people think, and it did it with these great little sets. Your other game, Long Gone Days, is visually amazing with these huge sets, and it's beautiful, so it's amazing to see that you are able to convey a game world with such smaller sets too. That's masterful.
Este juego es increíble, me recordó muchísimo a mi mamá: trabajando el día entero en un call center, teniendo que pedir prestamos al banco para comprar comida, los despidos sin ningún motivo. Y todo eso teniendo una carrera. Realmente es un ciclo casi imposible de escapar.
This game shows very effectively how poverty is a cycle, and how even the most basic of necessities and kindnesses become a stressful burden when you have so little to work with. Poor people have to work ten times harder than middle class or higher people to make ends meet. I think the only part missing here is the problem of having to buy cheap appliances/clothes/shoes etc only for them to break faster and needing replacing faster, thus ending up being more expensive. Other than that, I think you covered all aspects of poverty and minimum wage life very well. Fantastic job.
I picked the long hair sprite (presumably implies girl) in the selection but the next slide (i don't know better term to use atm, sorry) it shows the male sprite sitting in the room. It fixes itself in the next slide, now showing the girl sprite. See 3 photos attached, in order.

This is literally what is like to be live (born and raised) and work in a third-world country. I've experience this kind of life, being a corporate slave. Oh and, they expect you won't be burned out at all.

I played giving her a good life, i ended up with 174.920 money and 100% happiness

very nice
Cruel, realistico.
Rough, similar to how it goes in Romania.
me salió en un vídeo de tiktok como recomendación, está bacan, felicidades por el desarrollo y gracias por ofrecerlo
thanks for game, this one is really brutal like irl stuff.
Your game is cruel (like reality itself), I like it.
Very relatable tbh. Loved it and will try to support more. Keep up the great work
Keep The Good Work.

I got through without getting the loan at 1.970 and 00% health, I'll probably be fine

This game hit a little too close to home and made me cry. Thank you for making it!
Good game not gonna lie it really shows how the world goes

Muchísimas gracias por jugarlo y por tus bonitas palabras! Tengo fé de que para ese entonces la calidad de vida en Chile va a ser un poco mejor!

I did surprisingly well
esta muy bueno el juego deberia tener mas apoyo :)

hope it work well, i try to ignore the problems often so i just dont think about that, anyways good luck...
Este juego se ha vuelto muy relevante en estos días.
Muy buen juego! Suerte con tus proyectos, este es hermoso, y el arte sublime!
This is a great use of the Visual Novel format.

I paid the rent and was still forced to take a loan at the end of the month to pay it again?!
Este juego es increíble, me recordó muchísimo a mi mamá: trabajando el día entero en un call center, teniendo que pedir prestamos al banco para comprar comida, los despidos sin ningún motivo. Y todo eso teniendo una carrera. Realmente es un ciclo casi imposible de escapar.
Me encantó! Habrán más días disponibles próximamente?
hola saludos desde chile :) (
how do you play? im confused rn :((
you click on the phrases in red, and u will be able to choose when there are 2
This is a really cool game! The art is so cute and helped offset how stressed I was the entire time.
Can you release Download Edition?

Thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm glad to read you liked it!

Ooh, thanks for letting me know! I'll fix it right away!
Edit: It's been fixed now (you might need to clean your cache to see the change, though). Thanks for your help, once again!
Fue una experiencia muy interesante y te felicito por haber hecho un juego que tocara este tema.
No me fue nada bien, me vi obligado a tomar el crédito para poder pagar el arriendo... una desgracia.
Hubo un par de decisiones que el juego tomó por mí y eché de menos el no poder haber hecho otra cosa (como no comprar un plan para el celular), pero también es cierto que hace parte de la narrativa.
Visualmente es hermoso, y me sorprendió ver que estuviera hecho con Twine (o eso parece).
Mucho muy bueno. Gracias por desarrollarlo y compartirlo.
Where can I play this?
Me engañaron, esto no es un juego, esto es un documental interactivo.Excelente documental interactivo. La historia es lo importante aquí, no la jugabilidad. esto merece un 10/10, sólo por que yo hubiera elegido un paquete de datos y llamadas menor, pero no lo permite.This.
