An idle life simulation that runs on its own clock. You start at 18 on the pavement and play until old age takes you, sixty in-game years later. Money arrives while time passes, not from clicking; what you actually do is decide. Take a street job, study for a credential, climb one of nine careers, and pay for the clothes, car and address each promotion demands. Bank the surplus, invest it, borrow against it, fill a home with a partner, children and a cat. Health slips faster after forty-five, and when the run ends everything you built becomes a head start for the next life.
How to play
Time is the engine. Set it to 1x, 2x or 3x and your wage accrues by the hour; press Stop whenever you want to think. Take any street job to start earning, then spend the years on decisions: enrol in a course to unlock the next rank, buy the outfit, car and address that rank demands, and move your savings into the bank or the market. Watch health and mood, because an empty meter halves what the day pays and age wears health down on its own after forty-five. Events interrupt the clock and wait for an answer. When the life ends, rebirth turns what you built into permanent bonuses for the next one.
Controls
Everything is a button or a tab. Stop, 1x, 2x and 3x set how fast the years run; 2x unlocks at level 5 and 3x costs one diamond a day. There is nothing to click for money.
Tips and strategy
- Don't let health or mood hit zero: each empty meter halves the day's pay, and both together cut it to a quarter.
- Studying for a course takes two paid work hours out of each day, so enroll when you can afford the short-term drop in income.
- A better car does more than add status: it adds paid hours to your workday, up to three extra hours with the top vehicle.
- Pay loans on time, because each missed payment costs fame, and five misses in a row trigger a default with a large fame and health hit.
- Build fame before gambling on event choices, since higher fame raises the success chance of risky options.
Life Tycoon FAQ
Does Life Tycoon keep running while I'm away?
Yes. When you return, the game credits the time away at normal speed, capped at 1,440 in-game hours, which is one in-game year. Events are skipped during that catch-up.
What carries over after rebirth in Life Tycoon?
Rebirth converts your life into legacy points based on net worth, fame and children. You spend them on permanent upgrades such as extra starting cash, better health, faster study and higher income, and each rebirth also grants 10 diamonds.
How long does a life last in Life Tycoon?
You start at 18, and old age ends the run at 78, sixty in-game years later. Age starts wearing health down after 45, faster each year.
Can I end a life early and rebirth in Life Tycoon?
Yes. Rebirth is available before the end of a life as long as it would bank at least one legacy point.
