- 📦Retrolife: Life Simulator version 1.0.4The world of Retrolife just got bigger and more accurate.
• 1,667 life stories — 141 more than before. Another 464 were rewritten, and 262 now fit the age, country and year more precisely: a six-year-old in the 1977 USSR queues for New Year mandarins only beside the grown-ups, and a home phone shows up only once homes really had one.
• Actions now have 276 outcomes, a third more, and events offer almost 3,500 choices.
• New actions: Go to the cinema and, in the USSR of 1965–1991, Hunt for scarce goods.
• Pay off a mortgage or a cooperative flat early from your savings — the button is on the Assets screen.
• If the year still has actions left, moving on asks first and takes you back to them in one tap.
• A baby is possible only while the mother-to-be is between 18 and 44.
• Pets get names typical of their country.
• Fixed: a blank line on the pet card in older saves.… more - 🆕Retrolife: Life Simulator released on the App Store

About Retrolife: Life Simulator
Be born in 1950, 1975 or 2010. Grow up in the USA, in West or East Germany, or in the Soviet Union, and live a whole life, one real year at a time.
Retrolife is a text life simulator set in the real decades of real countries. Every year brings that year's news, illustrated, and the small things people actually lived with: the first home computer, the cooperatives of the late Soviet years, the night the Berlin Wall came down.
A LIFE, YEAR BY YEAR
• Pick a country and a birth year from 1950 to 2010
• School, the army or alternative service, college or trade school, your first job, love, children, retirement
• 39 careers with real steps up the ladder
• Prices and wages in the money of the year: dollars, Deutsche Marks, East German marks, rubles, euros
• More than 1,400 life events with choices that change your health, happiness, money and the people around you
REAL HISTORY AS YOUR BACKDROP
• Real news of every year, with illustrations
• Historical turning points: the first man in space, the missile crisis, the Wall going up and coming down, the 1991 coup, the dot-com crash, the 2008 crisis. What they mean for you depends on how old you are
• Life does not stop at today: future eras run up to the 2060s
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR DYNASTY
• When you die, your heir carries the family on
• A family tree that grows across generations
• Echoes of the past: something from your childhood comes back decades later
GOALS, KEEPSAKES, FRIENDS
• Life goals and a challenge of the week
• A yearbook, a life chart, an album and a passport of eras
• A tear-off calendar with a page for every day you play
• "Live it better than me": share a life code and let a friend start the same life
• Postcards to share your story
• Music for every decade
FAIR AND OFFLINE
• Free to play: every country and every decade. Premium is a one-time purchase, no subscription
• No ads
• Plays fully offline, no account needed
• Premium adds: no waiting for more years, a choice of family wealth and character, rewinding a year, and the style of any era
Retro risograph-style illustrations. Play in English, German or Russian.
Rated 13+: romance, light crime, occasional alcohol and tobacco. History is shown through everyday life.
