What is Dream City: Life Events?
Dream City: Life Events is a text based turn based character simulation game of which you take a role of 18 years old woman and try to shape her life over the next 22 years in the game. You control almost every aspect of her life in term of job, lifestyle, activities and even relationship.
You can shape her to become a successful corporate player driving on luxury car living on expensive condominium or you can shape her to become a catwalk model who likes to shop at boutique and frequent dance club in the evening to relieve some stress. But remember this fact - almost anything you do in this game has its own consequences. Although business manager earns her a lot of money, it comes with high stress liability. Having a high stress over long period of time can get her into health risk. You have been warned!
The game is turn based of which each turn takes about a month. At the end of the month, she will chronicle any major event related to her that happen in the month. This usually mean getting a new job or getting promoted, changing her lifestyle, doing new activity, changes in relationship and many other stuff. It almost like reading a diary with the exception that the diary is monthly based instead of daily based.
The major highlight of the game is there are plenty of random events that she will face that somehow affect her life. For instance, she might stumble upon a diamond ring while doing some jog in the park. If she is greedy, she might take it and sell it. Otherwise if she is nice, she might hand it over to the police. There are plenty of elements like this in the game.
The game also features an interesting concept called karma. Whenever your character perform a good deed, her karma will increase and vice versa. Keep a high karma and there could be high chance your character will be rewarded with something in which case your karma will be exchanged for the reward. Having a high karma also will prevent you from ending up in trouble or disaster as some of your karma will be exchanged with the trouble or disaster.
Yes, this game revolves around morality. Everyday we face this kind of situation. Think karma as some sort of moral currency. The more karma you earn, the more good reward you can exchange or more trouble/disaster you can prevent in the future.
Current Development
The game right now is in development but you can play the game from this website to play it to give general idea on how the game works. I intend to release the game as a freeware so you don't have to pay anything to enjoy this game. All I'm asking is you give me feedback and suggestion on how to improve the game.
