Games like AltLife & InstLife

84 games · every one verified from its listing · updated Sep 7, 2026

InstLife started it and has since faded from the stores; AltLife carried it on — the life sim as a stack of choices, stats and random events, no graphics between you and the story. These are the text-first life simulators in our catalogue: born, schooled, hired, married, gone, all in menus. Monetisation is verified on every card, because a text game has no excuse for a loot box.
