Your Life Simulator: life in one room

You are a lonely guy who never leaves his room, and the internet is your only window to the outside world. That is the setup of Your Life Simulator, an indie life sim with bittersweet humor that now runs right inside Telegram. 🖥️

It was made by Russian indie developer Mark Varlamov, who publishes as Tvorog. Before Telegram it came out on iOS and Android, then on Yandex's game platform, and it arrived in Telegram in January 2025. The game is primarily in Russian.

The core idea

The sim runs in real time. You juggle two needs at once: earn enough money to order food deliveries, and find enough entertainment to keep from going mad with loneliness.

• Work. Money is earned at the computer, online.
• Food. The fridge empties, and the hero cannot go shopping, so delivery is everything. 🍕
• Sanity. Work nonstop and the character starts losing it, so he needs fun.
• Balance. The real challenge is keeping every meter up at once.

Where it came from

Your Life Simulator grew out of the author's earlier game, Bitardia, a single-player action adventure about a hero who never leaves home, steeped in Russian imageboard culture. Bitardia entered early access in 2015, fully released in 2021 and later reached mobile.

That explains the familiar tone: irony about isolation, internet addiction and life within four walls. Funny at times, unexpectedly sad at others. 😅

Survival tips

1. Do not skip entertainment. Sanity drops quietly, then hits everything else hard.
2. Order food early. Delivery is not instant, and hunger grows in real time.
3. Keep a cash buffer. An unexpected expense without savings sends you into the red fast.
4. Careful with ad-based speedups. Players complained that in one version, watching an ad to speed up delivery could cost half your money. Check before tapping.

Purchases and referrals

The bot has /referral for inviting friends and /paysupport for payment questions. In-game purchases are optional, and you can play without them. If you pay, make sure you know what you are buying. 💳

What is next

The developer announced Your Life Simulator 2, a larger sequel promising what players asked for: going outside, an office job, a kitchen with cooking, social interaction, a female character and more. News appears on the author's Telegram channel and blog.

Who will enjoy it

Fans of life sims and resource management, people who appreciate indie games with a personal voice and irony, and anyone curious to watch a life that looks suspiciously like their own weekend. 🛋️
