Our take on Life Inc.
Life Inc. departs from typical career or business games by combining personal finances, employment, property, markets, taxation and inheritance in one life-spanning structure. Progression continues through an heir rather than ending with a single character or company.
What is Life Inc.?
Begin at age 16 with €500 and no qualifications or assets, then manage monthly finances across 23 career paths.
Build income through employment, stock trading, six cryptocurrencies, rental property and a company that can become a holding group. Education, promotions, rent, taxes, loans and lifestyle expenses shape each decision. The game includes property renovation, tenant selection, employee management, pricing, suppliers, marketing, payroll and research. Choose a guided tutorial, freeplay sandbox or 11-chapter Story Mode. At year 50, review lifetime finances, write a will and pass capital, collections and objectives to an heir. The single-player simulator is in Early Access.
