The Hilariously Unexpected Moments You’ll Only Find in BitLife
BitLife is not only a life simulator, but also a creator of pure, unadulterated silliness. While you may try for a stable job and loving family, the game loves to throw you curveballs that will leave you both confused and laughing. It’s in those strange, unplanned moments that BitLife really stands out.
You’re one minute a rising pop sensation, and the next, you’ve been arrested for stealing from a blind guy (who somehow “saw” you do it). Or maybe you’re working your way steadily up the corporate ladder only to have your totally normal housecat kill your kid on the spot and result in you getting a murder conviction and losing your rising career. The utter randomness of these incidents is at the heart of BitLife’s appeal.
Aside from the death-of-wild-a-cheer (dying by dove assault or mortar bomb on the way to school, anyone?) itself, the relationships are a comedic goldmine of drama. You may be seeing a bully who becomes your husband, who cheats on you, gets forgiven, and then gets killed within the same year. Or, picture having a child and then the game telling you that they were turned over for adoption because they “smelled too bad.”
And then there are the downright astonishing possibilities: insulting a child of five only for them to assault you with a guided missile (and miss, blessedly), or maintaining a government-hating cult while also being the President of America. These are not story points you’d ever encounter in your typical simulation game.
BitLife survives on these absurdly unforeseen moments, demonstrating that in a text-based game, life is stranger—funnier than fiction. That’s why we return again and again, hoping to see what further level of lovely mayhem the next generation will deliver.
