Timer/calendar goes forever (at one point it told me it was the 60th of August, and debt doesn't get paid off when I spend my money, but my money gets subtracted. Would be a really cool game if it worked.

Life and Debt from the twitch streamer Krassenstein is really well done, I very much enjoy this game, and while it has a few random moments of minor visual bugs, it didn't detract from what it was, a simulation of buying items and managing debt, if you want to tackle random events and all the evil chances of getting a 25k copy right debt from some random musical company! Seriously if you want to take and spend an hour once in awhile on a siumulation this is it, I find this to be exciting, engaging and the music I never turned off because it went so well with the game! I give this indie game a years bonus, out of 10.

Out of the very few features, half of them serve no purpose (lotto, being able to walk through your house) while the other half is desperately underdeveloper. Overall there is very little strategy involved. You get randomly fired and slapped with $10,000 debt events. This is a work in progress not worth $5.

This game has the same addiction level as games like Cookie Clicker however it is quite a challenge in order to complete. I played on Normal difficulty, thought I was doing really well and all of a sudden my debt caught up with me and I lost. I'll try again on other difficulties but the entire time I was playing it had my complete attention.

After playing this game for about 3 and a half hours and beating Easy mode I can say it gets pretty intense at the end. There is real strategy to it. I loved all the random events and the fact that some of it relates to real life and some is very humorous. I look forward to playing it again with the chill music and relaxing. Basically you can play the game that way or go for a harder mode and really make it tough. The art is fun and the Game Dev really updates and fixes the game quickly if there are any changes to be made based on people playing it. This really is a fun version of a life simulator where you try to purchase items without getting too far into debt. Thank you Static City Games for being awesome! P.S. The price is very reasonable in my opinion as well. Support those indie devs yo!

The game is cute, and it's nice that it gets updates. But it's wildly inaccurate and was clearly made by someone with a negative outlook on life. There are a lot of really random and completely unavoidable debts you incur (like your mom sending you a $10,000 medical debt to pay?!) and it's nearly impossible to hold any job for more than a couple weeks. Additionally, the stock market in this game doesn't perform nearly as well as any realistic market. Overall, this is a game that really makes things seem harder than they are in real life.

This game would b great if only they didn't break something every time they fix something. The updates are far and few between and most of the breaks make it unplayable. So you are left waiting for a fix for half a year. And in the mean time you can't play. As of right now the stock market is broken. Scratch tickets are broken. Financeing items is broken. Don't buy until it becomes playable again.

LifeAndDebt is a fun simulator where you must obtain all items in the shop and reach a debt of 0. It has random life events which will either benefit or damage your economical state. The creator has announced that more content is to be added. Watching him work on this project has been a lot of fun and I will continue to watch and give ideas, which he is really open to. The game can be quite hard so, if you're up for the challenge, go ahead! Would for sure recommend as you won't get bored whilst playing this. You might get irritated because things don't go your way but I'm guessing that's how life works ;p

If real life wasn't already enough to keep you in a constant state of anxiety fueled by debt, and never ending life events that come at the most inopportune times, then hold on to your socks cause Life and Debt is here! It's a fun game, priced about the same as a good cup of coffee and blacker than the soul of the barista who served it to you. The developer did a great job on such a simple game and the updates over time have been good to see. LaD:ARLS is a good time waster and a funny comparison to the struggles of the daily grind. If you need to kill a few hours, this game's worth it.
