My Life

My Life is a handheld console produced by the Giochi Preziosi Group and developed by Alien in 2007. It’s a virtual life simulator where you can create your own avatar and enter a world in which you’re the main character. You can be whoever you want and decide how to live your everyday life. When customizing your avatar, each player can choose their preferred body type, hairstyle and hair/eye color, style, and one of four pets to adopt (two puppies and two kittens). You can also choose an outfit to wear; the ones you don’t select will be stored in the wardrobe in your bedroom. The game features a city with several locations to explore (home, school, arcade, etc.), where you can carry out various activities classified as duties or hobbies. While enjoying your new life, you must pay attention to managing your avatar’s needs. There are eight parameters to keep under control: Health, Energy, Hygiene, Study, Food, Happiness, Relationships, and Beauty. Most activities, if performed correctly, will help keep the bars full. The passage of time or particularly tiring actions may cause them to decrease. If one or more bars empty completely, you’ll end up in the hospital, and you can only leave by purchasing a specific Cure or a Super Medicine. Your pet also has needs you must take care of, but there are only three, and they are much easier to manage (Food, Hygiene, Happiness).
