Life choice simulation games

This cluster consists of 12 text-based life simulation games where players guide a character through life stages, careers, and relationships via choices. Dated entries prior to the index show an initial period of six releases from September 2018 to August 2020, then a gap until three more entries in January and June 2026. Traction leaders by activity signal are Staff! - Job & Life Simulator, LifePop - Life Simulator, and BitLife - Life Simulator, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
