Artist life simulator invites you to immerse yourself in an alternate 19th century world where survival depends on your ability to navigate the turbulent life of a classical artist. Set in Nova Oportunia, the contemporary art capital of the world, this roguelite challenges you to balance inspiration drawn from people, city streets, and the darkest poisons of the mind while managing 66 unique feelings that impact your psyche in various ways. Through hundreds of beautifully hand-painted cards, you will interact with the mind of the artist and the vibrant and often harsh realities of the city, combining, collecting and interacting with these elements to unlock new opportunities and shape your journey. Poverty, physical ailments, and mental struggles such as anxiety, guilt, and addiction threaten their sanity, with permanent death looming as a constant consequence of failing to cope with the pressures of this passionate but unforgiving lifestyle. As an artist, your emotional turmoil can be transformed into spectacular masterpieces or countered with moments of love, peace and delight, offering a dynamic interplay between suffering and creation. Explore the decaying streets of the 19th century and seek solace in the establishments of Bar Avenue to drown out gloomy thoughts, or adopt Iron Person mode for a grueling test of endurance. Your life unfolds through a variety of small and large victories, culminating in the creation of a painting that changes the world and cements your legacy. The game’s visuals are carefully designed, with hand-painted art by the developers alongside illustrations from historical sources from the 18th and 19th centuries tailored to the game’s unique aesthetic. Artist Life Simulator is presented as a passionate independent project that emphasizes ethical art and thoughtful design, offering a rich, emotionally charged experience for players seeking to survive and thrive as a tormented but inspired creator.
