Grand Theft Life is a game about spending your life doing stuff.

Doing stuff spends YEARS of your life. How you choose to play is up to YOU!
Good luck and remember, there is more to life than going POSTAL (although it is an option).

YES SORRY it's a mistake, you should not be locked out of school before you are 18 (it was set to 17 for some reason). It should be fixed now. You could've also gained age by working in the fast food restaurant to get around it. Anyway I hope you'll give it another go!
But for real, this game was actually really fun, I had one run through to see my options, then restarted to try to live the life I wanted. I'd love to see a concept like this fleshed out in full, with more options and choices to make over your life. Really good. Great interpretation of the theme too btw.
Of course I knew that my life would be dedicated to engineering those cat girls. So I became a businessman, rented out all the houses to get my science degree and gave humanity the next step in its evolution.
Stealing peoples lives didn't turn out that well for me though, still I would do it all over again! :D
I really enjoyed all those tiny details you build into the game with the mechanics and the text.
The graphics, with all the little animations was really charming. The sound and music fit very well into the game.
very impressive entry and best take on the theme i've seen so far!
Nice job
I studied art, science, robbed a house, worked two years in a fastfood restaurant and then i discovered the lottery. It took me ages but i became rich by buying lottery tickets over and over, haha. I had a great time playing, and the game perfectly fits the theme. oh and the music is really cool.
Congrats for your entry !
As for the target, yeah every sim gets their name randomly from a list and sometimes there can be multiple sims with the same name. Not really a bug but definitely an oversight.
really enjoyed it :d
