Life Sim Game
Some mad geniuses have turned the viral Lofi Girl into a Life Sim Game with a fabulous character creator, and it’s Steam Next Fest’s chillest demo. For nearly ten years, fans of the YouTube channel Lofi Girl, which features Lofi beats and an industrious anime girl, have been entertaining students, workaholics, stoners, and gamers while they relax at their workstations. Now, with a life sim ideal for habitual putters, the One Steam Next Fest demo makes that experience somewhat playable.
Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a “gamified focus tool” that provides you with a charming virtual companion to help you be productive, much like Lofi Girl. The demo features pleasant colors and the same downtempo music as the YouTube channel, but this time you are in charge.
You are immediately placed in a comfortable chamber with a few knobs to operate. To begin with, you can make an avatar by personalizing their appearance, attire, accessories, and even horns—which are essentially the more stylish equivalent of giving anime characters cat ears.
You may mod your version of the Lofi Girl channel after that. The avatar may be placed wherever in the room, including on your favorite desk or the couch by the fireplace. You can also select from several playlists, change the time of day, and control ambient sounds like rainfall. You then just take pleasure in the atmosphere you’ve produced. Once more, it embodies the happiness that led to Lofi Girl’s success, garnering nearly 14 million subscribers; however, this version is moddable.
Spirit City:
The way Spirit City integrates with the regular desk jobs you stoop over is my favorite thing about it. The trial didn’t have the “Habits” part, a to-do list, a timer, or a full-fledged journal. Nevertheless, I’m confident that the game will motivate me to finish my daily Duolingo courses.
Spirit City never gives you the impression that it is pressing you to be productive, even with all the useful productivity tools available. Alternatively, the living sim invites you to just relax. Take a seat. Mark off a few objectives. Adorn the space. or refrain from doing so. as an alternative. This thingymajig made the process of creating this very essay for you, my reader, infinitely easier.
I had my avatar sit with a book by the window and a pet mouse at his feet. I gave myself thirty minutes. Night to descend onto my virtual bedroom, I command. I took a seat, began tapping in a happy state of mind, and voilà. I checked one off when I opened the “To-Do” tab. And since I’m a chronic procrastinator myself, I’m eager for Spirit City to become a regular feature of my desk-bound schedule when it releases on Steam on April 8.
With previews for massive survival games, anarchic platformers, and farming simulations with shaky physics, Steam Next Fest is better than ever.
