American Life
The American Dream, simulated - born broke or born rich
A free, no-download life sim of the American economy. The Birth Lottery deals your starting hand - trust fund or paycheck-to-paycheck - once, permanently. Grind gig shifts, repair a 580 FICO, play Wall Street, make rent, survive healthcare. An AI strategist critiques your actual balance sheet. Inspired by the viral Lagos Life wave.
Hey Product Hunt! Solo founder here. I built American Life after watching Lagos Life sweep Nigeria - a whole country playing a browser game about its own economy. The American version had to be about the thing we don't say out loud: where you start decides most of the race. So before you play, the Birth Lottery deals your hand - trust fund or paycheck-to-paycheck - once per account, permanently. Then you grind: gig shifts, credit repair, Wall Street, rent due every Saturday, and an AI strategist who roasts your actual balance sheet. Free, no download, no signup. Tell me what you got born into - the odds table is public. AMA about the economy model or how I keep the AI costs from eating me alive.
