Game Concept:

After graduation, the life is yours. In Life Quest, you could become anything. You might want to work a chef or continue your study until become doctorate. All you have to do is manage your time well.

Although a lot of us become like this, we can fantasy we rich in Life Quest

The major this you have to consider when playing life quest is time. You have limited time in a day. Your happiness contributes to your time frame. Happier you are, more time you have. The more time you have, more things can be done. You will need to invest some of your time making money which could buy happiness!
Just like real life, Life Quest is basicly about Time and happiness
So, the game is about time management. What is the challenge?

Your high school friends will show up. They become your rivals for life accomplishment. Your goal is to accomplish higher and faster than them!

Yesterday friends is today rival

Well, here is another one

'ell, there are lots of them.
So much like a real life, huh?

My Reception:

Life Quest is a game I saw advertised. I always like casual games, like virtual villagers or tasty planet. The game is not new but I give it a try anyway.

Characters speak clearly! Good for English learner too!

When I heard a character speak, I know the game is well made. The 2D graphic fit just right to the game. It requires little power from a system.

With only a touchpad, you can beat your rival easily.
Control is extremely easy. You can play the game with only a mouse or a touchpad. This is truly click and sim.

The town, lots to explore
The game set in a town. It is not large but there are many things to be discovered. It is fun to dressing your avatar, like any sim games. Each cloth is not just for appearance, they give your avatar some stat boost. So, it is a worthy investment.

Yeah, set the appearance of your avatar. Every single sim game must have this feature

I think this skin fit my image

Dress your avatar! This sure take a lot of time and try
Each rival appear in the game prove little challenging at first. You might be bored by competing with them. However, most of your time in early plays will be invested in exploring your opportunities in the town. Thus, the early gameplay is not that boring. This game is really well designed given such pace.

Find jobs. That is a chef, not a pirate!
You got to eat every day in Life Quest, just like real life
After I play my time with the demo, I know that the game has high potential of fun because of its V/A (Visual + Acoutic) elements right and a good mix of challenging/accessibility.

Working could never be this easy!

End your day with sleep

The only flaw in the game is replayability. You will not earn much of fulfillment when you play the game for second time. You will have no bonus accomplishing your goal faster than finish it at all. However, given the price of the game, I think one playthrough is worth the bucks.

Your stat will prove significant later in Life Quest, such as finding a partner

Pets can boost your happiness, which in turn improve your time
In Short:

Buy it. Life Quest is a time management based casual game which is a must for casual game lovers.
