CART LIFE
游戏体验
In Cart Life, players control one of three characters, each of whom has a different street vending job; Vinny sells bagles, Andrus runs a newspaper stand, and Melanie sells coffee from a cart. While at their stalls players interact with customers by selling them items and can manage their stall by selecting stock, setting prices, and buying new equipment. Players must also look after the character's day-to-day lives, including having adequate food, drink, and sleep.
I played Andrus's life for this game. The is a pixel art game in black and white style which simulates a person's daily life. Not only just about making business - as a man selling newspaper in a newspaper stand, besides, there are more things in the game that players should consider. Dealing with relationship with your customer/neighbors /police officer, making your budget balanced , taking care of yourself and your cat compose of your whole day in the game.
After playing this game longer, I am more familiar with what I should do in each today. Then the whole process of making business become bored, repeated and exhausted in each day which simulates our real life very well. This is not like other simulation game which aimed at making players happy and have a sense of achievement. Perhaps, the boredom and those details in the life that we need to consider is what the game designer what us to feel about. For my personal feeling, I feel really tired when I need to choose topics to communicate with customers.
Through story-telling in each day, players can know more deeper about who Andrus is and what his past about. Also. through Andrus dream we can learn more about his spirit world. Are we Andrus ourselves? Or we are just controlling his life?
