what is Groundhog Life?

Live a normal incremental life with work and learning until something unusual happens near your 60th birthday.

Groundhog Life is an idle game simulating everyday life activities like working and buying items. The gameplay follows a typical life until a strange event occurs around the player’s 60th birthday.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Management / Strategy / Minimalist corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
