AI Generated Content Disclosure

Declared by the publisher

This game does not use Live-Generated AI during gameplay. The game does not connect to any external AI service, does not send player input to AI models, and does not generate new AI content while the game is running. Some visual assets in the game were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These assets are static, pre-generated, reviewed by the developer, and included directly in the game build. All AI-assisted visual content is used as fixed in-game artwork and is not dynamically generated during gameplay

Required on Steam since 2024. Covers what ships, not tools used in development. Check it on Steam.

ABOUT THIS GAME

Pop Star Life is a single-player, text-based sandbox life simulation about building a music career from nothing.

Start as an unknown artist with limited money, energy, skills, and reputation. Write songs, rehearse, perform at small venues, grow your fanbase, release music, manage your lifestyle, and slowly climb from street performances to major stages.

Your career is shaped by interconnected systems: fame, fans, money, stress, health, energy, inspiration, relationships, housing, clothing, crew members, concerts, digital platforms, and public image. Every choice affects your long-term progress.

Build Your Music Career

Write and develop songs, prepare your repertoire, record tracks in studios, release singles, and grow your catalog over time. Better preparation, stronger skills, and smarter decisions lead to better results.

Perform From Small Venues To Huge Stages

Begin with street performances and local gigs, then unlock larger venues as your fame and fanbase grow. Concerts can reward you with money, fame, fans, and reputation, but they also cost energy and increase stress.

Manage Your Life, Not Just Your Music

Your artist has daily needs. Energy, health, stress, social life, relationships, housing, and lifestyle choices all matter. Ignoring life outside music can slow your progress or create new problems.

Grow Through Systems

Hire crew members, improve your wardrobe, buy better living spaces, manage income, handle opportunities, react to events, and build a sustainable career. Pop Star Life is designed around long-term progression, layered decisions, and slow-burn growth.

A Text-Based Sandbox Inspired By Deep Browser Sims

Pop Star Life focuses on interconnected systems, progression, and player-driven goals. There is no single correct path. You decide what kind of artist you want to become.
