Dreamboat Games Announces Pursuit of Life — A 2D Life Sim About Chasing Success, Love, and Purpose
Los Angeles, CA – [November 7, 2025] — Dreamboat Games is thrilled to officially announce Pursuit of Life, a 2D life simulation RPG about becoming successful — whatever that means to you. Set in a vibrant world inspired by Southern California, Pursuit of Life blends the cozy charm of Stardew Valley with the ambition and grit of modern city life.
Players begin their journey as an 18-year-old fresh out of high school, facing the pressures of parents and society to “get a job.” What follows is a story of choice, challenge, and self-discovery in an open world where every decision shapes your rise — from your first paycheck to your ultimate purpose.
See the teaser trailer here:
Choose Your Own Path to Success
In Pursuit of Life, players can carve their own route toward greatness through five distinct life paths:
Retail: Go from store associate to CEO
Cooking: Go from restaurant server to world-renowned chef
Athletic: Go from rookie athlete to global champion or fighter
Music: Go from street performer to famous music artist
Business: Go from lemonade stand entrepreneur to business mogul
Each path converges toward the business endgame, with its own flavor of storytelling and gameplay. Along the way, players will build relationships, complete quests, collect key items, and navigate personal choices that define who they become — or ignore it all and grind your way to the top in this sandboxy open world game.
An Open-World Life Sim with Heart
Pursuit of Life offers an open world with rich sandbox freedom while staying deeply rooted in narrative and character development. Beneath its cheerful exterior, the game explores themes of ambition, love, and identity.
The heart in the game’s logo isn’t just for show — Pursuit of Life is also a dating sim, letting players pursue romance, friendships, and heartbreak alongside their career. Exploration, side quests, and slice-of-life moments round out the experience, making every in-game day feel alive and unpredictable.
Beyond Success: What Comes After
After achieving business success, players will unlock the opportunity to step into a new role: Mayor of the City — a major update planned as the game’s first post-launch expansion. This next phase will challenge players to manage their community and legacy in a city shaped by their previous decisions.
