Life simulation game

subgenre of simulation video games

A life simulation game is a kind of role-playing game or RPG where the player takes on a god-like perspective of the game.[1] Unlike most RPGs, which progress at the player's speed, a life simulation game continues automatically.[1] SimAnimals is an example of a life simulation game.[2]
