Oh my God this game is seriously a genuine experience, if you don't become depressed playing this game you've no soul.
You can in fact get it for free from the dev website, so you've no excuse, get it now here [url]http://www.richardhofmeier.com/cartlife/[/url] and if you fancy the game, buy it (of course, the freeware version isn't complete, but you can fully play it).
The game is difficult (atleast as the divorced mother, I didn't want to play as the guy with the cat because I love cats too much), so prepare yourself for this.
I'm seriously surprised this got released in Steam, can't wait to buy it, this game is amazing.
Cart Life is a great game and you should buy it. It's an "art game" if you want to call it that, only with amazing music and good gameplay.

You can get the game [B]for free[/B] [URL="http://www.richardhofmeier.com/cartlife/editions.html"]here[/URL], or pay $5 for a DRM free version with the bagel vendor, the soundtrack, an ebook and an extra game (the same thing you can get on Steam), or if you're feeling fancy you can pay $40 for the $5 edition plus a fancy metal tin full of fancy stuff like three mini-books and an original cartoon from the author.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but shit this game is great. It's Recettear, sept instead of dungeon crawling you live a miserable life as a russian with broken english living with his cat. It is kinda artsy but in a walking dead playing to your emotions kinda way, not just a pretentious abstract piece or something.
Only 2 things really bug me. The art is really inconsistent with how pixilated things are. Art didn't need to sacrifice itself this badly to get the retro feeling across and the music can be grating in some areas, while really good in others. My other problem is it keeps bringing up mouse controls when they coulda mapped the whole thing to the keyboard. The mouse controls just pop up when you don't want them to and it bugs me when the game is otherwise laid out so both hands are supposed to be on your keyboard.
Finally after all these fucking years of crashing into countless fruit stands, now is my time to be the asshole that gets in the drivers way.
