CART LIFE IS A RETAIL SIMULATION FOR WINDOWS. IT FOCUSES ON THE LIVES OF STREET VENDORS.

EACH OF THE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS HAS SPECIFIC GOALS AND SKILLS BUT ALSO UNIQUE ADDICTIONS WHICH THE PLAYER MUST ACCOMMODATE IN ORDER TO SUCCEED. PERMITS ARE REQUIRED BUT EXPENSIVE - IS IT WORTH RISKING A FINE TO OPERATE WITHOUT ONE?

THE PLAYER ALSO NEEDS TO RESPOND TO EACH CUSTOMER'S SPECIAL TRAITS. MOST CUSTOMERS WILL TIP WELL WHEN THEIR ORDER IS FILLED QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY, SO DO YOUR BEST!

CART LIFE’s SOUNDTRACK FEATURES MAXIMUM BITRATE CHIPTUNE COMPOSITIONS BY LO.BAT + MAT64 + POCKETMASTER + STU.

THIS SIMULATION WAS FIRST SHOWN AS AN ARCADE CABINET AT AN ART GALLERY IN OREGON IN 2008 AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IS ONGOING.

CART LIFE VERSION 1.6 IS HERE ON ITCHIO. IT IS FREE AND OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE RELEASED UNDER ITS OWN PERMISSIVE LICENSE (WHICH IS MORE OR LESS JUST CREATIVE COMMONS "ZERO" EXCEPT FOR THE MUSIC). YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT HERE, AT THE INTERNET ARCHIVE, AND PRESUMABLY ELSEWHERE, TOO.

CART LIFE IS UNDERGOING (OVERGOING?) DEVELOPMENT IN 2023 2024.

A SMALL UPDATE (~7gb) IS INCREASINGLY LIKELY.
