Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is my most-played game over the last month, a simple "line go up" game where you buy, sell, and short against the predicted events of an alien baby's life. These alien babies can range from war-heroes-turned-generals to unlucky foundry workers who die in the factory they're born into.
Each baby life is mapped as a series of planet-specific events like "BOUGHT HOVERCAR COULDN'T AFFORD." For me these lines sit in the same universe as "Pancaked by drunk dump truck driver" from Tim Robinson's show I Think You Should Leave. These are my favorites:
The deadpan comedy of seeing MARRIED FOR SURVIVAL (age 64) stamped on screen in allcaps is very good. Major, trivial, and embarrassing life moments recorded as a cold, financial ticker, each year passing as one second.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
