Original, Octover 5 – A new game is heading to the Google Play Store next week going by the name of “Crap! I’m Broke!” It’s a tongue-in-cheek life management simulator in which resources are scarce, rewards are doled out in disproportionately scarce amounts, and everything can fall apart at a moment’s notice. And yet somehow, you’re having a good time laughing at the futility of your own situation all along. It’s basically the general millennial experience distilled in mobile game form.

What makes Crap! I’m Broke! entertaining rather than frustrating is the pervasive sense of ironic humor matched with a jazzy soundtrack and minimalist graphics. Shoved out into the “real world” with not much to go on, it falls to you to find a job no matter how little it pays, be it fry cook or human statue. Stay on the prowl for “Help Wanted” signs while grinding through your day job for lackluster pay and fending off your bills and trying to eat enough food to stay alive.
