My Life

About

My Life casts you as Eugene, a weary office worker trapped in a grueling weekly grind. Each day is a gauntlet of absurd obstacles from rogue appliances to bratty toddlers as you battle to survive until Friday. The goal isn't just survival but progression through increasingly chaotic levels filled with hazards that mix dark humor and retro platforming. You'll dodge vacuum cleaners, outrun road sweepers, and evade security guards while managing mundane yet torturous tasks like finding lost keys or dealing with a stubborn car. The controls are straightforward but the timing demands precision as each level ramps up the pressure. The game stands out for its intentionally bleak comedy and pixel-perfect C64 visuals that embrace the charm of early 90s gaming. While the 1995 release date means it predates modern platformer refinements, fans of retro challenge-based games appreciate its relentless difficulty and creative enemy design. The publisher's prior success with Darkness on the same platform suggests quality execution of the era's technical limits. With no save points and escalating obstacles, it's a love-it-or-find-a-pillow experience that's become a cult favorite among Commodore enthusiasts.

Storyline

Eugene was a popular teenager, the girls loved him and the boys wanted to be like him. Over the years however, life has taken its toll on poor Eugene. His hair has done a runner and his waistline has expanded. Add to that his whole week revolves around a job he can't stand with a boss who hates him. Every weekday he has to wake up early and make his way to the office hoping he can find his keys, that his car will start and that he doesn't get a ticket from the evil security guards. Can you help Eugene stomp his way through the week so he can finally get that friday feeling and have some nice late sleepins?
