Laura is one of those weird little Game Boy Color life sims where you basically puppet someone’s entire existence—what they eat, where they go, even how they react to stuff. It’s kinda like Tamagotchi but with a human, and way more existential when you think about it too hard.

You start off picking Laura’s mood (grumpy, cheerful, whatever) and then just… nudge her through daily life. Mess with her routines enough and she’ll pick up habits on her own, which is equal parts cool and low-key terrifying. The European version’s got text in like seven languages, but honestly? Half the fun is just seeing how long you can keep her from spiraling into chaos.

It’s janky, oddly specific, and exactly the kind of thing you’d find buried in a late-90s bargain bin—in the best way possible.
