Description
Cart Life has been recognized for its innovative approach to storytelling and gameplay within the indie game industry. In 2013, Cart Life swept the Independent Games Festival's Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Nuovo Award, and Excellence in Narrative Award, underscoring its significant impact and influence on the industry, especially in its fusion of the simulation genre with a deep, narrative-driven experience.
The game's portrayal of the mundane struggles of everyday life through the lens of street vendors was both unique and poignant, offering players a chance to empathize with experiences that are often overlooked in mainstream gaming. Its success paved the way for other indie games, that focus on narrative and emotional depth, contributing to a broader acceptance of games as a medium for serious storytelling.
The game's resurrection by Elliott McAllister on the App Store and the ongoing discussions about its legacy underscore its lasting impact on the indie game scene. It's a testament to the enduring power of a well-crafted game to influence both players and fellow creators long after its initial release.

Ratings and Reviews
An immersive game
This is great. Like diving into a graphic novel. I have only scratched the surface but the game offers an immersive world and I already want to find out what makes Andrus tick and how I can help him (and his cat) navigate his cart life. The retro monochrome aesthetic is a pleasing antidote to the current trend for ever more hyper virtual reality. Like reading a book it stimulates the imagination and engages the brain. Cool music and SFX too!
Developer Response ,
Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words! It's fantastic to hear that Cart Life has struck a chord with you, offering an experience akin to diving into a beloved graphic novel. We're glad that Andrus, his feline companion, and their world have drawn you in and sparked your curiosity.
The retro monochrome aesthetic was a deliberate choice to create that very contrast you've enjoyed—providing a space for imagination to flourish against the backdrop of today's high-octane virtual realities. We're delighted that it's resonated with you and that the music and sound effects are adding to your experience.
There's plenty more to uncover about Andrus and his life, so keep exploring, and we hope you continue to enjoy every moment of the journey!
Warmest regards,
The Cart Life Team
Love it!
Brilliant game, unlike any other game I’ve played. Definitely worth the money, the only downside is I’m dying to play the other characters and get to play Andrus for longer than a week, so many things to do on there. Amazing game thank you so much

We're just as excited about expanding the universe and can't wait for you to meet Melanie. She's currently in the midst of her own epic development journey and will be making her debut on the App Store soon. We promise it'll be worth the wait, with even more to explore and enjoy.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm—it's players like you who make the gaming world go round!
