Rebirth Simulator is a unique hybrid that blends slot-machine strategy, life simulation, and roguelite elements. You awaken in a mysterious new world as the "bastard offspring" of a text-based RPG and a slot machine. Your goal is to create a character, shape their destiny, and survive for a 100-year journey, all dictated by the spin of the reels.
Each spin of the slot machine represents one year of your character's life. This spin isn't just for luck; it's your primary engine for survival and progress. You must earn enough resources from the machine to pay for your continued existence ("offer tribute") or risk fading away. Each year is accompanied by a short text description detailing your life's circumstances.
The core strategy lies not in the spin itself, but in how you "build your deck" of symbols. You will collect hundreds of quirky symbols that fill the 20 cells of the slot machine (if you have more than 20, 20 are chosen randomly). These symbols have powerful synergies. A Cherry might just give you 1 gold, but a Rain symbol might boost all Cherries to 2 gold. A Bear symbol might destroy a Honey symbol for a massive 40 gold payout. You will constantly refine your inventory of symbols to maximize your earnings and unlock powerful combinations.
The game features a deep roguelite progression system. You begin each life by creating a new character, generating their stats and choosing two bonuses. These stats provide passive benefits and unlock access to different traits. Each run is a new life, and no two lives are the same. Will you struggle as a wandering adventurer, or build a powerful enough engine to thrive in this strange new world? The choice is yours—spin by spin, life by life.
