Kudos is a turn-based game that puts you in control of a single character and manages their life from age 20 to 30. You get to pick their friends, their job, and how they spend their free time, but there is a catch! You can only choose to do one thing each day, or two at the weekends.

Disregard my playtime on Steam. I originally bought this game in 2008 or 2009 and had dozens of hours on that version. I went back to this, the original Kudos, and Kudos Rock Legend many times. At the height of my playing it, it scratched a similar itch to The Sims series (in terms of character development, not the visual/home design elements). I've been a big fan of many Positech for longer than I'd care to admit. This title and series might not be for everyone, but for me, I've gotten dozens of hours out of this title in particular. I enjoy the atmosphere and the ride taken. I'm a big fan of the dev, big fan of the games. It works perfectly on my PC. I was unable to get it to work on the Steam Deck. I'm no professional reviewer, and you don't know me. But I liked this game enough to buy it twice. If Kudos and Kudos Rock Legend saw a Steam Release I'd buy them a second time as well.
Don't be misled by the publication date in 2023. This is a 2008-era flash game made to work in modern hardware but without any changes to art, gameplay, or ux. Compared to any game made today, it is 1/5 stars. It doesn't hold up. Compared to when it was made, I give it nostalgia/5 stars. As a throwback, I wouldn't pay more than $1 for it. Perhaps good for one playthrough but I still can't recommend it. There are too many better ways you can spend your time and money.
This is like one of those games you played ages ago and just randomly found on Steam one day and decide to grab it for old times sake.
Old game, more like a bitlife for PC, hopefully they release Kudos 3 in the future
I bought this on a whim, and it's deeply disappointing. The idea is AMAZING. It's fun and engaging. The implementation? come on... NO ONE IN THE WORLD has to choose between "taking a bath" and "going out for dinner". Not to mention books. If I walk to work or ride a bus, why can't a I read while I do that? It's what I do IRL. It's one of THE reasons not to go by car. I would love for this idea to be remade into a good life model.
I played this game alot a decade ago, the only reason I purchased now was to show the dev that there is still interest in the game so he hopefully makes Kudos 3 :). Call it an investment in my future entertainment,
I bought this game instantly when I saw it in the store as it evoked massive nostalgia playing this as a teenager... 10-15 years ago? It's a sims-style game where you attend classes, work your way up the career ladder, spend time with friends, own pets etc. It's addicting trying to get to the end of your career ladder and manage your happiness and friendships as you go. There are lots of items to buy and events to attend, and it's clear a lot of love went into the game's creation. However even as a teenager I remember finding it a little repetitive and lacking in replayability (there are several career ladders but they all function the same way, there aren't many random/unique events, you can date someone but it doesn't seem like you can do anything past that like marry/kids). So while I'm really glad that it's available for purchase on Steam for those that want some nostalgia, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone else as the depth and UI don't hold up today. I'd love if they were making a modern sequel!
It was my nostalgic game I Play in my old PC and very happy could play it again It was a good game if you want to play 5 minute play rather than to watching the walls only Hope you make KUDOS & KUDOS ROCK LEGEND available too
Simple, yet engaging, and doesn't bog used down with unnecessary graphics. Is dated and lacks tremendous depth.
I always loved Kudos and bought this on sale for nostalgia reasons: the game hasn't aged perfectly but as long as you're aware of what you're getting, I still think the game is great fun. HOWEVER I cannot recommend it to anyone for now as the game keeps getting stuck and crashing every few min, making it pretty much impossible to play. I'm hoping to get help from the devs as I would love to continue playing and give a positive review, but it's just not possible at the moment...
