Nobody – The Turnaround
There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is, and to love it.
— Romain Rolland
Nobody – The Turnaround takes place in a parallel world similar to our current reality. The story unfolds in a modern metropolis, but not the concrete jungle as you know it. It’s more about the undergrowth, the much less glamorous neighborhoods where actual life happens.
“You” are one of the ordinary “Nobodies” in this world. You do not have a distinguished family background, elite education, or once-in-a-lifetime business opportunities. However, through hard work and determination, you might eventually get rid of your troubles and make your way in this realistic society.
Game Features
A Convincing Life Simulator
With systematic reconstructions of your possible physical status, such as Health and Emotions, Nobody – The Turnaround aims to accurately represent a person’s working and living situations. You may suffer injuries, get sick or feel down due to various unexpected random events in life. It’s important for you to balance everything and strive.
Work Hard and Strive for Success
From the initial basic jobs to skilled labor that requires specific training, you can experience all kinds of professions here in Nobody – The Turnaround. You can start by bricklaying, distributing leaflets, or mail delivery. All you need to do is work hard, create your career path, and eventually secure your dream job.
Real Life and Everyday Entertainment
You can do some group dancing with the ladies on the basketball court, play Chinese chess with the older man at the street corner, play games in the internet café, or lose yourself in the bookstore. Besides hard work, you need to arrange your pastimes responsibly to improve your mood and adjust your conditions.
Special Sandbox Mode
After experiencing the difficult journey of the Story Mode, you can choose to play the Sandbox Mode. Use your decision-making and management abilities to plan your career freely without all the restraints.
Social System & Relationships
Interact with dozens of characters, and as their affinity level increases, their hidden stories will be revealed. It’s even possible for you to romance some of them and build a life together.

It is been almost 3 years now,
I think the develop team had some serious issues,and this game will never be finished.
Some people say this game is Chinese real life simulator, well, 30 years earlier, yes, it somewhat like this,(in some cities)
especially for someone who is uneducated, their way of survival is work their ass off.
(It is still like this, but pays better now)
My personal guess is, someone report this game to the authority.
Recent year, China is try to show the good image to the world, and this game just do the opposite,
and that, cause the develop team to stop all the things they did.
It just my wild guess, and I hope I am wrong.
I really hope someday they will comeback and finish the game.
For those of who wanna try this game, well, don't buy it, you know what to do.

Good game. Too bad it's discontinued so don't expect any closure for the other storylines unfortunately.

Nobody – The Turnaround is one of the best urban survival games I’ve played.
The game does a great job capturing the struggle of starting with nothing and trying to build a stable life. The debt story mode and even the challenge mode were fun, and they made me just want more. It’s tough, but in a rewarding way where every small improvement actually feels earned. There are very few urban survival games that balance that harsh struggle with such a good gameplay loop.
It’s a shame the game was removed from the store and never fully finished. There were clearly bigger systems and ideas planned that we’ll probably never get to see. What’s left is still a great experience—but it also feels like a glimpse of what could have been.
