About this game

Experience another life in a text-based simulation.

This text-based life simulation uses population and life statistics to imagine a life you might have lived. Follow its years, face decisions, and reflect on how opportunity and circumstance shape a person.

Why I recommend this game

I especially recommend this game to young people who feel unsure about their future. Try living several different lives and step outside your present circumstances. From a wider perspective, ask yourself: if my starting point were different, what would matter to me, and what would I choose? Then bring that question back to your own life: how do I really want to live?

I also recommend it to adults carrying the weight of everyday pressures. A moment or a choice may echo something in your own life. The game may not solve your real difficulties, but it can offer a reminder: those difficulties are not the whole of your story. It is okay to slow down and catch your breath. Wherever you are right now, life continues, and there is still a next step to look forward to.
