Features

Consequences and Multiple Paths

Every time you play, based on the answers you choose and randomly generated characters, you’ll have a different experience. That’s the beauty of the game. You’ll be starting with a character that has randomly rolled stats like appearance, intellect, and more. Based on how you start off, you can choose to work on your weakest links or ignore them completely.

How you act with your parents, friends, and with yourself will ultimately determine your life’s path and whether it goes to a more successful one, or down a dark rabbit hole.

Activities

While playing through different phases of your life, you’ll have the option to participate in different activities. In school, you can join clubs, interact with your classmates, and develop your own interpersonal skills. These activities will differ depending on your age, and where your character is currently. As your character grows up, many more activities will unlock. You can go as far as to even hire hitmen!
