LifePath Saga
LifePath Saga

Background: a pixel-art street in the style of the game's start menu, running from a hospital and a family home past a school, university, shops, offices, a chapel, a park and a cottage to a farm, with people from the game walking along it.

Play one life from birth to old age.

You're born somewhere in the world and grow up a year at a time. Go to school, find work, fall in love, start a business, raise a family and decide who gets what when you're gone.

Behind the start button, a gameplay loop recorded in LifePath Saga: an event choice, a proposal and beach wedding, starting a company, a car race, a penalty kick, a pet, and the time-travel menu. Press start to play the beginning of the real game in your browser.

Roll a life

Every game starts with a birth you don't choose: one of 155 countries, a family, a name and a few starting stats. Try it here. It uses the same rules as the game.

Each life you roll walks onto the street at the top of the page.
