One Life, More Life: Life Sim

Right now, about four babies are born every second. You are one of them.

One Life, More Life is a life simulation game built on real data. Where you are born is drawn from the actual number of births in 196 countries, so you are as likely to start life in India or Nigeria as the world really is. Your country sets the odds: how long people live there, how likely school is, what can go wrong. Then you live that one life, a year at a time, until it ends.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Real birth and life expectancy data from 196 countries (World Bank, 2024)
• A 3D Earth that flies you to the place you were born
• Hand-painted birth scenes for 25 regions, from the first-month feast in Vietnam to a naming day in West Africa
• Choices that leave marks: what you decide at 11 can decide what happens to you at 28
• Recorded music that changes with each stage of life
• At the end, an obituary of your whole life next to your country's average, and a story card to share

PLAY IT YOUR WAY
• Offline. No account, no sign-up, no data collected
• 7 languages: English, Français, Español, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, Tiếng Việt
• One life takes a few minutes. Then begin again, somewhere else on Earth

A real life holds loss, illness and hard choices. This game does not look away from them.
