About the Game

Life of an NPC is a top-down AI-directed town simulator. Each NPC formulates their own goals and decides how to respond to other NPCs or in-game events. They can also use items on each other or interact with objects within the world.

Towns are procedurally generated via your prompt. Manipulate a character's goals or add new objects into the world to see how they react and develop over time.

This game is currently in Early Access. Please see the "Early Access" section for details.

Notice: The future of this game is uncertain and continued updates are not guaranteed, though I will do my best to ensure it isn’t broken. Among AI Roguelite, AI Roguelite 2D, and Life of an NPC, I will always prioritize whichever game seems to have the most potential to become great. For example, if tomorrow I get some random burst of inspiration which I feel would take Life of an NPC to the next level, I would redirect all my efforts in that direction. Currently, I am focusing on AI Roguelite (original). That may change in a few months, or it may not. This message was last updated July 2025.
