8 itemsAbout the Game
Lifelong is a first-person exploration and puzzle-solving game.
Lifelong is a surreal world full of strange beings! It's a fantastic universe that traps you in mindless offices. It's a world of the absurd, of metaphor and stupefaction, in the service of an incisive tone that criticizes the contemporary workplace.
