About the Game

What if you could live a thousand lives?

From your very first breath to your final moments, you will experience every year of an ordinary life. You’ll learn to walk, go to school, make friends, fall in love for the first time, choose a career, meet strangers, perhaps start a family… You’ll laugh, you’ll fail, you’ll lose people you love. Sometimes, almost nothing will happen.

And yet, every decision matters.

At every stage of your life, situations will arise and you’ll have to make choices. Some may seem insignificant. Others will completely change the course of your life. A forgotten encounter from years ago may resurface. A decision you made at 15 could follow you all the way to 70. And some of the most important moments may only reveal their meaning much later.

You might have a brilliant career or spend your entire life in the same small village. Fall in love, stay alone, have children… Or just a dog. Take risks or choose a quiet life. Make the right choices… or the wrong ones.

There is no victory. Only a life to live.

And when that life comes to an end, another one will begin.

With millions of possible combinations of choices, encounters, relationships, and events shaping your existence, no two playthroughs will ever tell the same story.

You won’t simply play Oda’s life.

You’ll discover who Oda could have become.

• 1 year = 1 event: each year of your life, a new event is presented to you.

• 2 choices per event: decide how Oda reacts and shape the course of his life.

• Long-term consequences: your decisions can influence the events, relationships, and opportunities that appear years later.

• Millions of possibilities: choices, encounters, relationships, and events can combine in countless ways to create a different life every time you play.

• Reincarnation: when Oda dies, choose to begin an entirely new life or relive the exact same life to try to change certain events and alter his fate.

• Every life is unique: no two playthroughs will unfold exactly the same way.
