Lives is a singleplayer life simulator. One character, one lifetime, from first breath to last. Make it to the top of the corporate ladder, or leave school with a diploma and not much else. Every year, the choice is yours.

It starts the moment you're born. Pick your era, 1985 or today, your country, your name, and traits you'll carry from your first breath, such as brave, cunning, honest, or curious. No two lives begin the same.

A NEW EVENT EVERY YEAR
Every year throws something at you. A friend holds out a cigarette. A wallet sits on the pavement, fat with cash. The schoolyard bully wants what's in your pockets. You choose, and the choice sticks, and some options are only ever open to the kind of person you are. The brave stand their ground. The cunning talk their way out of trouble. The diary remembers every line.

 BUILD A CAREER

Go to school. See it through or sit it out, and decide whether university is worth your time. Train as a nurse, a police officer, or a trucker. Build the skills and earn the qualifications that get you hired, then work the job board for a role that'll have you. Land it and climb. Team Leader, Manager, Director, all the way up to CEO. When a promotion lands on your desk, will you take it or turn it down?

 THE LIFE AROUND YOU
 Meet a new family every game, parents, siblings, the friends you make along the way, and the first crush you never quite forget. Will you run into them again, years later? Make a best friend on the first day at a new job, then watch them stay your friend until the day you change companies. Watch the money come in, and the bills stack up. Pass your driving test. Buy an apartment, take out a mortgage, or inherit the family home. Fall out with people, or put things right.

 THE OBITUARY YOU EARN

Then live, until you don't. When the time comes, an article reads back the life you led, with the details that mattered. The shape of it is yours.

DESIGNED FOR EARLY ACCESS
 Lives is in active development. Today, it ships a complete single life from birth to obituary, with a corporate ladder, a procedural companies, a property market, a relationships graph, a job market, and a growing library of events.

Future Updates add generational play across decades, more careers, deeper systems, and a fuller world around the family. Your playthroughs and feedback shape what comes next.

Live a life. Then another. Then another.
