Your birth is drawn from real numbers. First love, marriage, a midlife crisis and your last adventure are up to you. The plot twists are up to fate.

Live the whole thing.
Your birth country, family and lifespan are drawn from real 2024 data. Then ten choices, from your first crush to your last adventure, and every plot twist life throws in between.
The numbers are real. The plot twists are for fun. Nothing graphic.
You are born where babies are actually born: about one in six in India, one in fifteen in China, one in a hundred and seventy-six in Japan. Your lifespan follows that country’s real child mortality and life expectancy, so you may not reach every question.
Along the way you face ten choices, at 10, 15, 18, 23, 30, 38, 45, 52, 62 and 75. Each one shifts the odds of what happens next: secret love affairs, long-lost siblings, bankruptcies and comebacks.
Real numbers, fictional drama
Country, family, school, work, children and lifespan come from UN and Gapminder statistics. The twists are fiction, written to be fun: you might be swapped at birth, jilted at the altar or found by your first love forty years later. Nothing is graphic.
