Ever wonder what another life would be like? In Lifespan.exe there is no undo. Shape your destiny in a retro terminal with stylish ASCII art: Be a musician, athlete, surgeon, or mobster; pick your spouse and career. Marry, fall into debt, go to jail, or explore the world. Enjoy your chosen life!
Story
From birth to death, one single life. Live the one you've always wondered about. Lifespan.exe is a text-based life simulator that runs inside a green-phosphor terminal. You open your eyes as a small child, and every year life asks you the same question: "What are you going to do?" WHAT KIND OF LIFE? That part's up to you. Will you start a band in the garage and play weddings, or save lives in an operating room? Become the terror of the neighborhood and get mixed up with the mob — or an astronaut who looks down on the whole world one day? You can even be a fortune teller. We don't judge. LIFE TAKES THE SHAPE YOU GIVE IT At any point in the year you can stop and make a decision. Look for a job, enroll at university, rent a place, ask someone to marry you. If the mood takes you, pack a bag and leave for another city; if the money runs short, knock on the loan shark's door. None of it is required, and none of it comes in a fixed order. But every decision bends the next one: the time you set aside for yourself this year shows up ten years later — in your salary, or in your health. EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE Fall in love, get married, raise a kid — or neglect the...
