What is a living world in a game?
Living world game
A living world is a game world where characters keep their own lives when you do not look. They work, go home, and meet friends on a schedule. In LifeSim, each person has a job, a home, friends, and a routine they follow minute by minute.
Play in the browserHow LifeSim does it
Each person in LifeSim has a weekday and a weekend routine. They follow it minute by minute: work, home, and time with friends.
People also have goals and long-term plans. They remember you, text you on their own, and invite you to things.
Happenings appear on the map, such as a house party or a grand opening. Each day ends with a recap of its moments.
