Life Like is a browser life simulator built on one idea: you never know what you're gonna get. Every run drops you into a randomly dealt life — a different era, place, family, and a gift you were born with. You might open your eyes in a gold-rush boomtown to an old-money dynasty, or in the present day to a struggling household in a small village. The hand is never the same twice, and you don't choose it.
From that starting hand you live a whole life in a handful of choices. Each event puts a fork in front of you — a decision that nudges your stats up or down and quietly steers where the rest of the life goes. Ages tick past between choices. Some runs stretch to old age; some end early. When the life closes, you get a result: the shape of who you became, scored and ready to share, plus a spot on the leaderboard if the score is good enough.
A single life takes about two minutes, so the pull is in the retry. The randomized start means the same choice lands differently depending on the era and circumstances you were dealt — a safe decision in a wealthy modern life can be the wrong one in a harsher time. There's a fresh Daily life every day that everyone plays from the same seed, and weekly and monthly leaderboards for the highest scores. No install, no account — it runs in the browser and picks up where you left off.
