Description: Life Unfolds is a charming, emotional game that captures the best moments in life. It’s about growing up, learning skills, and creating memories with friends and family. The game takes you through four stages of life: childhood, teenage, adulthood, and old age. As you grow up, you learn skills from your friends and family like fishing, gardening, photography, and biking. Eventually, you can get married, have a child of your own, and teach them the skills you’ve learned. But as you age, so does everyone else around you; your grandparents and parents slowly pass away, and eventually you do too. The original name for the game was You Only Live Once, and in many ways the game is about how precious our time is and how we should spend it with those we love and care about.
