8 Billion Lives: Life Sim

Out of 8 billion people, which life would be yours?
8 Billion Lives is a life simulator that drops you into the world the way it really works. Your birthplace is drawn with real birth odds: watch the map spin, then land on a country, a city, a family. Maybe a megacity, maybe a quiet village. From there, it's your life to live.
LIVE A WHOLE LIFE, YEAR BY YEAR
Each year unfolds in about a minute. Your journal fills with small moments: first words, a best friend, a first job, a cat that wanders in and stays. Then come the choices that matter: stay in school or start earning, move to the city, fall in love, raise children, look after your parents.
EVERY CHOICE SHIFTS THE ODDS
Decide where your time goes and watch Health, Happiness, Knowledge and Bonds respond. Your money is shown in your birth country's own currency. Nothing is guaranteed: illness, layoffs, booms and crises arrive the way they do in real life.
BUILT ON REAL DATA
Behind this life sim are statistics for 200 countries. They shape what's likely for you: schooling, jobs and income, marriage, children, health and life expectancy. You'll see how many babies born with you are still alive, and meet people born in the same second as you, elsewhere in the world.
YOUR LIFE, REPLAYED AS A PIXEL FILM
When your story ends, it plays back scene by scene in original pixel art: your birth, school, first job, wedding, children, the people you lost, your last days. Then comes an epitaph under the stars.
