Start your first life

Open the home page, sign in or create an account, and choose Start a life. The first card shows a randomly selected name, province, gender, religion, caregiver and family background. Continue when you have read the starting conditions; the next major decision concerns school. Your first five major choices are free, with lifetime access available as a one-time purchase.

The English and Thai controls switch the language of this site’s interface and current game. Your current life belongs to your account, so you can continue after changing languages or signing in on another device. If you return later, choose Continue saved life from the home page. The controls affect this independent game rather than the original reference site.

The original Thai game has its own entry screen and may offer guest or account play. Do not assume an account or save made on one site works on another. This is an independent fan implementation; it does not share the reference game's database or reproduce every reference event.

Read the birth screen

Look first at birthplace and family resources. In our game, provinces are selected uniformly, while family backgrounds use fictional weights. Neither choice is a statement about your real prospects or a population estimate. Starting cash gives you a rough idea of what the family can afford before school expenses.

The top bar presents health, happiness, skills, connections and cash. An additional debt amount appears when applicable. Health is important because reaching zero ends the life. Skills can unlock some work, while connections can matter in particular events. The numbers summarize the game state; they cannot explain every future event by themselves.

If you are learning the Thai interface, the translation guide explains common labels. For a closer look at attributes and the reference game's hidden merit, use the stats guide.

Choose school and training

Read the school list before selecting. Each option shows a cost and changes to the character's attributes. A more expensive school can provide different starting benefits, but it is not automatically the best choice for every life. If the cost exceeds cash, our version adds the shortfall to debt.

A later education decision offers university, vocational training, work, police training, a sports programme or study overseas in the ordinary route. Some later careers have specific prerequisites: for example, the police path requires police training here, and the professional athlete and coach paths require the sports programme. An athlete also needs enough health. The career screen displays a reason when a choice is unavailable.

The magic academy opens a separate fictional route in this independent game. It has its own school chapters and career choices, though its story is shorter and different from the reference game's magic school. The school and career guide helps compare costs and requirements.

Make career and family choices

At career selection, read the starting income, possible development and entry requirements. Income is not the same as savings: in our game living costs and debt interest are applied as time passes. Some work events also change health, happiness or connections. The political route has periodic elections, while the police route can lead to different conduct and job consequences.

Between major decisions, smaller events appear. Read the description and any listed effects, then select the option that matches the story you want to explore. A previous outcome appears above the next event. The Life log button opens a chronological record, which is useful when several events occur between two major ages.

Later choices can include a partner, children, work changes and retirement. There is no requirement to choose a particular family structure. When a life ends, review its record. If the character has a child, the continuation option starts a new generation in our version; otherwise start a separate life.

Save, restore, and review

The game saves your current life to your account as you play. Each accepted choice is sent to the server, and an error message appears if a request fails. You can return to the same account on another device. Keep the page open until a pending decision completes, especially on a slow connection.

One current life is stored for each account. A new life replaces the current saved life, so finish any story you want to keep before restarting. Sign in to the same account on another device and select Continue saved life. A copy from the independent original is not transferred automatically to this site.

There is no configured email verification, password-reset email or Google sign-in on this site at the time of writing. Keep your login details safe and do not rely on an unavailable reset flow. For device-specific advice, see where to play. You can also return to the guide list for related topics.

A short checklist before leaving

Before closing the browser, wait for the current decision to finish. If the game reports a connection error, do not assume the latest choice was accepted. Retry after the connection returns and check the displayed life. Since the account holds one current life, starting another run replaces that saved state rather than creating a cloud archive.

On a second device, sign in to the same account and continue the saved life from the home page. The server checks a revision on each change; when two tabs submit at once, an outdated tab must reload. This protects the stored life from being silently overwritten by an older screen.

After completing a life, open the life log and inspect an election or investment result if one occurred. The log records the outcome and the age. Starting a new life offers a confirmation and replaces the account’s current saved life. Before restarting, read the ending and choose whether to continue through a child.

A useful first session can end before the character reaches old age. Play through the first school decision, resolve the next event, then open the life log to confirm that the result is recorded. Close the log and continue. This small exercise teaches the difference between a decision screen and the record of decisions you have already made.

When you are ready to stop, allow the current request to finish and remember which account you used. The next time you sign in, Continue saved life opens that account’s current life. Login and saved lives on the original reference remain separate. Different accounts on this site also have separate progress and access.
