How it plays

Three ideas. A lifetime of stories.

You can learn it in a minute. The guided first year walks you through it on a real life, not a tutorial.

  1. 01

    Live a whole life, one year at a time.

    Tap +1 Year and the world moves. School, first jobs, love, luck and ruin arrive as they would — with a card that tells you what matters right now.

    The Life screen: a character card, a What Now prompt and the year's attention squares
  2. 02

    Every year, you get a little time.

    Gold squares are this year's attention. Study, train, see people, chase money or rest — you can't do everything, and that's the game.

    The Do screen listing activities like Study, Train your body and See people
  3. 03

    Every life leaves something behind.

    When a life ends, the family carries on. Heirs inherit the name, the money, the reputation — and whatever you left unfinished.

You, in pixels

A face from the family, a look that grows with you

Every character is drawn from their genes — hair, eyes, skin and build pass down the line. Their clothes follow the life: a school blazer, a first suit, the coat of someone who made it. Traits you earn along the way decide who you become and how you'll be remembered.

People

Everyone you meet has a life of their own

Friends drift if you neglect them. Partners text when something is wrong. A rival from school turns up as a colleague twenty years later. Pick up the phone and someone may need you for a mission that pulls you somewhere new.

  • Relationships that warm, cool and remember
  • Chats and calls from the people in your life
  • Missions your friends and family drag you into

Path

Decide what this life is for

Seven ambitions, each a climb with real gates rather than a checklist. Build a career, found a company, run for office or slip into the underworld — every route is priced off the same moving economy.

  • Careers with performance, standing and promotions
  • Ventures: businesses, campaigns, startups
  • Markets, property and a yearly cash flow you can read

Choices

Hard years have a way back

Debt, a lost job, a broken bond or a diagnosis is never a dead end. The game tells you what it means, what you still have, and lays out the routes back — each with an honest cost. Comebacks are celebrated, not hidden.

  • Every choice says what it costs before you pick
  • Recovery routes for setbacks, with clear trade-offs
  • Nothing ever changes silently

Legacy

A fuller goodbye

Every life ends with an obituary written from what you actually did: what you built, who you loved, what you left behind. Share the card, then carry on as your heir — with the perks your bloodline has earned.

  • An obituary built from your real choices
  • A shareable life card
  • Family perks that pass down the generations

Challenge

One life, everyone, every week

Each week everyone plays the same fixed life — same family, same luck. See how far you can take it, then compare with real benchmark runs and, if you use Game Center, a weekly leaderboard.

  • A new seeded life every Monday
  • The same fair start for every player
  • Optional Game Center leaderboards and achievements

Seven ambitions

Pick a goal. Change course if life does.

  • The Tycoon

    Own everything. Answer to no one.

  • The Icon

    Be known by everyone, everywhere.

  • The Statesman

    Take power legitimately and keep it.

  • The Champion

    Be the best in the world at one thing.

  • The Kingpin

    Rule what the law can't reach.

  • The Saint

    Be remembered for what you gave away.

  • The Patriarch

    Build a family that outlasts you.

  • …or none

    Some of the best lives in the game are the quiet ones.

LifeSaga Pro

One more decision every year

The full game is free. Pro adds to it and never removes anything — it's how LifeSaga pays for itself without ads.

  • +1 attention every year in your own lives
  • The rewind: undo the year that killed you, once per life
  • Every past week's challenge, not just this one
  • 300 AI chat replies a day instead of 60
  • Ranked challenges stay fair — Pro's extras switch off inside them

Available monthly, yearly (with a free trial) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple ID settings. See the Terms of Use.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is LifeSaga free?

Yes. The whole game — every life, ambition, generation and the weekly challenge — is free to play. LifeSaga Pro is an optional upgrade that adds to the game; it never takes anything away from players who don't buy it.

Are the people in the game real?

No. Everyone in the game is fictional, including the character you play. You can design them or let fate decide.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No account, ever. The game plays offline. A connection is only used for optional extras: AI chat replies, sending feedback, and checking whether a new version is out.

What happens to my save if I change phones?

If you're signed in to iCloud with iCloud Drive on, your lives are mirrored to your own private iCloud and come back on your new iPhone. We never hold a copy.

What does AI chat do?

With AI replies turned on, the people in your life answer what you type in their own voice. It's off by default and asks first. With it off, characters reply from the game's own writing. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what is sent.

Which devices does it run on?

Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later. It's designed for iPhone in portrait, with Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast support.

Whose life will you shape?
