Life Simulator: Fateline

Fateline is a life simulator where every outcome makes sense. Most life simulators are a slot machine. Things happen to you, you never find out why, and a run you cared about ends on a dice roll nobody explained. Fateline is built on the opposite idea. THREADS Every meaningful choice opens a named causal thread, and that thread stays on screen. Skip school at 14 and Truancy opens. Keep skipping and it thickens — you can watch it get heavier, year by year, in the rail on the right. At 18 the No Diploma card fires and tells you exactly why: because you skipped school at 14, 15 and 16. No event in Fateline can fire without naming its cause. Not one. If an event can't explain itself, the game refuses to show it. And every negative thread has at least one documented way out. Tap it and the game tells you how to close it. You are never stuck in a spiral you can't read. A WHOLE LIFE, 10 TO 25 MINUTES Roll a character. Age up one year at a time, making two to four real decisions each year. Education, careers, money, debt, relationships, children, health, crime, fame. Eight career tracks from general work and the trades to software, medicine, law, politics, performance and organised
