Cute experience with some pretty unique ideas. Expect to grind a little as it is a survival game, but that's kind of the point lmao. Me and my friend were born as Jessica and Julia Pheonix and we did literally nothing for our tribe- funniest hour of my life. My kids were more competent than me. If it looks like your thing I recommend checking it out, I doubt I'll play it often but it's a cool experience.
I loved it
Requires lots of experience to learn crafting recipes and what to do in the game to help a village.
Becomes really fun once you know you will become a very useful member of the village, sometimes ending up being the one carrying the development of it.

eu amo a ideia por trás desse jogo
fun game, other players are very helpful in teaching new players the basics. it can be pretty confusing to try and figure out more late game mechanics so i personally just tended to stick to farming, making pies, and upkeeping graveyards (which i still found fun).
I've only played 2 lives, but this game is really beautiful. Most of the people I've found are really nice and it really does feel like being born in a family.
First time I was born, my mom taught me to make bread. I had one son and one daughter. I didn't have much of a relationship with my son until later in my life, but my daughter was always by my side. She also had 2 daughters. When I died, everyone was there. My second granddaughter had been born and Anna (my daughter) named her in honor of me.
Second time, I was born to a farmer who taught me how to plant corn. She was always by my side but sadly ended up dying. I kept her corn farm running. Then, she showed up, reborn as my grand-niece.
The game is a bit hard to learn and to control, but it's still a really cool idea and very interesting.

This feels like an experiment more than a game. That's not a bad thing; it's extraordinarily interesting to be born into a confusing environment, unsure what to do, how to do it, and try to stay alive as long as you can, all the while wrestling with what little mechanics and power you have. I wonder if looking up recipes and how to build stuff would make it better or if that would ruin part of the intended confusion. I ultimately recommend trying it, but given the type of game it is, I'm unsure when or if it will expire.
