LifeLine is a text-based life simulator, BitLife-style, built around one idea: your choices should actually compound instead of resetting every year. Skip asking for a raise twice and your boss remembers. Miss two mortgage payments and the bank forecloses. How you were raised as a kid shapes what jobs and relationships even open up as an adult. Free to play from birth to death. No forced ads, no pay-to-win, no subscription. Built solo, still actively shipping new content.
