La Vallée, the Dwarf Who Keeps Living Without You
A planned real-time simulation in which one garden dwarf works, votes, survives disasters, and eventually passes the account to a child.
Field notes
The proposed simulation advances continuously, with harvests, snowfall, construction, elections, illness, and other events occurring while the player is away. Each player follows one dwarf rather than directing a whole settlement: work produces in-world coins, occasional messages request decisions, and succession passes the account to a child. The page says six months of real calendar time can span a life, and describes iPhone and Apple Watch access, but marks the project “Coming soon.”
