Field notes
Players can choose a life duration of about 30 minutes, one hour, or 90 minutes; the one-hour setting advances roughly 40–60 seconds per year, with pause and speed controls. The page describes reflection prompts at ages five, fifteen, thirty, fifty, and seventy, and says recent lives can be reopened for their death records and share cards. It is marked beta and invites feedback.
