It starts by generating a life based on current population and birth rate statistics (you have a 1 in 5.3 chance of being born in India). Once born, players face realistic events and problems that typically occur in the country of your birth, making decisions and witnessing the consequences as they age and 'live' the simulated life. Lives proceed on a yearly basis and, as players make decisions, the data engine adjusts possible outcomes for that particular life.Many features allow teens to explore the simulation in more depth, including an 'undo' option permits players to rethink a decision and then see how the change affects their simulated lives. A life can be experienced in 30 minutes or a couple of hours.
