HOW WILL YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE? Will you become a millionaire whose family remembers them kindly — or end up in prison, brought down by choices you made decades ago? Live a modern life where choices return years later. Every one of them. With interest. Tiny Fates is a text-based life simulator about work, money, love, family, health, reputation, and the compromises that shape a lifetime. Age one year at a time, choose your response, and watch old decisions open doors — or return with a bill. SHARE YOUR EXACT FATE Every life gets a Fate Code. Share it with a friend and they can replay your exact life — every choice, year by year — as a spectator. With thousands of choices and ending ribbons to collect, no two lives are the same. YOUR CHOICES LEAVE RECEIPTS A school rivalry can become an adult alliance. A hidden family debt can reshape trust. A reputation hit can follow you into a future opportunity. Your history matters beyond the next stat change. LIVE ANY LIFE • Follow careers from ordinary jobs to ambitious leadership paths • Date, marry, raise children, and sit down to multi-person family dinners and work hangouts • Born into royalty? Choose your birth era — dot-com, 2008 crisis, pandemic, or the AI boom • Adopt or foster — build a family however it comes together • Save, invest, borrow, buy property, and survive economic shocks • Face illness, crime, fame, burnout, retirement, and rare turns of fate • Set custom goals, try a harder start, export a life transcript, and replay with new origins PLAY EVERY DAY Daily challenges, weekly themed runs, and streak rewards give you a reason to come back — and each run is a fresh, shareable fate. QUICK TO PLAY, HARD TO FORGET Tap to age up. Read a sharp event. Make the call. A life can move quickly, but its consequences build across decades. When the story ends, keep the epitaph and begin again with a new plan. PLAY ANYWHERE Offline and on the go. Your life lives on your device. Available in many languages.
