In the middle of nowhere sits a computer, placed on a table, plugged into the ground. A human approaches it to ask a question, which you'll have to answer. From that moment on, it all begins. New humans arrive, each one of them being influenced by your decisions. Every question these humans ask will impact their behavior, their way of thinking, and their environment. Observe them closely, because each of their actions could either help you, or harm you.

You are born with nothing — a name, a country, and a family you did not choose. From there, one year at a time, you decide who you become. WiseMan is a life simulator. The street is one road, not the only one. You can stay in school and become a doctor. You can open a shop and turn it into a holding company. You can run for office. Or you can take the other door, and find out what it costs. ONE CHOICE A YEAR Every year hands you a card. A friend needs an alibi. Your father calls for money. A stranger offers you work you shouldn't take. There is no right answer — only the answer you can live with, and the years that follow it. WHAT YOU CHOOSE COMES BACK A choice is not a number. Take the blame for someone today and, six years from now, a door opens that was closed to everyone else. Look away, and someone remembers. The game keeps your record and reads it back to you. THE INFLUENCE LADDER Street, money, office and name — four pillars, one score, seven rungs, from Kid of the Block to Legend. The top rungs do not fit inside a single life: a dynasty needs a second generation, a legend a third. A WHOLE LIFE, NOT A MENU Fall in love, marry, raise children, lose people. Study, work, get promoted, get fired. Buy a car, a shop, a house, a ship. Get sick, get old. Chronic illness does not go away — you manage it, and pay for it, for the rest of your life. Prison changes what people will do with you afterwards. WHEN YOU DIE, IT ISN'T OVER Your child inherits your name, your debts and your reputation. The Dynasty Book records the peak of every life — not the moment you died, but the highest you ever stood. BORN ANYWHERE Pick from over 250 countries and regions. Where you are born changes the names around you, the money in the house, the schools, the work, and the roads open to you. 22 LANGUAGES Written for each language, not run through a translator. Free to play. Optional purchases and rewarded ads; you can remove ads for good. No account, no sign-up. Your save lives on your phone and the game works offline.
