S. M. I. L. E. is a narrative life game where you live from birth to age 30 in one session. Every choice you make shapes five stats: Social, Mind, Impact, Life-force, and Empathy—your S. M. I. L. E. Together they decide your path and your happiness. Face events and decisions at every age. Your answers affect your stats and your happiness. Will you prioritise connection, ambition, health, or empathy? There’s no single “right” way—only the life you choose. Reach age 30 with high happiness for a Golden Life, or see how your choices play out in a more challenging run. Reflect on the moments that defined you, share your outcome, and try again with a new life. S. M. I. L. E. is a short, story-driven experience about the weight of choices and the kind of life you want to build.

HOW WILL YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE? Live a modern life where choices return years later. Every one of them. With interest. Will you become a millionaire whose family remembers them kindly — or end up in prison, brought down by choices you made decades ago? Tiny Fates is a text-based life simulator about work, money, love, family, health, and reputation. 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 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 FREE — OR GO AD-FREE The core life simulation is free, with ads and no loot boxes. Rewarded ads are optional.
