Forked Lives, a text-based life simulation game, is currently available in an open test format.
Forked Lives unfolds by allowing the player to choose one of 172 countries and regions, set birth conditions, and make various choices ranging from childhood to academics, career, family relationships, and friendship. It is possible to save critical decision points, return to the past, and try different choices, and past experiences or established relationships affect the game progression years later. Rather than perfectly replicating life in real countries, it applies simplified virtual rules.
While there is no real-time multiplayer or cooperative play, the developer notes that the experience can be enjoyed by sharing the same starting conditions with friends, playing on respective devices, and then comparing the differences in choices and outcomes. The development team aims to provide players with small conversational talking points through the experience of entirely different lives unfolding despite starting from the exact same point.
Forked Lives is currently available in an open test format, and AI tools were utilized assistively during the development process. It is a web game accessible for free through smartphone and PC browsers, with no separate download or account registration process required. It supports 15 languages, including Korean.

텍스트 기반 인생 시뮬레이션 게임 포크드 라이브즈(Forked Lives)가 공개 테스트 형태로 제공되고 있다.
포크드 라이브즈는 172개 국가 및 지역 중 하나를 선택해 출생 조건을 설정하고, 어린 시절부터 학업, 직업, 가족 관계, 우정에 이르는 다양한 선택을 할 수 있는 방식으로 진행된다. 중요한 선택 지점을 저장해두고 과거로 돌아가 다른 선택을 시도하는 것이 가능하며, 과거 경험이나 관계 설정이 수년 후 게임 진행에도 영향을 미친다. 실제 국가의 삶을 완벽하게 재현하기보다는 단순화된 가상 규칙을 적용했다.
실시간 멀티플레이나 협동 플레이는 없지만, 친구와 같은 출발 조건을 공유한 뒤 각자의 기기에서 플레이한 후 선택과 결과의 차이를 비교하는 방식으로 즐길 수 있다. 개발진은 같은 출발점에서 시작했음에도 완전히 다른 삶이 전개되는 경험을 통해 이용자에게 소소한 이야기거리를 제공하고자 했다.
포크드 라이브즈는 현재 공개 테스트 형태로 제공되고 있으며, 개발 과정에서는 AI 도구가 보조적으로 활용됐다. 스마트폰 PC 브라우저를 통해 무료로 이용 가능한 웹게임이며, 별도 다운로드나 계정 등록 과정도 없다. 한국어를 포함한 15개 언어를 지원한다.
